It's really not a subscription service.

If you get a bulk price for buying a fixed number of episodes, then it's not a subscription service. You don't lose anything when you unsubscribe but you never got much to begin with. This sounds like false advertising on Apple's part.

You don't seem to get it...

...and I don't feel like explaining it to you. But for $0.63 per
episode this sounds like a much better deal than it used to be.
Hopefully more networks will start using this pricing scheme in
iTunes and elsewhere.

Pieces of Shows?

Funny thing too - I was just talking about this exact scenario with
my fiance a couple weeks back - with the Colbert Report in
particular, but I would rather subscribe to just receive "The Word"
rather than the whole show -sort of like carving a single out of an
album I guess.

I would pay $4 a month to get that one section of content from
each show - am not sure about $10 for the whole show, but that is
a personal preference with each show I suppose...
