We have only the one service, Prime, and that's only because we buy so much. Xavier Breath Sep 2023 #6

I followed the Wikipedia link to that episode, and nothing about it seems even remotely familiar. Over the years, I should have seen it at least once. I’ll have see if I remember by watching again. I think I would have remembered if I’d watched the pilot episode, but I think I came in after a couple had already aired.

That's right: free tv, just like the four series that followed it. But, no more. Fuck you, Paramount, you greedy bastards.

Sorry, this is my second Star Trek rant today in this forum

Yeah, I get to watch the original five series on the H&I channel and MeTV, thankfully.

I know that there’s a whole bunch of series. I know the original when I see it, but as for the rest, I don’t know which one is which.

I’m sure you’ve tried all your streaming services.

And good evening.

But, it does get me Thursday Night Football, so that's something.

I could explain to you all about the five broadcast series and offer deep analysis on why I have the opinion on each that I do, but you had me at "I'm not Star Trek fan."

You have a good one as well.
