100% - if you’re watching a show where a giant white balloon enforces discipline and you’re a viewer that’s then completely shocked that it had a finale that wasn’t straightforward, I feel that’s a little on the viewer for not accepting what the show has been saying it was from the start. In...

What’s the best domestic (U.S.) source for ordering Imprint if I’d like to get in on some Prisoner action? I missed the previous sets and wouldn’t mind owning this at a reasonable price.

These are by and large the same transfers that have been distributed to streaming storefronts for purchase in the US - if you want to see what it looks like before you buy, try renting it on iTunes or Vudu. As to whether or not Paramount should provide them, I’m not sure there’s a solution that...
