I have not once said that I think this is illegal. My point is that as an American who is being excluded from seeing it on a service I have, while they are showing it on that same service
Its not just CBS. Disney, Marvel, HBO, Google and others are attempting to split some of the marketshare away from Netflix and Amazon. They don't know how to do it, because people do not want commercials and also want all of the movies in one place. Netflix has a lot of market bargaining power. They can tell you what your show is worth to them and take it or leave it. This means that Netflix is killing the market, and eventually when the other players are thinner the price for Netflix will go way up. Notice that Netflix has started producing its own material? Its trying to replace CBS and all the rest, and eventually it can if things continue.
True. No one is going to die. But, for the true fans, hardcore "Trekies" the waiting will be torture. And the knowledge that the rest of the world can see it on the same, pay service we already pay for, just not us, is just leaving a really bad taste in my mouth. SHAME on CBS. SHAME!
I would prefer to see it back on regular television. Commercials are fine. Netflix has had original content for a long time. The other stuff is dated, but fun to binge anyway. The pay to see, is the same as HBO, SHOWTIME, etc. I know the bottom line is profit. Money is God in this country, regardless of what anyone claims.
Well we all now know where Lore's head went.. . The marketing department at CBS.I miss Data.He could probably fix this.
Yes, the loss of Gene was a terrible thing. Then, when we lost Majel it was devastating. But, the dream goes on, as do their memories and visions as long as we fans keep them alive.
No one is asking for free lobsters - some of us prefer commercials to paying cash. If a business does not want to listen to the voice of consumers believing it knows better, I'm free to find another lobster vendor that will serve me a delicious plate after 5 minutes of watching grease being destroyed, hair being mangled and pills curing whatever you have if you don't get sick from them.
THAT is a classic. I might steal that quote to use elsewhere
We don't always get what we prefer.
When something, like Star Trek, is your favorite series of all time, and then it gets jumbled up with this kind of nasty, slimy, greed driven market manipulation, it kind of is one of those things.
Yes indeed!This must be said....
I sympathize.
Like religion, politics and bacon, of course.
No, religion isn't worthy of getting anyone upset.
Sometimes wish for a positronic brain, with the ability to turn of the emotion chip.
It's been rampant in the video game industry for a while now. It's just pathetic and sad to see it's gone this far out of control throughout other media as well.
Well, I was being a little facetious. I am not a fan of TV.
