You might be right, given what Gaal and Hari were planning. It'll be interesting to see!

I only got into Lower Decks and Strange New Worlds. It's been interesting--I was very into TOS when I was a kid (it had a rerun phase on Sci-Fi Channel--remember when they used to do different themed TV marathons every weekday?), but haven't really re-watched it much as an adult apart from some of the movies. I've watched a tiny bit of DS9 and TNG but not that much. Still, it's enough to get a decent number of the references.

They actually released the full series on Blu-Ray (which is getting rarer, booo), so I've got that and my spouse and I have been watching through it since she didn't watch it with me when I did the first run.

I know--and the thing that extra annoys me is that we all know they can capriciously pull it off their platform and make it unavailable. They think they can rake in the money of subscriptions forever, but realistically, I think it just encourages piracy when you refuse to make things available legit.

I love Star Trek Beyond. For me, it's the movie that really gets the Star Trek formula the best. We want you to throw various configurations of characters into a situation and see how they solve it creatively!

Oh and also--you miss out on behind the scenes stuff mostly! The Lower Decks Blu-Ray set has a bunch of cool ones. I was just watching the one from S2 where they talked about the sound design of the show, which was fascinating!
