Jen, sadly, seasons one and two of Homicide are short...that's why the one box. Because being a network exec, like crime, makes one stupid. Which is sad because they are the best,imo. (Are you not getting A&E's sets?)
Congratulations to the class of 1999. You all proved more or less adequate.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Yeah, I was signed up for Netflix. After awhile, I realized that I really only have time to watch three or four movies a month, which was nowhere near enough to make it seem worth it. So I cancelled. Simple as that.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
So let's see where we stand:
One: They lie. They have different fulfilment schedules for people who use the service to the maximum of the agreement they have uttered, versus the people they are trying to rope in.
They don't -- cf Terms of Use.
Two: They attempt to rope people into agreements that are onerous. Pay the sum every month, even if it is not a good deal.
I haven't seen you provide any evidence of them a) roping, b) being onerous that aren't easily countered by not buying what you don't want.
Three: None of the stuff they offer really belongs to them.
No evidence that they haven't bought the DVDs they rent.
Any other reasons they're the Bad Guys?

I think there are some DVDs from say, Sundance, that they do have some kind of exclusive with, actually.

The name is dumb.
On 2.a: (Roping) A free month on the more-expensive plan, with an automatic enlistment.
On 2.b: Automatic enlistment.

Tell me more about the more-expensive plan enlistment, please. I've been a customer of theirs for years, and I'm not aware of it. Not that Netflix needs my help, but you're lobbing a lot of accusation and much less evidence.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Automatic enlistment.
Lots of companies do that. Not that it makes it more OK for them to do it, but....

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Somehow it has been a very busy day even though I haven't done all that much. Hmmm. Drinking cocoa now and grading. And not planning on joining the Netflix debate.

erika - yay, I was hoping you'd pop in and see that.
Yes, I think I am getting the A&E sets. Netflix tells me there are 13 eps from S1 and S2. Which, as I'm looking at it, I interpreted as being a selection of episodes as opposed to two full seasons, because I didn't know about the shortness. Oh, good. (I mean, the shortness isn't good, but the me getting to see all the eps is good)
Totally put it in the queue because of reading your posts about the show over the past couple of years, by the way. So glad I did.

Yes, yes. Now with the evidence, from the settlement:
... If you accept the upgraded account, you will be put on that upgraded plan at the end of your free month ...
