I know there's a mechanical reason for this set-up, but for some reason it hurts the simulation factor.

It's easy enough to emulate an average full season (24 eps) by stringing three "5's" and one "9" together or three "9's" for a slightly longer season than normal (I think most US seasons last 22-26 eps).
That said, it bugged me a bit, too. The author's point is that most groups wouldn't play a full season, but I still would've liked to see it "canonized" in the rules for us ambitious players!
