Why is "Release Type" not required when submitting a TV episode, but when fixing?

I was fixing episodes 1/2 (which imdb also had as "11"), as they did not premiere in 2020, but 2022. I also submitted 3 as 2020 by accident then realized the errors. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Love_Never_Lost (yes, it is Wikipedia, easier than linking to some Chinese websites to back up my cla

Aggregate Amazon reviews the IMDb reviews so they're all in both places

It would be highly beneficial for film and TV makers along with users and audiences if the reviews for a title on Amazon would be aggregated and combined with the reviews for that same title on IMDb.

A couple of bugs pertaining to soundtrack credits

Add 'Release Type' option to 'new episode' main interface.
