Anywhere To Watch ST Episodes For Free?

[Harbinger]

My Amazon Prime and Netflix accounts have expired and I can't afford to renew them. I was wondering if there's anywhere I can see Star Trek, preferably Voyager, episodes that won't cost me? Legal, of course.

If there is no Voyager episodes, DS9 and Enterprise would be fine too since I especially need to catch up on the last season or two of DS9.

The only place to watch full episodes of any Trek series is Enterprise, which is on the official website. Other than that, there's nowhere else other than Hulu/Netflix.

^^ I wonder what the reasoning is behind that.... Enterprise is free but none of the other series' are? Bizarre.

Youtube has the original series, admittedly chopped into quarters, I don't know if they have Voyager.

I'm thinking it may be a contractual issue. I get the feeling that the cast/staff of the other series would demand much more in terms of royalty fees.

I thought SAG guidelines specified royalties to be paid on reairings?

Perhaps Enterprise is simply the weakest of the bunch, no outlet is really interested in paying to repeat it, so it ends up on the website?

Okay, well I was hoping for Voyager but Enterprise will do. I think I've missed a few episodes during it's airing so I can catch up with that.

That makes the the most sense. Plus, having the other series on Netflix/Amazon/Hulu generates money for CBS from their streaming contract with said companies.

TOS and TNG are still syndicated on stations across the US so that may be one reason why they're not available on the web for free. No idea why Voyager and DS9 aren't available.
