But if you watched 127 online episodes, even if they are of the same program, shouldn't that put you in master status? I mean, they might be the same overall show, but each episode is different.

That's Movie Master, I say!

Rules of the challenge state that any TV series has to be watched as a full season in order to count.

But I like your reasoning, Travis.

Travis, I've recalculated my totals with the Russian series, adjusting it to take into account the number of episodes and the North American season equivalent.
