And that's exactly why they have the bombs. After a long hiatus, people would probably lose interest in the show. They need to make comeback that reignites any lost interest due to the hiatuses.

Hiatuses happen because, either: more episodes are needed, the network is extending the life of the show by showing reruns instead of new eps and getting money in the process, or if the show is getting cancelled (the first two aren't mutually exclusive btw).

But after a hiatus, it is abvious to assume that some people have lost interest due to the long wait time. So they need to entice them back. Most shows have a big promotional push when coming out of a hiatus. Such as a story changing unexpected twist, sudden guest star appearances, or what SU does, Bombs.

A single episode of SU is less than a quarter of an hour long. It's too short for a single episode to have an impactful twist that just won't leave the viewer disappointed, even angry, after waiting for so long only to begin a cliffhanger and more waiting.

So yeah. . . Bombs \o/
