Specials link on episodes page always at top of page

At this writing, the season named "specials" shows as the lowest numbered season of the season links on the episodes page. Being the lowest numbered season, "specials" is the bottommost season displayed. The link to the "specials" season is displayed last.

For long running shows having many seasons (How It's Made), the seasons link display is split. The user is required to scroll to the bottom of the the last season displayed and click a link allowing all season links to be displayed, including the "special" season link.

I propose always showing the "special" season link at the top of the episodes page, regardless of the number of season links displayed. This would allow users to view specials more easily.

Well, showing it below the current season, at any rate. it doesn't make much sense to show it below season 1 of a season 8+ season show.

It's likely that we'll also look at this when we get to the http://www.tvmaze.com/threads/1888/better-handling-of-specials feature. Perhaps showing significant specials together with the seasons and insignificant specials separately at the bottom. I've linked this thread from the pending feature as a reference. :)

I reviewed that feature topic before I posted. My suggestion is not about classifying types of specials; it is a page navigation format request.

Just keep the "Specials" link up top. This is what I mean...

Ooooooh! And maybe a "More Seasons" link on the right-hand side, when needed, so the user doesn't have to scroll all the way to the bottom to show the additional season links.
