Behind the Times

Back in December, I had a quiet, passive-aggressive argument with my lady, so I retreated to my man cave.  In the interest of finding something to do for a couple hours, I started going through the netflix catalog, and decided to watch Sons of Anarchy.  I think I watched four episodes that night, and was hooked.  The next night, I made my way downstairs and put in the fifth episode.  My girlfriend started watching with me at that point, and was hooked.  We got through the first seasons on Netflix and then were left with a conundrum.  Do we pirate the fourth season, get it from PSN, or Zune Marketplace on XBox or Apple TV or stream it through Amazon?  Waiting until it's released on DVD and netflix streaming was not an option.   I ended up getting it on XBox, more or less through convenience.  I was just trying to pull it up to see how much the season was.  It was there, the entire fourth season one button click away, so I did it. 

What a fantastic show.  Between that and SWTOR, I haven't played but maybe a half hour of Xbox in the last 6 weeks.  

My salesguy at work tells me I need to watch Breaking Bad, so I wonder if a new streaming addiction is about to form.

Love SOA. Have not seen the 4th season though. I like Breaking Bad even more. Two great shows.

Often times we find ourselves in the same situatoin. We'll find a new TV show watch what's on Netflix and then there's often a season gap between what's on netflix and what's on TV . It happened with Weeds and is going to happen now with White Collar and there have been other instances too. Usually i hit HuLu Plus to see if it's there first, they've bridged that gap a few times for me.

I caught up on Game of Thrones by the time the season finale ended there. I have Walking Dead Season 1 on Blu-Ray and a bunch of season 2 on the DVR, so I'm ready to go on those as well. Will be going to Breaking Bad next.
