GOD DAMN IT, NETFLIX

Journal Entry: Thu May 24, 2012, 9:44 PM


(Copy-pasta'd from my Tumblr because of reasons)

So lately, I've been re-watching Avatar: The Last Airbender because all this Korra stuff is on my dashboard all the time, and I wanted to actually watch the entire series before I started watching Korra. The first two seasons were pretty familiar to me; I had watched them when they were first aired on TV, but the third season was entirely new to me because I had stopped watching TV at that point.

So anyway, I'm just plowing through the series, and I watched a good chunk of the third season in the past couple days. Yesterday, I finished the episode before the "The Day of the Black Sun" story arc, where Aang and his friends finally invade the fire nation, apparently. You know, one of those BIG, HUGE, CRUCIAL-TO-THE-PLOT story arcs.

Today, I turned on Netflix on our Wii. "The Day of the Black Sun" was missing from the episode list, along with the series finale. They were there the day before, so I figured it was a glitch or something. Anyway, I logged onto Netflix from my computer to see what was up.

Apparently now I have to pay extra to see those crucial, crucial episodes. Yesterday, they were included in the monthly fee that we pay for Netflix.

I can't

I just--



Why--



Why do you do this to me



FUCK YOU, NETFLIX



I HOPE YOU STEP ON A LEGO

GO FUCK A CACTUS

GODDMANIT, YOU HAD BETTER NOT FUCKED AROUND WITH MY OTHER SHOWS

WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO ME, NETFLIX

HERE'S ANOTHER ANGRY GIF THAT IS VERY FITTING AND YET I CANNOT MUSTER UP THE RATIONAL THOUGHT TO STICK IT IN MY BITCHING SOMEWHERE



Addendum


So apparently, the missing episodes are "disc only" which means that people who have the DVD rental plan included with their subscriptions don't have to worry about this.

Still, as a person who has just the basic plan, I am not happy about this. I wouldn't be as upset about this if the episodes weren't available to me before today, but goddamnit, Netflix (or someone along the line) took that away, and I am not happy about this at all. :grump:

It's like if the ability to view Daily Deviations or access the forum was suddenly taken away from the non-subscribed members of dA, and given solely to the subscribed folks. THIS IS NOT COOL, BRO

Funny enough, I've seen "Last Airbender" (the show) due to much much persuading by these three sisters I know. It was pretty cool; my brother however hasn't seen "Last Airbender" and is currently watching "Korra" with me. So it's an interesting perspective change since he knows little to nothing with what happens in the original series.

but yes, Netflix, you fiend!

Holy shit. It's a good thing that I basically did the same thing you did but about a month ago.

Also the transition from A:tla to Korra was sorta jarring for me. It's pretty different (but still awesome).

Maybe that's why FMA: Brotherhood doesn't have all of the episodes posted on there....

Nickelodeon's website has them all available for viewing, so you can still watch the episodes legitimately that way. I'd imagine that it might be more difficult to get your parents to watch something off your computer screen than it would be to get them to watch it off the TV, though, since my parents are that way.

Maybe you can get them hooked by the stuff that's actually on Netflix and see if they're willing to watch the missing episodes online. =P

Well they've got a lot of great stuff, I'm just upset that they'd do something like that.

Pfft, jalapeņos wouldn't be potent enough. I say replace them with ghost chili peppers.

They do, I enjoyed digging up the old cartoons from the 90's and early 20's xD like The Men in Black the animated series.

Omg lets just skip the peppers and move up to Mace. :iconmegustamuchoplz:

Try checking Nick.com. They have all the Korra episodes so far, they MIGHT have them. Or Nicktoons Network. They play Avatar like 24/7 alongside Power Rangers and Dragonball Z Kai @_@
