    Jesus Christ, at this point people that pay to stream are like the renters that pay to rent a couch for years rather than just buy one. You’re paying far more than if you just bought outright. Not even accounting for natasha yar har har

      I’m glad physical media is starting to make a comeback. I know people who kept Netflix for well over 5 years just for friends “so they could watch it whenever they wanted”. Never thought about buying the discs. “They’re so expensive”.

      120 for all the seasons forever, or (at the time) 14 a month for 5 years, which is $840. I’m sure there were other things to watch time to time, but shit adds up folks. Just go buy the blurays of TNG

        I’ll do you one better, my local library has plenty of disc sets for series. They have a lot of the ones usually locked behind additional subscriptions too.
