• The Visitor - DS9 S04 E03

    From Flavio Bessa@1:2320/100 to All on Sun Feb 12 11:00:00 2017
    Hello my friends,

    Thanks to Netflix, I am finally catching up on Deep Space Nine, as here in Brazil it was available only up to the third season.

    I was completely amazed by the third episode of the fourth season, "The Visitor" - it was a beautiful story that really captivated me.

    Hope the rest of the series can have anything with similar quality. That one entered to my list of preferred ones...
    Regards,
    Flavio Bessa

    Couldn't you just download and watch them before? Here in Russia AFAIK we didn't have any official releases of echotag at all.. Well, except some ocasional runs on various TV channels. But nevertheless everyone who's interested has allready watched them all long time ago :)

    Couldn't you just use a proxy server to fool NF into thinking you are in the US? If that fails,there is always KODI.

    Yes, there was some period of time when I used Netflix. Didn't use a proxy though but some "special" DNS service which fooled it..
    And _then_ I discovered KODI and all the convinience Netflix provided (all that
    keeping track of all the shows I watch up to the second in an episode if I stopped it in a middle) suddenly became available for me on my local hard-drive, without any extra payments :)
    Bottom line - I think Netflix was great and totally deserved my money up until they lost contracts with major movie companies and like 3/4 of a good stuff of their library has vanished in a blink of an eye :(

    Ah yes, the 'special' DNS service providers... forgot about those! ;)

    I'm going to have to start watching more Netflix. Haven't done it in
    years (I keep the subscription but mostly my sister watches it).

    I'm disappointed that while all the Star Trek series are showing on
    Heroes & Icons on cable (and local broadcast) I can't watch it because I
    have to get up too early for work.

    I should get rid of the U-Verse TV and just watch Netflix like I used to.
    ;)

    It was very difficult to find reliable torrents for Star Trek. :)

    I discovered KODI only recently... But still, here in Brazil Netflix has a very good and hassle-free lineup :)

    It has ALL series, and also a few documentaries (like "Captains" and "For the Love of Spock"). Only the movies from the regular universe (prior to the new "Star Trek") have been removed... I think it's worth the price :)

    Well, H&I has been showing them all too... back to back... but they start
    at 8pm and that's usually the time I go to bed on a work night. But
    yeah, I've watched them all on NetFlix before, and will again.

    Though without Wrath of Khan on there... I don't know, that upsets me.
