orikesI actually signed up for Netflix, not because of the movies, but for the television series DVDs. I really can't justify the expense for cable tv, since I rarely watch it. While I've got nothing against good television, I hate being tied to the same bat channel, same bat time to get my fix. About two years ago, I discovered the joy of season DVDs.
Babylon 5 got me started. I was able to borrow seasons one through four from various friends, but no one had season five. For good reason according to some fans, but for completeness sake, I wanted to rewatch it. I found out that Netflix had it available, so I signed up and finished watching the series.
After that came Farscape, which I had always wanted to watch, but never had the time or the cable access. It was well, well worth the time spent viewing. The series is going down as one of my favorites. My only regret right now is that I can't find a poster for my computer room, dammit. Amidst Farscape came CSI. I ripped through four seasons of that show and could definitely rip through five more. I'm a bit of an addict.
Now comes Lost. I heard about it. I read about it. I thought it sounded cool, but I didn't feel like trying to catch it on TV. So, it went on the Netflix list. Today, I finished watching the first disk of the first season. The two-hour pilot and then Tabula Rasa and Walkabout. I'm hooked.
I keep getting the feeling that this is what television would be if M. Night Shyalman were writing it. Gimme more. Right now. Dammit.

Date: 2006-04-16 04:43 pm (UTC)Basically I have a cycle of three types of things going at once: Movie, SF Series, Mundane Series. After I'm done with the first season of Lost, SG-1 is queued up to go next.
And P.S... I'll try and log into CbtB tonight. I've been hooked playing with the new computer and all the games I couldn't get to run before. :)
