Poll Would you purchase a legit remaster of Voyager?

[SlayerSantiago]

Let's assume this is remotely possible. No AI/all original sources.

 

[Dukhat]

Nope. Because they would just show it on Paramount+, so what’s the point of buying the physical media?

Ummmm, ownership?

Maximum quality. Special features. Ensuring access even in the case of network outages or streaming service contractual issues. Easier to take screencaps for research and/or shitposting memes.

 

[Lord Garth]

I would buy VOY-R, just like DS9-R.

You mean a bunch of stuff that most people don’t watch or do?

Ummmm, ownership?

Do you own every Star Trek show ever made on physical media?

You must be fun at parties.

I do. On VHS, DVD and/or Bluray.

I sure am.

I don’t. I have TOS on DVD and S1 of DSC which I’m selling on eBay. I don’t feel the need to own other Trek series because I can stream them any time I want.

 

[Imrahil]

No, because although I enjoyed the series initially, liked some of the characters a lot (e.g. the EMH), and some episodes, when I watched it on a rerun it just felt like ST by the numbers to me.

Right. But what happens if Paramount ends their streaming service? Or worse, they don't renew their streaming distribution license - similar to what happened with the Looney Tunes franchise and HBO.

You can stream them anytime you want - for now.

 

[DonIago]

If it was barebones and expensive, I'd be far less likely to buy it than if it included decent special features and was reasonably priced, so there's not really enough information provided here.

 

[Ragitsu]

Absolutely; I would even pay a hefty premium.

Even though I am a huge fan of Star Trek as a whole, I don't feel the need to own every single series or movie on physical media. ENT is already out on bluray, and I have no interest in buying it, because frankly I never liked it all that much. If it suddenly went away and I couldn't stream it or watch reruns of it on over-the air or cable TV, well, that's life.

 

[Lynx]

I would buy it if it's in good quality.

I prefer DVDs to streaming. Streaming services are costly in the long run and highly unreliable. Not to mention that 95% of what they offer is mostly uninteresting for me.
