Ditto. My wife and I rented the entire 6 discs for season two of 24 (3
from
Netflix and 3 from instore Blockbuster rentals) before we watched the
first
episode.
I'm waiting for the final disc of Battlestar Galactica, Season 3, right
now.
I'm hoping Starbuck gets a prefrontal lobotomy and spends the rest of the
series baking cookies barefoot.
