Alaginger ~ when you watch it at cbs.com, is each episode roughly 15 minutes total? I click on an episode and that seems to be all I get.

Thanks!

Kappy, each _piece_ of the episode is about 8-15 minutes long. There will be 4 pieces and they will load one after the other.

I don't know about the rest of you, but the last two times I've checked this out and recorded things for us in the spoiler section, I have not had to pick an episode. I just bring up CBS.com, the click shows, then click Pirate Master and then just sit back. The video is right on the opening page, works without any encouragement from me, and changes from the first input, to the second, to the third, and then to the fourth and final without me ever doing anything.

Is this what is happening for the rest of you? I do know that my viewing is set for Windows Media Player...so that may be why I don't have a bit of problem (knock on wood).

I also have WMP, but it is still the old start for a few seconds and off a few seconds....totally maddening.

Alaginger, -- that's how it's been working for me as well. It automagically loads the most current episode and just plays. I haven't had the stopping and restarting that others have talked about, not at all. I also noticed that last week's ep didn't even have a since commercial.

Ginger, that's how it's worked for me, too.

Well.......I can see that it is easy, easy, easy for some of us.......and not so easy for others, and that's a shame, because it takes the fun out of it when you are aggravated the whole time trying to watch it. Well, we only have two more episodes (I do believe), and I don't know how they are going to show the last one starting with 4 pirates. Time will tell.

OG, when I have that problem, I just hit 'pause' for a couple of minutes. After that, it plays right thru.

Thanks, Brenda, and everyone else for your suggestions. I would really like to see these episodes so I'll give it another try.

ACK! Now I'm having trouble with the show constantly stopping to "buffer". It's very annoying. I wonder if just trying another time of day would help. :-(

Oh, and I see the commercials are back!

Strange -- parts 2, 3, and 4 loaded without any buffering. Good episode.

I just watched '12'. I had to download the whole thing before I could watch it in peace. I brought it up, turned off the sound and minimized it to the bottom tool bar, waited 45 minutes and, voila, there it was with no waiting.

I tried the 'pause' fix to no avail. Thanks anyway, Kar.

From reality blurred:
Cheryl Kosewicz, a cast member on CBS’ now-cancelled Pirate Master, has died as a result of suicide
Cast member Nessa posted to the Pirate Master Facebook group on Saturday, writing, “Cheryl was found dead in her home on yesterday from suicide. Her beloved boyfriend had also taken his own life in June. All of the pirates and Cheryls friends and family are shocked and devastated. It is a tragic loss that we all feel very deeply…

Okay, I have in the last two days watched all the remaining "online" episodes of PirateMaster and although I know it is old news to all of you I want to put my 2 cents in!

It is unfortunate that CBS chose to put this show on online status at this point because honestly I enjoyed the last few episodes more than I did the earlier ones. It could be because there was a month-long break for me or it could be because they were more interesting episodes with less chit chat and more action. I was brokenhearted when Louie was set adrift and was glad to see that Ben was honest with him before his departure, and still was feeling bad about it afterward. Ben may have potential as a human being, you think (besides being a major cutie)?

I think Jay was robbed but it was kind of one of those "you reap what you sow" things. He had doublecrossed so many people that his lack of support was predictable.

Loved that the ghost crew got to judge the pirates at the end and that they also got to participate. One thing is for sure -- these people were not afraid to speak their minds...LOL!

I hope someday, if Kendra is ever lucky enough to have a chld (with her personality I'm not sure that it is a certain thing) that she goes back and apologizes to Christa for her "get a job and make your daughter proud" remarks. What a total and stupid thing to say. Christa is doing the hardest and most important thing in the world. I'm a working mom and I struggle with the fact that I have had to leave my child since she was 7 weeks old. Although I have done the best job I can raising my daughter I know that she wishes I could be at home more. I'm probably not cut out to be a super stay-at-home mom but I would have liked the opportunity to have tried it, simply because I know my child would love to have me around more (and I'm realizing that those days where she wants me around are soon going to be few and far in-between as she is almost a preteen...LOL). Anyway, for Kendra to think that Christa being a stay-at-home mom is somewhat less than admirable is enough to make me want to slap her off the deck. I commend Christa for not doing so!

Loved Nessa at the end. She was certainly enjoying her day in the sun!

Anyway, beautiful ship, beautiful scenery and I really good finale. Too bad it didn't get a better send-off.

I haven't been paying attention to this show since they took it off of the air, I don't even know who won, or did they sink the ship? And I had no idea Cheryl killed herself, that's horrible, thanks for posting it. Anyone know why she did it? Very sad.

From what I understand her fiance had committed suicide a few weeks before she did...perhaps she sank into a depression and couldn't work her way out. Too sad.
