So the 100th episode is the spring premiere, but now we are an episode short (as we really always were). 22 + 22 + 22 + 22 +10 = 98. So we need one more episode, number 99, to get us to episode 100 for the spring premiere. STM is counted as two episodes. We won't go back on that, they made it quite clear ^^ And also because this discussion was painful and annoying as hell :P So let's not open again the door of the Devil :P

Yeah, and I saw Adam explaining it where he said this season split was going to be 10/12 after I wrote this. He did say in that message though "as on now". So maybe they had a change of plans, and are making episode 100 the fall finale. They could always reair it in the spring anyway. They reaired 4x21 and 4x22 this fall.
