Join the boycott of "Discovery" blu-rays until we get our beloved DS9 and Voyager Blu-Rays!

[feek61]

Okay time for backup plan. Instead of boycott "Discovery" Blu-Rays everyone go buy them even if you don't like the show. Make sure you keep your recipe though. We will march towards CBS's main place of business with our Blu-Ray in one hand and recipe in the other. We will demand they give us our "DS9" and "Voyager" Blu-Rays or else they all will be returned to the store for cash. To keep the fire to their feet we will once in awhile have to return them of course and re-buy them so the time limit on the recipe won't run out but it should be enough to prevent any tricks like stopping the process of them being made soon as we can't return our "Discovery" Blu-Rays. I guess I don't need to remind everyone to not open them or else you might only get store credit and then I think CBS gets a win on that.

Why would we give CBS our recipe's? Are they going to publish a cookbook? Maybe a "Discovery" themed cookbook? I am not sure your back-up plan is any better than the original plan.

You're actually serious, aren't you?

Discovery could sell a boat load on blu ray or not, it still won't affect DS9/Voy. Disc is shot ready for HD. TNG blu ray sales being slow is what killed any hope of that, physical media is dying and there really is no big demand for a blu ray DS9/Voyager.

What a stupid topic.

According to fandom 142,6% of all of humanity is demanding it......

It will be titled, "To Serve Man."

I'm going to boycott the new A STAR IS BORN until the original 1937 version is re-released to theaters.

That makes about as much sense, right?

 

[Lord Garth]

I'm going to boycott the anime film Metropolis -- which has no connection whatsoever to the 1927 Fritz Lang masterpiece of the same name -- until the 1984 version is upgraded to HD. I need to have the live-action Metropolis of my generation in all of its high-definition glory, with all lost footage restored, artsy-colorized, and given a full-on synth score to accompany it. Screw everyone else, until I get what I want.

You should probably boycott all Superman movies, too, just to be safe.

Well, the Pat Benatar song ("Here's My Heart") was used really effectively in the '84 version, IIRC. You go, dude!

 

[Jedi_Master]

I boycott everything. Saves me a ton of money.

 

[BillJ]

I say we boycott All-Access until we get JK Simmons as Picard.

So. I'm the only one boycotting DSC because I saw the first episode and thought it was shit?

Not watching a show because you don't enjoy it is perfectly reasonable. Doing so because you think it will force the Powers to Be to give you that other thing you want is kinda silly.

Fair enough.

You really shouldn't judge it on "The Vulcan Hello"/"Battle at the Binary Stars". The show takes off in another direction starting with "Context is for Kings". Still wasn't my cup of tea, but I would catch a couple episodes from the third on to make more of an informed opinion.

 

[Armus]

What's a blu-ray?

Man I feel old.

I love using the word 'boycott.' It makes me sound so important and gives me such a false sense of power.

Golly! I'm so good at sarcasm I should pat myself on the back!

Nope. The Klingons in the first episode looked like sadistic Christmas trees in their armor. And they were boring. I don't need to wade through more of that to get to what's supposed to be good.

Consider my back patted.

i had no intention of buying the blu rays, but consider it done.

i'll just stick to paying CBS $10 for 15 minutes of content and the inevitable eye roll when i see my iTunes bill each month...
