At the risk of opening another can of worms here, perhaps the above was the reasoning someone at Lionsgate had applied in (initially) releasing Season 7 on DVD only? I still think Blu-ray was the correct way to go, but I now do recall some of those later episodes being pretty bad. By the last season, I wasn't even watching the show anymore, although to be fair, outside factors might have also been in play at that time.Following on from my previous question, after what numerous posters have said here and elsewhere I'm wondering whether to continue buying the BDs even beyond season 4. I may well continue to season 6 but it seems like there's some pretty universally accepted shark jumping after that. Even the intermittent 'better' later episodes all seem to come with caveats.
Those first four seasons appear to be the bedrock on which LHotP's stellar reputation is built. Certainly, had the series actually begun somewhere around seasons 5–6, I seriously doubt it would be as much loved, discussed – or even released on BD – as it is today.
CHEERS!
