Growing up, i never knew if the vcr recorded properly, if my dad recorded over it, so the semi serialized aspect didn’t appeal to me. Watching straight through, with the last episode still fresh, does better service to ds9 than a weekly release ever did.
And it’s great not to have to track anything. I get home, hit “next up…” and veg-out to Voyager.
They hired that cat as a crisis actor and gave him a script!
