As far as my Netflix watching:

Nothing. I think I've watched everything on Netflix. Twice. So I hope they update their catalog soon! If I keep seeing the same recommendations for things I have already watched, I am going to stab myself in the face with a fork.

And then do it again.
Yes, I agree about both the fork X2, and that Fringe is better. I toggle between both Netflix & Amazon, to lesson the desire for the fork.

You got me thinking about the cliffhanger trend. That is so true. Having come from a childhood of enjoying programs like (some of them re-runs) Little House on the Prairie,
Andy Griffith, Magnum PI, Simon & Simon, The Waltons etc, current American television shows tend to bring on a bit of stress.

*Small rant*

For me, that would be acceptable, if there was some guarantee of closure to a final season cliffhanger, when they cancel a series. I seriously feel that the FCC should make this a law. People invest time in 40 minute television series over several seasons, which for those who watch on cable, include 20 minutes of repetitive commercials (don't do the math of how much time you spend watching commercials while watching cable, because the fork desire will increase), and there should be some fucking consideration for their loyalty as viewers.

*End rant*

One of the big reasons I enjoy streaming so much, is that I can wait until there are several seasons of a show available, and I then I don't have to wait to find out what happens next (until I get to the end of the last available season).
