No spoilers please. I just wanted to know if DW will do holiday repeats like Lost is doing.

My wife swears by the show and I’ve passed it up until now.

But it seems like a popular show and I wanted to give it a second look.

Can I catch up?

I almost posted this same question myself! I watched an episode earlier with my mom, really enjoyed it, and would like to watch it from the beginning so I’m not so lost.

My guess would be – and it’s just a guess – that they’ll do reruns in January to hook in you poor stragglers before starting new eps for February sweeps.
