On the subject of failed pilots being duplicated, the Aquaman 2006 pilot:

These are the same piece of content, a put pilot for an Aquaman spin-off from Smallville which was not picked up, but was released on iTunes and later on DVD.

I see below that this merge has previously been requested and you stated that since it's on both TMDB and TVDB, they both stay. Is it not technically possible to attach the TMDB entry to a "show" or vice-versa?

Apologies if that's a question you get a lot, I'm not seeing anything in the knowledgebase or a search of data removal requests.

Personally in an ideal view i'd have just a single line per show with in-line tick to confirm if a show has been marked collected!

The calendar has been improved greatly of the years, thank you, I currently have it set as basic as possible with a grid with no pictures and filtered to only display my shows in progress.

I'd love to take this further, and be able to have a ultra simple text-only at-a-glance calendar view of multiple 4-5 weeks at once, where i could scroll through the weeks vertically like a calendar app.

The Settings page could have an option for the Basic calendar which would have a Smaller font size on the calendar to fit more in on the page, with maybe an option for 1 or 2 lines per show.

Via the calendar settings you could add tick boxes in the same vein as the current one for "Hide Specials" for the calendar items of: Time, Channel, Watched, Collected, Hide this show, Lists, rating etc. So that the calendar only displayed the things that were important to the user.

These hidden items could be displayed in an expanded box like that of the (clock+ icon) on the right of the watched/collected boxes on episode or movie home pages.

The main reason I, and I suspect, many others, use, and love, this website is that it is a near perfect tool to keep track of one's watch history. Seeing as that's the most important thing (to me anyway) I would love it if our accounts could get a little notification everytime a movie entry or tv show (or an episode from a tv show) that we've watched gets removed from the trakt database. Just so that we're aware of the things that are no longer accounted for in our watch history. Rather than 5 years later trying to find the title of a certain movie that you want to rewatch only to realise its no longer in your watch history, etc. If we can get a notification, then we can go and look for another (i.e. the real) movie/tv show entry and add that to our watch history. Or is there isn't another entry then we can then go and add a new entry/contribute new information on TMDB and/or TVDB, import it into trakt, and add it to our watch history.

(I would also love to have this feature for entries that are included in lists- for example I have a long list of things I want to watch and I would hate it if entries from that started to disappear without my knowledge).

I hope that this won't be too difficult to implement (fingers crossed) and that nobody else has already suggested this feature. I also hope this isn't already a feature that I just wasn't aware of already existing?

I originally posted this idea onto the VIP forums but thought that it would be more suitable/should also be posted here.

Currently, the episode shown to watch next is based on numerical order, so e.g. 4x20 will follow 4x19 - makes sense, of course.
But if there was a special that aired between these episodes, it will not show up as the next episode, which does of course get especially annoying when the specials are important to the plot of the series, for example Sherlock or Doctor Who.

So what I'd love is that the "Next episode to watch" on the Dashboard and the Watched Progress page are (maybe optionally) based on the next episode that aired after the latest episode watched, not the episode after it in numerical order.
