I watched the last episode of Season 5 online a couple of weeks ago, and now it looks like the entire Season 5 is missing. Anyone know what’s going on and whether it will reappear?

It doesn’t look very hopeful. They’ve probably pulled them in hopes of boosting DVD sales … although the DVD, according to Amazon, doesn’t come out until December 8. I guess everyone who hasn’t seen it is out of luck until the winter.
