SO I'M REWATCHING LIFE ON MARS, IS MY POINT.
Okay, so like, I am equally INCREDIBLY EXCITED and FEELING INCREDIBLY STUPID at the time same.
Back in January, when I raced through Life On Mars, I figured that I would a) definitely want to watch all of this again; and b) didn't have the space on my laptop to accommodate keeping both seasons + whatever else I'd want (namely: all of Doctor Who Season 4, etc.). So, I decided to burn the series to two DVDs - i.e., on my COMPUTER, using the DVD as A STORAGE DEVICE rather than a multimedia thing.
Fast forward to June 29, 2008: GUESS WHO JUST DISCOVERED THAT HER DVD PLAYER IS SOPHISTICATED ENOUGH TO READ AFOREMENTIONED DVDS?
Translation: I CAN WATCH LIFE ON MARS ON MY TELEVISION.
Translation: I COULD WATCH ANYTHING BASICALLY EVERYTHING THAT I'VE BEEN STORING ON DVDS ON MY TELEVISION, NAMELY SPOOKS, WIRE IN THE BLOOD, PRIDE AND PREJUDICE, AND TOUCHING EVIL AMERICAN STYLE.
I'm sure 75% of you are LOLing at me right now, but let's face it - I thought my DVD player was, uh, pretty stupid. And not this ~*sophisticated*~. IN OTHER WORDS, I THOUGHT IT WAS CHEAP.
edit: Holy crap, it's good quality, too! \o/
