Re: all original Star Trek episodes now avail on Netflix instant queue
I thought they weren't available until April?

I can't wait. I have never actually seen an original Star Trek episode. However I watched a decent amount of TNG and DS9. I would like to go back and watch those shows from beginning to end eventually.

Sweet. Season 3 of TOS is the only item I don't own (And I've never seen all of the episodes). I can watch the episodes and see if it's worth buying the blu set.

How in the world have you never seen an episode of the original Star Trek? They have been replayed on television pretty much non-stop since they originally aired. I could understand if you haven't watched any of the other series, but if you had any interest at all in TNG or DS9, surely at some point you would have caught an episode of the original. Not slamming you or anything, that's just hard to believe.

Now that you mention it, maybe. I have been VERY dissapointed in the streaming options the last few months. And when I do find something interesting (and less than 3 years old) its only in Standard Def.

This will be a great way for me to sample Enterprise, but I have almost every other series on DVD, and I'll have to hold onto those since this is a two-year deal.

I'll finally be able to watch DS9 and Voyager! I've tried watching both of them numerous times but always get distracted only being able to watch a disc at a time.

So it's not just the original Star Trek series, but all of them?
Edit: No, that can't be true, because only the original series was on CBS.

To be that asshole, because I can, Netflix had all three seasons of the original Star Trek on Netflix Instant (in HD no less) until the Blu-rays came out.
Just saying.
Just saying.

And since that reminded me of it, here's an appropriate SNL skit:

OK, but has anyone seen a press release that states that all incarnations are included? Seems like the only mention out there merely suggests that "Star Trek" would be included, and doesn't specify what flavor of Star Trek.
