Alien Abduction
Check out this chronology of my attempt to watch Gerry Anderson's UFO.
Early October - October 17: Listen to one of my friends continually talk about his experiences watching the series.
October 18: I finally break down and put Disks 1 and 2 of the complete series into my Netflix queue.
October 19: Great luck! Two of my previous discs have been returned. Now Disc 1 and 2 of UFO are set to ship to me.
October 20: I Receive Disk 2. Disk 1 is listed as not being available at my Netflix facility. The website claims it will ship from another facility on the following day, for estimated receipt on 10/24.
October 21-23: I experience emotions -- emotions ranging from boredom, anger, and despair -- all waiting for Monday to come. Disc 2 remains on my mantle unwatched.
October 24: I come home from work, and find the new disc is here! But the in-laws are in for the evening, so I don't get a chance to open it.
October 25: I throw Disc 1 in before work hoping watched thethe opening credits for kicks. The disk doesn't play. It's cracked. I report the problem to Netflix. They will ship the replacement disc from another facility the for shipment on the following day.
October 26 - ?: I wait and wait and wait, while Disc 2 of UFO taunts me, unwatched.
I've heard the warnings about Netflix, but I failed to heed them.
Actually I'm not angry at all. Just one of those things I'm sure. I get most of my actual Netflix blogging from Netflix Fan and Netflix Hacks. I know they are the top ones out of Google's search, but they're the one's I read. I'll probably get around to finding some more individual-based blogs on Netflix sooner or later.
