the only way to watch tv shows the way they were meant to be watched is through DVDs isn't it? I keep hearing of tv shows that netflix has made major editing/aspect ratio/music changes, once again cementing netflix as my archnemesis. yes I'm pedantic, it's my only talent

#I remember trying to watch tos on netflix once and #well first of all they had the og unaired pilot listed as the first episode which #kirk isn't even in that episode imagine how confusing that is for general audiences #it just heightens the barrier of entry because you would watch the first episode and then the second is kind of a completely different cast?#and then they also changed the aspect ratio from 4:3 to 16:9 #which is just? inconvievable to me???#you basically end up with a bunch of shit cropped out #and I've heard of other shows where netflix didn't bother getting the rights to the music #so they just replaced the songs??#as if the songs are just interchangeable and the creators don't put crazy amounts of thought into the song choices??#and watching the (initial release) dvds is probably the only way you can guarantee you are getting the viewing experience as intended #(besides watching as they air obviously)#because streaming makes it so easy for shows to be altered without the viewer having any idea #and i guess that just doesn't sit right with me #so anyways i guess if you are able to then buy dvds of your favorite shows and movies because there's no guarantee they'll be there #and if they are there's no guarantee they'll be the version the creators intended for you to watch
