Yeah, like...why? Have you ever watched something twice? I have a few times but it was just as easy to find it a second time years later when I wanted to. You can just find it online instantly. What sort of media blackout are you expecting where you need every episode of its always sunny in philadelphia backed up on an external HD? It's pointless

I used to hoard TV. Now the only stuff I have backed up is stuff I have never watched. And after I watch something I usually delete it.

I don't save them, I just tend to download instead of stream because I've had buffering issues. Also because I'm one of those plebs who doesn't need everything in 1080p and the lower-res options take a lot less bandwidth.

Also, you aren't always with internet. Sometimes I take them flying with me. It's nice to have some favorite shows on long trips. Or if I'm in a hotel with horrible internet. Congrats on being fortunate enough to have constant internet, not everyone has that or can get it.

I am a happy consumer that buys Blu-rays and soundtracks to support properties that I like and enjoy. I might even buy the Blu-ray set of a TV show that I watched live the first time around. I'm old.

You know reading the Iron Fist reviews its kind of amazing how AOS gets the shaft from most people and how the Netflix series are so much more better and yet AOS does really well at the things that the Netflix series struggles at like pacing.

I must ave physical copies of things I like and want to watch multiple times. I need to have Ghostbusters, Big Trouble In Little China, Jaws, Big Lebowski and so on. Not to mention I'm a sucker for sales and I'll grab pretty much any blu ray that's 10bux or less that interests me. I hate not being in complete control of when I want to watch something. I haven't been able to find The Thing for a decent price, and its not on netflix or any other streaming service in Canada. Not to mention Canada is terrible because license holders will sit on stuff and not let it shown anywhere else. It's too bad people have forgotten AoS, it's just so solid, but the medicore DC shows get all the attention.

I keep copies of a lot less shows than I used to, just things that I really feel likely to watch again. I love my netflix, but playing wack-a-mole with half a dozen subscription services to have access to the show or movie I feel like watching at the time can get hosed.

Poor pacing is harder to notice when you can binge an entire series in a weekend. When a series is trickled out on a traditional schedule it's more noticeable. Especially when they do poo poo like 6 week breaks.

It's also silly when you realize you're shelling out for streaming services every month that cost more than a new release blue ray TV show. Seriously, you can easily end up like 60bux a month subscribing to various services, and not have access to everything.

Every time racial/gender portrayal comes up (as it has for Iron Fist) I remember that this show has white dudes in a mostly supporting role, and while May kicks rear end it isn't because she's using mystic kung fu, she's just the resident badass. We get occasional cheesecake shots, but this isn't shot as a cheesecake show.

It's not how I constantly define the show, but I've got friends who talk a lot about when shows do representation badly, so I tend to notice when shows I watch avoid that.

And if you have different tastes, you can probably find some combination for $30 or less that will saturate your every waking moment. And if you can't? You're.a loving child who will only eat hot dogs and instant lunches. Seriously, watch a documentary or an opera or a horror movie or stand-up or a drama or a comic book movie, make sure you're still a child and it's time for another year of hot dogs before you go and buy a season because you can't wait a year for it to be free. Take 1/10th of the time you're watching poo poo, one week every three months, three days a month, or a month whenever you run out of poo poo, I don't give a gently caress, to try watching something a little outside your comfort zone.

I buy blurays because I haven't even had TV hooked to my TV in five years and cable in almost a decade. The internet is wonderful, so I support my favorite stuff by buying their physical media. Even before Netflix, I wouldn't watch tv shows unless they had good buzz when the first collection came out.

Anything between two pieces of anything else is a sandwich. It doesn't have to be appetizing, or even edible, but it counts.  An "open face" sandwich, while potentially quite tasty, is not a sandwich, unless you take two of them and upend one upon the other.
