Anim can relive the magic!!  ;p

 

Serious question, was there a season one “linear premiere“?

 

And what is a "linear premiere"?

 

"Linear" = broadcast (or cable) TV. As opposed to "streaming".

 "Linear" is meaningless industry jargon. D.T. is asking you not to use
the term at all.
No, I wasn't.  Because I didn't know what it meant.  Personally I

suspect a better division would be between interval release (1 episode a week like traditional TV) and batch release (all episodes released at once for immediate binging).
