I wanted to watch Star Trek, which means trying Netflix
but the free month still needs an account, and an authorised way to pay
and I don't want to give them a credit card number

there's netflix cards for just such a reason
but then I've given them my money even without knowing what they can provide or if i'll use them

and the stupid netflix button on my tv didn't work for the first 40 minutes i was trying today anyway. dont know why, dont know what fixed it, it just sometimes doesnt even want to show a free trial screen.



given that i'll only be watching the one show
it doesnt seem worth it

i mean that's expensive episodes

i could just wait for the dvds.



but i bet they'll want to talk about it at science fiction group.

*sigh*



this fragmenting of media behind pay services is really unhelpful.

stream for free to try if you like it, decide if you want to give them money later.

i just signed up to them today, i used my paypal thingy. not sure if i will watch enough to be worth it but i thought i'd give it a go because star trek. (i dont want much on amazon prime but i reckon i use enough free postage to make it worthwhile.)
