Man, I gotta cut down... 64 items in my Netflix Queue...

10 movies...
2 seasons of Babylon 5
2 seasons of Star Trek Voyager (only Trek series I haven't seen every episode of yet, so I'm going through the whole thing).

And a few other single-disks of TV series.

Like DirecTivo isn't enough... especially now that Stargate, Stargate Atlantis, and Battlestar Galactica are starting back with new episodes...



How many items do you have in YOUR (insert mail-movie-rental service here) queue?

Dunno much about Netflix, but someday I plan to watch Babylon 5 all the way through (never watched it before).
I'm gonna need to be in a nursing home to have time at the rate I'm going.
How do you make sure you get the episodes in order?



I suffer from the same sensitivity that you do. A few nuggets of wisdom were shared with me and I'm "trying" to incorporate them into my life. First, remember that nobody can hurt your feelings unless you let them. You can always reject what is being forced on you emotionally.
Second, nothing changes unless you change it. If you don't want the behavior to be repeated then you need to take action. Otherwise the kid has learned that his behavior is the way to get things done, because everyone lets him get away with it.
In the meantime I sympathize because I've been there.

h'

Put the disks in your "queue" in order...
Thus far, I've never had a TV series disk available as anything other than "now".. so I've never gotten them out of order.

Of course, if I did, I could theoretically rip the disk to my HD using Mactheripper, and watch them in order when I got all the disks...

Babylon 5 is worth the time. At least, the later seasons are... once the ongoing story arc really gets rolling.

So far that option is purely theoretical, eh?

Yessiree... Just a theory...

Because that would be technically illegal

So would burning copies to DVD of some movies to have a few handy to watch..

How, after perusing forums and earning a days pay does one find time to watch TV 24/7 or on demand or at all?
