F you Paramount Plus!
Added 2024-08-29 01:34:36 +0000 UTCWe watch the shows on box sets that Josh owns, but thanks to James B, I have the TOS and TAS box sets! Now, I’m so gah damn sick of paramount plus that I bought the TNG box set for myself to rewatch The Bonding over and over again without ads!

Season 3 and 4 of Discovery are the worst

2024-09-01 08:32:59 +0000 UTC@Kiel - If GabeN was in charge of Star Trek these days, I bet we'd all be a lot happier. That dude knows how to give people what they want.

2024-08-31 01:37:47 +0000 UTCI had to do that exact thing with my TNG box set I bought many years ago, which is absurd. My parents bought each season of TNG individually 20+ years ago, and im pretty sure each one was like $80 back then. They are the best ones I have ever seen though. Glad you got a good one for TOS.

2024-08-31 01:35:55 +0000 UTCYeah Paramount plus is probably almost as bad as patreon as far as the UI goes

2024-08-30 02:28:22 +0000 UTCI have it through Amazon Prime Video and while it's not great, it's still a much better interface than the one on the dedicated service.

2024-08-30 01:15:30 +0000 UTCActually in their filing with Paramount they say exactly the opposite of this. They state they want to take the technology of Daddies Oracle and make the App browser work more effectively, And that they intend to keep the streaming side. Now Paramount already has reversed it course and has been licensing out some of the catalogue, just not a huge amount of it. Have first run on Paramount +, then license the older seasons before a new one would air on Paramount Plus. See things like Criminal Minds, and Evil. Giving you the best of both options. But have yet to do this with what is their marque titles on streaming. Which Criminal Minds and Evil are not, as just two examples. Now they can of course over the next year change plans as they get more and more details about the company and how it's been performing during the purchase stage. But legally any filing is supposed to reflect their beliefs in the moment.

2024-08-29 21:04:04 +0000 UTCGabe was right. It's a service issue and not a money issue. When I look at my paid steam library and compare against what's sitting in my meticulously structured media folders, it's pretty clear which industry practices have produced what natural habits.
#MaxwellDidNothingWrong
2024-08-29 19:56:43 +0000 UTCThis is the way. Whether you sail the seven seas or go DVD, physically possessing your media is absolutely critical.

2024-08-29 19:54:26 +0000 UTCI could not get through the first episode of Discovery. They can't PAY ME enough to watch that shit.

2024-08-29 19:23:48 +0000 UTCI have the P+ content as a channel on Prime Video - it's tremendously superior to the dogsh*t app/stream that P+ offers.
Matt Newmark
2024-08-29 18:39:43 +0000 UTCSupport physical media!
Frank Tagader
2024-08-29 16:22:09 +0000 UTCMy 50th anniversary set for TOS is great, but the TNG one is horrendous. Would be better off putting all the disks in one of those zip-up cases with the plastic sleeves
Josh (Target Audience)
2024-08-29 14:19:50 +0000 UTCI have subbed and un-subbed to P+ so many times and hope it's improved when I do. But nope...still dog shit.
s0rd3z
2024-08-29 13:58:07 +0000 UTCAgree 👍..I never have issues with P+ once I actually get the show to play that I’m actually trying to watch..
Glenn Johnson Barnes
2024-08-29 13:55:54 +0000 UTCI don't have any issues with Paramount Plus. A brief ad runs at the very beginning, which I can immidiately skip.
David Crabtree
2024-08-29 13:46:56 +0000 UTCSad thing is, most box sets that are made are total dogshit. Every one that I own has the disks falling out of it's spot any time I pick it up. It's seriously pathetic that Paramount (or whoever pays for these to be made) doesn't care enough about Star Trek or it's fans to make a decent box set that is sturdy and well made. That's why I just pay for a VPN and download all of the episodes and never need another box set again. Piracy for the win boys.

2024-08-29 09:06:45 +0000 UTCI added Paramount plus to my YouTube premium it's the only way that you can possibly get through Paramount plus and not have a bad time

THE Fans
2024-08-29 07:30:25 +0000 UTCIf the rumors are true, you won't have to have P+ to kick around too much longer. Supposedly, Skydance is going to shut it down and license out the content to other streamers.
Ron
2024-08-29 07:12:52 +0000 UTCI thought even "ad free" still played a promo for a Paramount Plus show ahead of the show I was trying to watch.
Paul Patine
2024-08-29 06:12:17 +0000 UTCI have no issue with Paramount Plus outside of the one episode of Picard that was released with his color contrast dialed way up. Thankfully they released the corrected version. And I don't get ads, because I pay not to have them.
Mark Wood
2024-08-29 05:02:22 +0000 UTCYeah I have never subscribed to a service with ads. For me that kind of defeats the purpose of what I loved about purchasing or having access to watch at my convenience. I don't think I have watched a real tv ad in over ten years.
Mark Wood
2024-08-29 04:59:54 +0000 UTCYeah the claim shells absolutely suck. Exceedingly easy to ruin a disc or 5. And I do try to get physical copies (and over 55 plus years it's been often many multiple copies....).
Mark Wood
2024-08-29 04:58:37 +0000 UTCP+ has such crappy UI. GET WITH THE PROGRAM PARAMOUNT.

2024-08-29 04:53:58 +0000 UTCParamount has worked decent for me. Apparently I'm the only one.
Greg Quinn
2024-08-29 04:20:17 +0000 UTCSo I use chrome and ad blockers and it blocks the paramount ads great. I forgot paramount had ads before I watched it on my Chromecast. Lol
Eric Wilson
2024-08-29 03:29:54 +0000 UTCI stream from Paramount plus, sadly lol. Ads, slow player, etc...
Paul
2024-08-29 03:00:08 +0000 UTCThat being said I like to own the physical media as well
Steve the greeeen hand
2024-08-29 02:47:49 +0000 UTCYou can get ad free right ? I don’t think mine has ads
Steve the greeeen hand
2024-08-29 02:47:24 +0000 UTCIf it's worth owning it's worth OWNING. Glad you got those sets. Timeless. Not a fan of the flimsy chunky clamshells so I repackaged mine. Been watching Trek ~44yrs, here's hoping we all get 44 more ... or more!

James Bottas
2024-08-29 02:06:38 +0000 UTCAlways thankful for physical media. I get to buy my Treks, once, maybe twice, and I can watch the artform comfortably knowing I'm not bankrolling more of their utter garbage content.
Nolan
2024-08-29 01:57:38 +0000 UTCI signed up for P+ via Prime - that way I can cancel more easily and prime runs 99¢ for 2-months deals every now and again for various channels (it's easy to get a channel for a month, cancel, get a different one for a month). I've not had any sync problems via prime.

2024-08-29 01:54:05 +0000 UTCStreaming is OK for new content & convenience or on the go viewing, but long term, physical media is the best
Retro Tom
2024-08-29 01:42:54 +0000 UTCI want to catch up with the most recent seasons of trek...but I really don't want to sign up to P+...
AC C
2024-08-29 01:38:18 +0000 UTCParamount plus player is horrendous. Quite possibly the worst of all the streaming services.
Dabo Master
2024-08-29 01:37:25 +0000 UTCQuite possibly the best ad for and against paramount plus.
