Netflix Box annoyance: A nearly complete fifth season of Weeds

So, I've got one of those Netflix boxes where you can stream movies and TV shows to your TV. Mostly, it's pretty awesome. The offerings grow by the day and it's super convenient when you're in the mood to watch something between DVD shipments.

But here's the annoying thing: Often with TV series, the Box will leave out an episode here or there, saying that it's not available via streaming. I'm not sure what the point is. So you'll have to rent the DVD to see those eps? How does this pencil out to Netflix's or the movie/TV studio's benefit? I don't get it.

But it is obnoxious when you get all excited about watching the latest season of "Weeds" on the box and learn that the opening episode is only available on disk.

I'm looking forward to the day when everything's on the box and DVDs are a remnant of the past.
