Actually I'm the idiot. I apologize to my buddy who was referring to SG-1. 
Talked to Amazon and they said they are working on it and gave me a $3 credit, so I'm happy as a clam.

Agreed. Did I mention how annoyed I was that Stargate: SG-1 and FarScape were unceremoniously dropped?

Or if your desperate and don't mind spending $20, you can buy/stream season 2 off Amazon Instant video in SD.

Amazing that you are one of the very very few people who enjoyed season 1 without shitting on it. I liked it too, but it got shit on like crazy because of the finale.

I would keep a lookout for a possible marathon on AMC prior to season 3 starting. Season 3 will start sometime this summer.

There doesn't seem to be a Notable Google Play thread, so I'll just stick this here. For the store's birthday today they're offering a bunch of TV episodes for free, a mix of older and new stuff.

There's some good stuff on there. (Justified, Happy Endings, Community, Monty Python)

Wired has a huge article on Netflix. It focuses mostly on the upcoming Arrested Development show, creating original content, how they choose titles, and their streaming business in general. Lots of interesting stuff. It's too big to post here, so check it out at Wired:

Here's some excerpts:
http://www.wired.com/underwire/2013/03/netflix/
Here's some excerpts:
(Netflix) outbid Showtime for the right to revive the show; it agreed to pay about $3 million per 30-minute episode, about as much as it costs AMC to make an entire hour of Breaking Bad. In May Netflix will release all 14 new episodes of Arrested Development at once.
Three times as many Americans subscribe to Netflix’s streaming service as to its DVD-by-mail offering, and about 70 percent of what they watch is television. Overall, 33 million subscribers stream more than a billion hours of Netflix content every month, using one-third of peak US bandwidth to do so.
Netflix loses money every time it converts a DVD renter into a streamer. Thanks to the high cost of licensing content and delivering streams, Netflix makes a profit of just about $4 per quarter off each US streaming customer, versus about $15 from every DVD subscriber.
Netflix is investing about $300 million in original programming over the next three years, 5 percent of its $6 billion content budget for that period.

24 of Akira Kurosawa's films are available for streaming on Hulu all weekend, free, with commercials. Hulu+ subscribers can watch them all ad-free.
If I have time, I might check out one or two...
