Update: Atlantis on iTunes? Y!

Stargate Atlantis Season 5 will be on iTunes after all.

W00t, I say, w00t.

According to the article, MGM--not NBC or SciFi--owns the rights and distribution of Stargate Atlantis and therefore doesn't give a crap what NBC does. And since MGM sees fit to distribute on a system that supports Macs and doesn't mysteriously delete downloads, MGM will be getting some $$ from me.

Obviously, I debated the wisdom of paying for a show twice--on iTunes and then later on DVD--but once I figured out that buying a season pass to every show I'm interested in seeing was *still* significantly cheaper than the cable bill we no longer have, I didn't feel so bad about it.

Of course, according to Nielson this means that I don't watch any television at all, despite the fact that I actually pay money for the express purpose of seeing specific shows, but that's a rant for another day. Now, I'm just happy to be able to buy convenience. :)
