I'm not allowed to watch Star Trek any more

He'll flip ya...Flip ya for real...
well I was sad because I think Morrus likes Star Trek about as much as I do and wanted him to be able to enjoy it the same as me.
Maybe I confused you. Morrus had Trek as part of his netflix, but in U.S. we didnt. I was happy he had it, but now he doesnt. :(

WoT never appealed to me for some reason. (See also GoT.)

I haven't read the WoT, because of what I'd heard about how the books were written - very long, and getting slow after only a few volumes.

I'm looking forward to the series, hoping that, with the full story at hand, they can pick, choose, and edit it into a good narrative.

Even stuff I ought to be all over, like The Grand Tour, didn’t draw me to watch anything on Prime.

Two things to get on Prime: Upload, and Leverage.

Me too.

Also, The Expanse!

I was happy for Morrus because this came up in a thread. In U.S. we couldn't watch it on Netflix. Had to have Paramount+ where you get all the best programming like NCIS, NCIS L.A., NCIS New Orleans, and Rockford files :rolleyes:
Hey, don't forget nuHawaii 5.0, nuMagnum P.I., Blue Bloods, and Seal Team!!!

I liked Expanse as a broadcast/cable show. Ditto Evil, The Orville and several other productions.

Thing is, I have enough stuff to watch on broadcast/cable TV without paying for the various streaming services, or even using Prime. Besides, I spend enough time on computers/tablets/phones as things are without adding watching TV on them.*.

Yes, it’s probably an exercise in futility resisting the trend, but I do that a lot. I don’t use streaming services for music, either. I buy CDs. When they die, I’ll stop buying music.





* I do have a few broadcasters’ apps on my tablet for when the cable goes out, and I need to watch something like local news for the weather reports,
 


Yeah, it sucks. Especially because they do the idiotic thing and take back the show from Netflix shortly before the new season starts, but the service will only be available months later.
I still remember the olden days, when we had to wait half a year or more than that before a US show arrived in Germany. But the internet and certain ... distributed decentralized backup platforms already existed. Apparently CBS doesn't believe that we can learn from the past.

yeah, sorry I did get confused. I was less concerned about the how and more about the sudden lack of Star Trek in Morrus' life.
