He's too strong for my tiny magic

Most people who read this blog know that I love Netflix. I am one of those people who watches the movie the same day I receive it and mail it back immediately (although while I was at Casa Schek, I was a bit more relaxed about it). And this is especially true while I'm in Maryland since my entertainment choices are more limited (but I do have access to the internet now so my choices have increased). Of all the movies that I have seen in the past 5 years, about 98% of them have been through Netflix. Netflix is great for seeing smaller films with limited releases and foreign films that were not released in America. But the greatest thing for Netflix is watching TV shows on DVD. Netflix is the perfect system for watching TV shows on DVD. You get 1 to 2 discs at a time, and you can burn through a disc in a night (or over a weekend) and then you have a day or two so you have a little bit of time away from the show. So basically you have the best timing for watching a TV show. You can watch all the episodes in a short enough time to remember the story lines (especially important for a show like Lost and those of its ilk) but there is a enough time so you don't get sick of the show (you can have an overload). And Netflix is pretty much the only way (except for BBCAmerica or possibly a good PBS show) to watch shows from the BBC or CBC.
