Netflix is just skipping intro for you.

No intro to skip in Lost (it's just 5-10 seconds of the show title against a black screen).

That's been the trend for dramas basically ever since-- Lost was among the first to adopt the minimal intro that's popular now. Stargate even made a joke out of it in one of their later episodes.

Really? Weird. Usually if it skips the intro it plays the entire intro the first time you play it after not playing it for a while. It never does that for me.

At any rate... the Netflix skipped intro is how it should be done. Thank god for Netflix.
