yea this is a new trend starting this year mostly with big suspense shows like lost and heroes and 24 and jericho where like you cannot miss an episode to understand the whole story, and every week is like the week that changes everything but actually not. The idea behind the long breaks is to allow people who missed episodes to catch up online or through repeats, and becuase shows like lost and heroes take a longer time to produce than a normal drama they show them in consecutive chunks and then breaks instead of like 2 out of every 3 weeks, but yes it does get very annoying, but these shows are so addictive that you don't care.
