Generations on Hulu for limited time

Post by sunnyside »

Hey it's free and only a few clicks away for regions that get Hulu. I'm guessing most of the people here would have seen it, but I bet you have some associates who haven't and it's up to us to spread the Trek fanbase right?

Poking around Hulu, it looks like much if not all of TOS is on CBSes website, which might be viewable by more people than Hulu.

"Limited" being "zero", unless you're in the States. :(

As in for now it's there for free, eventually they'll probably pull it. They actually drop a lot of stuff eventually.

But if it gets enough traffic they might get some more Trek movies.

From what I hear they're going to start charging soon. By the way, does anybody know if you can watch Hulu from a 360?
They say that in the Army,
the women are mighty fine.
They look like Phyllis Diller,
and walk like Frankenstein.

Wouldn't that defeat the purpose of their mission, they want to provide free internet tv. Unless you mean their saying they may be charging for some movies and such, which may be because the advertising isn't paying for it well enough.

I could see them going with a blend of free shows to keep up traffic and exposure, and than charge some nominal amount to either see stuff in high def or for various additional shows and whatnot.

I could see paying a buck for a streamed movie on demand.
