Netflix gets a little cooler

I know it's been out for a little while now, but I just tried the streaming service on Netflix tonight. It was pretty great. I have to hold out a little because my dsl at home is terrible and I was on their lowest of three levels for connectivity. So my picture wasn't that great and after 30 minutes or so I had to wait another 5 for the rest of the show to download, but still it was not bad.

I caught the first episode of Heroes in case you're wondering. I came late to the party and started watching shortly into the second season during the "Save the cheerleader, save the world" plot line. Which, by the way, was genius. That tagline was enough to finally get me to tune in. Now I'm starting back at the beginning to see what I missed while I wait for the writers strike to end and new episodes to start up again.

And while on the subject, the studios need to pull their heads out of their collective butts and give the writers their additional % for dvd sales and their internet residuals. Lamers.
