http://www.cbs.com/classics/star_trek/video/video.php

You just have to sit through a short commercial before the episode starts. They also have a few commercial breaks here and there.

The episodes use "Flash", quality is quite decent imo.

1. Pretty cool
Both the BBC (BBC iPlayer) and Channel 4 UK (4onDemand) are offering loads of their stuff for free to UK residents, but they've blocked access for overseas though. Although an inventive person might be able to find ways around that.

2. Are they the original TOS or the remastered?
I'm on dialup, so the site takes me a year to load...

3. They look cleaned up
Edited on Mon Feb-25-08 09:53 AM by Babel_17
so I'll guess "remastered". I know there are certain episodes that will have a giveaway so one can tell for sure but I haven't checked.

Here's a "bonus link" to a lot of Monty Python stuff.

http://monty.python.videowall.sytes.org/

I should maybe give each of these links a toss into the lounge. If anyone else wants to do the honors of giving each their own thread in The DU Lounge, feel free. :)

The Monty Python Video Wall, a page with a lot of embedded links to Monty Python youtube videos, might be a repost.

Edit: Other topics get their own "video wall" as well.

4. cool

There are 1 or 2 episodes that for some reason I only saw a single time, and always wanted to watch again. I'll have to go and see if I can find 'em. Thanks!
