I'm starting to think I'm cursed when it comes to DW finales.

Season 1: Got into it through the Sci-Fi channel so didn't watch it new (although easy to get ahold of once I went search for it).
Season 2: Was working late that night, came home at midnight to the crying eyes out episode
Season 3: Went out of town for weekend, saw it a couple days late.
Season 4: Movie afternoon, but at least I will get to see it tonight.

Don't even get me started on Christmas episodes which can not bode well for next year's specials.
