Still, what they decide to send can be annoying. I have the first disk
of Connections 2 at the top of my queue and listed as avalible, yet
they've sent 7 disks listed below it so far. Maybe if I remove
everything from the queue but that series...

Possibly because either he wants to watch the pilot to see if the show
is something he'd like, or he feels that the series is worth ~$10 (half
a month's rentals on Netflix) but not what buying the show would cost.
