Hey, I'm Friginator. Have Questions? Comments? Possibly a subpoena? Let it be known here. Note that my comments are italicized and bulleted. Why? Because it pleases me. It pleases me in a filthy, filthy way. So deal with it.

STOP STRIKING ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm trying to think about my edits — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheMetallican (talk • contribs) 01:12, 25 June 2012 (UTC)

• Well, you're blocked indefinitely now, so I guess you have all the time in the world to think about them. And how they in no way improved the quality of this site. Friginator (talk) 01:30, 25 June 2012 (UTC)

• UPDATE: I know your above account can't respond to this, but that was one hell of a show you put on. After being blocked, you created not one, not two, not three, but at least sixteen different sockpuppet accounts, and edited from over two dozen IPs. That's some impressive block evasion. Of course, they're almost all blocked, and the situation is being dealt with, but for my own convenience I think I'll list them all here:

• That's a LOT of effort you put into violating policy. Bravo. I wish I could focus so much energy on the little things like you can. Friginator (talk) 23:06, 1 October 2012 (UTC)

MST3K Home VIdeo Availability

"Redundant--There's no point in listing every on-demand service that streams the show over and over."

Please do not remove the information on home video availability of MST3K episodes. The information about which video services the episodes can be purchased from is not redundant, since it wasn't listed before. The added listings for Amazon Instant Video and Vudu are not "listing every on-demand service that streams the show over and over." Each episode is marked only with the service or services that sell that episode individually. This is the purpose of the "Home Video Availability" column in the list, and purchasing the show this way is in no way different from buying a DVD. Amazon and Vudu are the publishers of these episodes, just like Rhino, Shout!, etc., are the publishers of the DVD versions. Not every episode available on DVD is available to purchase from these publishers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.228.233.195 (talk) 07:14, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

• The On-Demand services that offer episodes of the show get them from the distributor of the physical DVDs (Shout! Factory). There isn't a single episode offered from Amazon, Netflix, Hulu or any other similar service that hasn't already been made available on home video in a physical format. That's what I mean by "redundant." I feel I should also point out that streaming a film over the internet is arguably not the same as owning it on "home video". Honestly, I'm wondering if we even need a column for "Home Video Availability" in the article, considering two things: First, it borders on WP:FANCRUFT by providing information mainly of interest to the show's existing fanbase and not the general public (this policy is frequently ignored by editors of MST3K articles), and second, there's already this article that covers that exact subject subject (in a ridiculous, un-encyclopedic, obsessive-compulsive fanboy-ish manner). But I digress. Also, please remember to sign your posts. Cheers. Friginator (talk) 20:44, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

*A couple of points: 1) By your logic, none of the DVD releases should be listed in this column if they had a previous VHS release. That would be inconsistent with the format of this column and the information it provides. The column is clearly not a simple "Yes" or "No" field: it tells you what format each home video release has seen. Although all the episodes for sale online have been released in some physical format before, not all of the previously released DVDs have made to online sales, so no, it is not redundant information. If you feel like all online sales should be conflated into a single term, that's reasonable. Constantly removing the information isn't. 2) "I feel I should also point out that streaming a film over the internet is arguably not the same as owning it on "home video". " You are wrong. Purchasing a movie from an online vendor ensures that you own it for the purposes of viewing it at your home. Furthermore, describing these as "streaming" services is a mischaracterization. These services allow you to download the film and watch it any time you wish. It is a different format but it still constitutes home video ownership and availability under any definition of the term. The title of the column is not "physical media releases."

You may not see the purpose of this table or column but other users do. Please leave people who actually use this site add useful information instead of defacing it.
