      For an extra $500, could I get the same collection without any of the Voyager episodes?

      Absolutely. Please make the check payable to "Baricom."

  2. What a waste by ravenspear · · Score: 5, Funny

    I really don't see the point of this. Every true geek has already seen all of that anyway. It's not something they really need.

    On the other hand $2500 will pay for a lot of hookers.

      Amazon was tired of sitting hundreds boxed sets of Voyager. They figured if they bundled them with other stuff people might accidently buy them.

      If this plan fails they'll hire Jeri Ryan to personally hand deliver every copy of a Voyager season bought. They figure that if she sold the series once, she can do it again.

    By such logic, TOS is also non-cannon as it includes a cross-over with another TV show, "Assignment: Earth".

    (Please don't post pointing out that Assignment: Earth never made it past it's pilot, or I will be forced to invoke Wold Newton, and you won't like that.)
