Come to Quark’s, Quark’s is Fun!

General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website. Trek-adjacent discussions, other sci-fi television, navigating the Fediverse, server meta (within reason), selling expired cases of Yamok sauce, it’s all fair game.

I got Prime for the shipping, so I won't cancel. If there is anything I really want to watch...🏴‍☠️

They’re getting your money anyway and you aren’t putting any load on their servers. I don’t think they mind.

Yeah, that was the point. The service I signed up for remains unchanged and I am still pleased with it. Prime Video was originally a quirky perk full of awful low budget content. If there is anything I like, I will pirate anyway because streaming services cannot be trusted to keep content available. So ultimately nothing has changed for myself or Amazon.

Other than The Boys and Wheel of Time, is there anything else worth watching on Prime?

PS: Never "buy" digital content with DRM. Buy physical media of the stuff you love. It supports the creators and it safeguards your purchase.

The Expanse is a great series.

I forgot about Expanse. Amazing series. Amos Burton is one of the best SciFi characters of all time.
