Yeah I agree with that. I have a few friends who watch all their CW programming on Netflix and once it's gone, they're done.

At this rate what will happen is that the networks that pull their shows from Netflix and then fail to get their own streaming services off the ground will then have to come crawling back to Netflix with Netflix now having the upper hand in contract negotiation.

This is more likely to hurt Netfilx:quote:In the coming weeks, Netflix plans to ensure that customers are only able to access the official library for the country they are currently in, not any overseas libraries they may attempt to access with technical tricks such as proxy servers and unblocking services. Till now, geo-dodging meant Netflix could act as a paid pirating service.

Nah, they're more likely to turn to Amazon or Hulu. I can see Amazon being the more attractive option, actually, if their add-on service ends up being a success. Like you said, it's actually a REALLY smart idea.

Amazon has the advantage of offering other benefits besides streaming, like they are planning on rolling out an across the board 20% discount on all video games for Prime members.

Yeah, everyone has said for years that cable would be fine if you could could pick and choose what channels you paid for. Now it's pretty much going to happen. Just not through the cable company.

Just not through the cable company. Seems like it would be easier if there was a Steam-like client for all of these channels, where you could pay for whatever channels you want. So like 3 dollars for CW, 5 dollars for HBO, etc. At the end, it's like 50 dollars a month for all the channels you want, no commercials. And if you don't want to pay, that's all good, CSPAN is free! The client takes a ten percent cut from all transactions, the channel execs are happy, the audience is happy. That's how I make my millies.

So have you ever wondered to yourself, "What would it be like if Heroes did a rehash episode of Company Man, but this time there's a rape baby involved?" Well wonder no longer.

Underrated dramatic actress too, IMO; I liked her work in The Girl Next Door and He Was a Quiet Man (an otherwise terrible indie film with Christian Slater). She just never really lived down the cougar poo poo from 24.

Colony certainly comes across as USA's most expensive show. So far no shoddy blue screens and the FX has been pretty well done.

What happened to watching TV on your phone. I remember Sprint used to have that option. Why are old people unwilling to let the tv go. Nobody wants to watch tv on that.
