Is anyone else on the board addicted to it? seriously it is one of the best things since the features.

Yep, I'm on the Netflix train now. I used to never watch movies; now I watch them all the time. It's so easy. And let's just say I'm...getting my money's worth.

I can only have one obsession at a time.

Current Obsession:
Lost

Arrr....ye scurvy seadog!

No, not that. I just watch and return them very promptly.

Keith, I need to go on this obsessive LOST journey with you. Even my mom, who watches the show regularly, is getting annoyed with my fixation.

it's another take off of lord of the flies! But everyone's watching because they're curious of what's going to happen.

I've thought about getting obsessed with that show as well. I saw a couple of episodes on television and liked them. However, I knew it would be easier if I waited until it came out on DVD.

Also, I like My Name Is Earl.

I do, too. I've been a member since I moved less than a month ago and I've watched about 12 discs so far. This means a) I'm really getting my money's worth and I've never been more miserably lonely in my whole entire life.

I'm also on The Lost bandwagon. I enjoyed watching the premiere via telephone with Keith, JC, Miss9, richarddawson, and paulfreaksmeout last night.

Every Wednesday, 8pm, my house, be there.

My Name Is Earl was definitely all I thought it would be. It was charming and funny and I think it'll get even better as the season progresses.

This has to be one of the best season's for new shows in a while. "Threshold" was pretty good, even if it may dip into episodic plots, it still has a cool cast. "How I Met Your Mother" is definitely the biggest surprise of the season. A traditional, laugh tracked sitcom that...is actually funny with a nice premise. Whoah....where'd that come from? "Kitchen Confidential" has a lot of promise and, of course, I love the cast. "Invasion" was last night and I think this has the potential to be this year's "Lost"...if they don't fall of course.

Tonight's "Everybody Hates Chris." I'm excited about it.

I've joined Netflix recently and have been using it to nerd up on all of the Star Trek offshoots I missed out on. If anyone would like some fun listening, I'd recommend downloading the "Enterprise" theme song. It was written by Diane Warren(wrote a lot for Michael Bolton, Celine Dion, Aerosmith, etc).

I was flipping around the movie channels a few weeks ago and noticed the song playing over the end credits of Patch Adams, except it was by Rod Stewart. As you probably guessed, I got pretty mad at the TV for sneaking that up on me.

Enterprise was such a weird show. It was obviously meant to try and duplicate the original series' formula, albeit with varying degrees of success.
You had the cowboy captain, the condescending Vulcan and the droll southerner. I guess they merged Spock and parts of Uhura, into a woman Vulcan to get the token female. They also merged Scotty and McCoy to get a miracle working engineer with a dry wit. Sulu was replaced by a female translator who got the remainder of the Uhura role and became the token Asian. And the show also featured "the black guy" and "the British guy."

The first two seasons were just the standard flying around in space with some new situation popping up every week. Season three was one big storyline and maybe the best of the four. Season four they scrapped the mega-arc and went to two and three episode storylines and put an uber-geek in charge, who did funny things like tie Data's origin into Khan's and actually explaining why Klingon's didn't have forehead ridges on the original series.

Yes, I walk a fine line between geek and nerd.

Data's origin into Kahn's?!? Explaining forehead ridges?!? I'm only on the first disc of season 2.

Nah, I was just kidding about the Khan thing. It's explained that Data is an incarnation of the Andorian god of wisdom, and that Lor is the god of chaos. It's kind of obvious that the Andorian gods are just versions of the Norse gods Odin and Loki. B4 is never mentioned but I assume he is an incarnation of a retarded child.

as far as television obsession goes, i'm all about 'seinfeld'. i haven't gotten into the 'lost' thing yet. my mom and sister are crazy addicted to the show and i dont want to get sucked into it as well- predicting what will happen and whatnot. i much rather go for a show about nothing. 'the office' is good too...

Meh. Quit trying to de-nerd this thread with talk of that hipster show.

'seinfeld' or 'the office' ? or both?

is 'lost' nerdy?? i thought its what all the cool kids watch...

I was referring to Lost as the hipster show.

Lost has brought my family together. My grandma and mom are just as bad about it as I am. Do hipsters love their families?

only if they wear mothball smelling sweaters and so bad they are fashionable shoes.

Evidently, your mom and grandma are also hipsters.

its all making sense now...
