The Star Trek box sets regularly go on sale for absurdly cheap (especially the DVDs of DS9 and Voyager). I bought DS9, Voyager, and TAS boxsets in 2018 during a prime sale and spent $100 for all three combined. There's really no point to not own the physical copies of these series if you are a fan.

pyrotek posted:Does anybody have an opinion on the packaging quality between the old single-season DS9 DVD sets and the newer complete series box? Looking on ebay, a complete set of the single-season boxes usually goes for ~$100 and the complete series box is ~$60. Is the packaging on the old sets worth the $40 difference? I'm always dubious of the quality of newer ultra-cheap DVD sets. I have these region 2 sets. They interlock.

Scotty's a Scotsman in a manual discipline. The only reason 75% of the words we hear from him aren't swears are down to the universal translator's profanity filter Trip, however, rarely swears, but does make use of various down-home sayings that sound like euphemisms for swearing, racism, or both. Reno only swears when she knows it'll make the other people in the room uncomfortable because she finds it amusing. Hemmer only did it once in a while, but it always caught people off-guard so he has a disproportionate reputation. Gaz-L fucked around with this message at 19:14 on Feb 28, 2024 |

It’s just intense purple prose with lots of medieval fantasy allusions. “That’s just dragon’s purple pantaloons!” sounds like nothing to us and would get him dethroned on his home planet. Also I don’t think we mentioned Torres, who probably collects swear words from friends and colleagues for future use. The next one came from Neelix.

Billups swears absolutely never... about anything to do with engineering. It's when egos and bureaucracy get in the way of him doing the job he lets loose with a firehose of profanity that would get an approving nod from Dr. T'ana. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MgfsjKRa2Y
