    Honestly this is a nice feature for some kinds of shows. Sometimes I don’t want to watch a show from the beginning in order for certain kinds of shows. The only problem is this feature is coming as streaming services are fracturing and becoming less and less usable.

      Right, give me Seinfeld shows on random. TNG. Fucking early seasons of Family Guy. Community to an extent. So many sitcoms that you can really watch a random episode and be good to go. Sometimes it’s midnight and you’re too drunk to go to bed and don’t want to think about what you’re going to watch.

      Yeah one thing streaming has never been able to replicate is a shuffle mode. Pirating, I can just load everything into a VLC playlist and mix it

      yeah a ten minute script for your local media playershould be able to manage this.

      edit: or ‘shuffle’ I’m a fucking idiot. I’m literally using that for music right now.

      ya it seems like a no brainer for streaming services. not sure why it’s being poked fun at. if you dont like the feature you dont have to use it
