Doctor Who and the Chainsaw

Netflix queue screenshot - click to see it larger Hey, remember that episode of Doctor Who where there was a guy with a chainsaw chopping off some legs? You don't? Well, obviously you haven't see the Netflix version of disc 1 of the new season 2 set. A glitch in manufacturing resulted in the disc being half DW, half Texas Chainsaw Massacre - The Beginning. Netflix's copies are specially branded "for rental only," so those who actually shelled out money for the set needn't worry. BBC America is aware of the problem and are supposedly taking steps to get it corrected. The TVShowsOnDVD article goes on to say that disc 1 has been removed from Netflix's site, but it still shows as "short wait" in my queue.

All things considered, I'm glad I started with the bonus disc (since I've already seen the episodes on SciFi) instead of disc 1. They could have sent it to me yesterday, but because of the wait, I ended up with MI-5 season 4 (which I haven't seen, save episode #1) instead.

I happened to be a lucky recipient of one of those disks. Makes you question your sanity when the show switches gears to a particularly gory part of some movie I'd never seen. I hate horror movies, which is a little ironic given that the episode of Dr. Who it truncated was very zombie esque.
