Just a reminder to use your local library, they'll often have plenty of movies and TV shows to rent either at a very low price or fully free. Perfect complement for the seven seas

Currently exploring my options, thinking of switching to Tuta. It sucks because I literally just paid for a Proton annual plan, looking if I can cancel it and get (part of) my money back...

What are you surprised that people pay for, when there are free alternatives in existence? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

As a library assistant, I second that message

Another advantage that I just thought about : Shelf consistency

How to get DS9 and VOY on Blu-ray (startrek.website)
 

Since remastered versions of DS9 and VOY aren't happening any time soon, I think the next best thing should be a SD-BD release, kinda like how Discotek Media are doing with some old anime titles

The advantages :

  • Better video quality, since higher bitrate
  • Better audio quality compared to DVDs
  • More episodes per disc

What would you think about such a release?

TOS/TAS "best-of" recommendations (startrek.website)
 

This fall I'm planning to watch the Star Trek TOS movies with some friends on discord, as well as a few episodes of TOS/TAS to introduce the characters/setting/etc. So basically I'm searching for recommendations for episodes to watch

The episodes I'm already planning :

  • Space Seed (since we'll be watching Wrath of Khan)
  • The City on the Edge of Forever
  • Yesteryear

If you have more episodes recommendations, I'd love to hear about them 😁
