    Sucks to see Paramount mismanage the brand over and over again.

    But, hey, I still got the 90’s shows on disc, so they can’t take that from me.

      Take my love, take my land
      Take me where I cannot stand
      I don’t care, I’m still free
      You can’t take Star Trek from me

      Lost my love, lost my land
      Lost the last place I could stand
      There’s no place I can be
      Since I’ve found the NCC

      And you can’t take Star Trek from me

      This is why they will not release the 90s shows on 4k BluRay. They don’t want anyone to actually own copies.

        They dont want people to own anything.

        They want you to pay 10/month, then $12/month, then $16/month, then $22/month, on and on forever instead.

          They’re following Rule of Acquisition number 10: Greed is eternal.

          Why have your money once when they can have it forever?

            They convinced young gamers that this is Business As Usual. SaaS should never have bled into consumer goods. It’s a scourge.

        I’m guessing it’s got more to do with the cost of rescanning and upscaling footage for shows that don’t have mass appeal.

      Giving Lower Decks five full seasons was more than I expected, tbh.

      And Discovery’s last season was decent. Strange New Worlds has held up. They could be doing better, but they’ve been a lot worse.

      I can’t wait for Disney to buy the franchise and we can finally have the Star Trek/Star Wars crossover that we all deserved.

      Remember when they wanted to have new Star Trek come out every week of the year? Ah, that was a nice idea
