Sorting list of TV shows by episode number
I have a list of all the TV shows I want to watch someday. Many of the TV shows on that list are quite short and don't have a lot of episodes.

separate category for Military Technical Advisor
I suggest that, in the "profession" section (immediately beneath the talent's name), there should be a separate category for Military Technical Advisor.

Hi. I added some posters recently and could see my contributions on Your Contribution History (beta) page. Really want a clean slate (because now it feels like a mess - posters were random, I just went through some titles with bad posters and added better ones) and don't want to re-create my account

“Report this” in the Trivia section needs a “Series spoiler” option
Sometimes an item on the Trivia page for an episode can contain spoilers about events later on in the series, like “When this person does that it foreshadows his dead three episode hence.” Even if the item is place in the spoiler section of the episode’s Trivia page it ruins one’s enjoyment/surprise
