How could you do this to me?

[minxy]

Dear Netflix,

I am, admittedly, kind of a whore for SciFi television; I do consider it something of a grand addiction and Farscape, as we know, is the very best kind of crack. You benefit monetarily from this little obsession of mine, and I get my fix; it's a good arrangement, I feel.

It is therefore unacceptable that you can't tell me when a solid third of the last season will be available for me to view. How could you blithely substitute the last six or so episodes as though I wouldn't notice that you'd switched the order, Netflix? I thought we really had something. I thought we understood each other. I thought we had a *deal.* How could you fail me in the middle of the last season of Farscape, Netflix? Of Farscape.

I'm so disappointed.

Listen, I am not skipping A Prefect Murder, Coup by Clam, Unrealized Reality, Kansas, Terra Firma, Twice Shy, Mental as Anything and Bringing Home the Beacon JUST BECAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW WHEN THE DISCS WILL BE AVAILABLE.

Don't think I won't go to other sources, Netflix. I'm trying to be above board, here; I like that TPTB, wherever they be, have some way of tracking my interest-bordering-on-obsession with this show. But I don't HAVE to give you my money; I KNOW PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET.

I shall give you approximately 5 minutes to sort this out while I try not to hyperventilate.

Yours, unlovingly,

Minx



Dear People Who Price Up the Farscape DVDs,

How much are the Starburst Editions per season again? Wait, HOW MUCH???

*weighs the value of obsession vs. financial solvency*

You aren't making it easy to be law abiding, you know.

No love,

Minx

That sucks. I have an extra season four boxset that I can loan you if you don't have other means.

I would love you forever. I am not kidding about this.

[sugargroupie.livejournal.com]

Hee, believe me, I understand. Can you email me your address? My LJ email is fine. I can get them out tomorrow.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_minxy_/]

When I send them back, I will include cookies.

You are so amazing--you beat Netflix! Even the not!Farscape discs!

*loves on you*

[trika.livejournal.com]

*checks which Netflix Farscape S4 DVD I still have*

*whew*

How can people not return them in time for you to see them when you're ready?

*whistles innocently*

*goes back to watching Peacekeeper Wars*

I've never had a problem before!

...I suspect that I really couldn't resent it too much if it were you, or another bonefide fan. *g* I suspect they just don't have enough copies.

See, I *want* to be watching the PKWars. I'm just not willing to skip good stuff to get there, yanno?

And, incidently, they apparently have plenty of copies of the last few eps and the mini anyway. *grumbles*

[trika.livejournal.com]

I've never had a problem with Netflix not having a disc I wanted either. I guess there's a first time for everything. Sorry you got stuck this time. I've got the last disc of the season and have to return it tomorrow.

I own PKW so I was able to pop that one right in afterwards.

I've had it happen a couple of times. If you want to get a Christmasy movie in December, you're probably out of luck, for example.

egads Netflix!

I was going to offer my extra S4 set but Shunda beat me to it :)

[http://users.livejournal.com/_minxy_/]

Y'all are love. I've even stopped hyperventilating, mostly.

[50mm.livejournal.com]

I *completely* know the feeling! The last eps of S4 weren't out on DVD in the US back when I was watching, and I was a bit frantic. I ended up buying a multi-region DVD of dubious legality off ebay and buying the UK DVDs. ;)

[sugargroupie.livejournal.com]

I'm amused that we both have "extra" sets, though I'm sure we're not the only ones.

[50mm.livejournal.com]

I hope we aren't the only obsessive dedicated fans out there.

I was gonna offer to have Sid send my Season 4 box set to you instead of back home to me, but seems you have enough other options.

After it's all said and done, I do have a limited edition DVD interview from the Farscape con a few years back with Ben and Claudia onstage together for an hour answer questions, talking, laughing, REALLY great stuff. If/when you're ready for that (it's post all filming) I can send it to you, if you want it. (assuming it eventually comes home from where its at now)

*pounce/tackle/hugs*

I want a t-shirt now that says 'I KNOW PEOPLE ON THE INTERNETS'. When the chips are down, y'all rush in on white horses, or something.

I'd love to see that con panel; I think I've heard about it. No rush, though. And thank you.

[sid]

*waves* Yes, I forgot all about it due to the trauma with the doggie. I still have the box and can certainly forward it to Minxy (giving her all the rest of Season 4 plus PKW plus the con video).

Talk it over amongst yourselves and let me know. *ducks out of sight*

[duck-wrangler.livejournal.com]

Well Minxy, tell Sid and I what you want/need. She can send the kit and kaboodle to you or home to me and I can forward only what you need

Kit n kaboodle =
Season 4
Peace Keeper Wars DVD
Con DVD

Just let us know.

Sid - Obviously no hurry on my part, I've seen it all, so that's why I don't normally even bother with where it is. If Minxy wants it, on to her, if not, whenever you're done with it, slap the label on and send it on home.

[sid]

I'm done with it - twice over! *blushes*

[duck-wrangler.livejournal.com]

Don't blush, I must've watched 'em 4 times over before they hit the road

[lunachickk.livejournal.com]

No, you cannot skip those eps! Yay, for cool people to send you the eps!

[http://users.livejournal.com/_minxy_/]

*sets down paper bag and crawls into your lap*

The internets love me. I feel loved.

[alizarin-nyc.livejournal.com]

I love you loving Farscape. Get those eps! Watch those eps! Yay!!!

[http://users.livejournal.com/_minxy_/]

Is it love? Or is it a possibly inappropriate obsession? You be the judge.

I love the internets. The internets *provide*.

[fs-watch.livejournal.com]

I've been trying to purchase *new* s1 dvds for a friend to pimp her into the fandom, but it seems that it's out of print and everyone wants you to pay 200+ for them (I like my friend, but not quite that much).

Rerelease these pronto, Sci-Fi. really!

[http://users.livejournal.com/_minxy_/]

....Oh. That might explain it, actually!

[michare1a.livejournal.com]

Oy! Not cool <_<

[http://users.livejournal.com/_minxy_/]

But the internets, they love me. I had, what, four different people offer to send me extra sets? Love, man. That's love.
