Gotta love loopholes. No purchase is necessary... but only because On Demand orders are just rentals.

At least those willing to deal with such dirty pool can hit the show or encyclopedia page and see the correct order.

The press release doesn't say if the movies will be free or not to view. Nor does it say when they're going to start. A search of On Demand right now has a 2-minute sneak peak, and a 9-minute "exclusive" (that seems to be an intro to the series).

No. However, the official rules include both the usual "No purchase necessary" clause and the statement that the only way to enter is from watching each of the first four episodes (at $0.99 each) and then correctly answering questions on their website. It sounds like a necessary purchase to me.
