I was quite happy when my Brother-in-Law decided, as part of reducing his collection of DVDs, to send me all 5 seasons of Babylon 5, something I've wanted for a while, but could never justify the price. Also gave us Firefly, which I'd been meaning to rewatch. I wasn't QUITE so thrilled that he sent it as part of several full boxes of stuff, most of which we had no interest in, without asking in advance whether that would be OK. But now many of my and my wife's co-workers, and a few people from church, are grateful to us for handing out scads of free DVDs (didn't feel right trying to sell them, since I got them free, plus selling is a hassle).
Babylon 5 and Firefly are both great.

Something like that happened to me. A friend from church got a few boxes of DVDs and BDs. He took what he wanted, passed them on to his in-laws (also friends from church) and they gave me everything left (which was still a lot because they don't necessarily "collect" movies). I took a lot, but I did add a small stack to a pile I intend to trade in for credit the next time I go to FYE.

Anyway, there's a good chance I'd have a lot of them. I'm approaching 2,000 movies in my collection. Thanks for the thought.

Do yourself a favor and JUST watch season 3. Then cancel Paramount+ and put "Not interested in Kurtzman Trek, only Matalas Trek" as the reason.

For some reason I just reviewed this entire thread over the past week. It was kind of sad to read posts from old me, who was obviously very engaged with Trek, and excited about stuff, and eager to discuss things, and then compare it to my current apathy. It just seems like I've gotten more cynical and/or jaded with the passing years. I can't think of any entertainment that engages my enthusiasm these days like those old posts clearly show my feelings about Star Trek back then. I still enjoy stuff, but nothing at that level. Maybe that's just a more mature attitude toward things that ultimately don't matter all that much, but looking back, I think I miss feeling that engaged with a fictional setting. I just can't picture it happening again.

Lots of ongoing series... none of it Trek.

I did watch a couple of Prodigys out of curiosity. Nope. It's the visual style of the Clone Wars cartoon with a mixmatch of Guardians of the Galaxy-type characters. Nothing remotely Trek about it.
Also, as a big Rick and Morty fan I gave Lower Decks a shot. I really tried. I watched like 6 of them. Nope. It's painfully unfunny. It's equating humor with, like, the # of references to "obscure" episode of Star Trek they can have characters stammer out. Also it's rather lewd and is constantly trying to shock. It's nothing like Trek at all.
The only good NuTrek: the first episode of STP season 1, the first episode of STP season 2, and the whole season 3 of STP. Nothing else.
