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

YAAAAAY, THEY HAVE IT :excited:

I still think it's kind of a dick move for Netflix to do that, though. :grump:

WHAT, REALLY???

Although part of the reason why I liked Netflix to begin with was because I could watch my shows while eating dinner or while lounging around on the couch. It's a little more difficult to do that on my desktop, but I'll look into this nonetheless. :'D

I don't pay attention to the new releases, though sometimes I feel like I should. The one time I actually looked at the new release section, they had an entire new season of Doctor Who, so I feel like good stuff shows up there every once in a while. :D

Part of me wants to avoid watching it online due to its questionable legal status, but the other part of me wants to just say "SCREW IT, YOU WATCHED DIGIMON ON YOUTUBE, SO WHY NOT WATCH AVATAR ON ANOTHER SITE???"

ANOTHER REASON WHY I DO NOT LIKE NETFLIX! -grabs a torch- Sooo, who's up to see Netflix burn? I know I am >:3 DOWN WITH NETFLIX!
I STRONGLY STRONGLY DETEST THE FACT that they split up the DVD and the streaming package up. IT WAS SO MUCH EASIER! :iconfmlplz:
