  1. The Animated Series!? by AmicoToni · · Score: 5, Interesting

    It doesn't seem to contain Star Trek: The Animated Series!...

  2. What makes a movie worth watching over again? by Quirk · · Score: 4, Interesting
    Most geeks must have good memories. The amount of info that has to be assimilated and managed is, to say the least, considerable. It follows most geeks would be able to retain a storyline and much attendant material from watching a movie once or maybe twice.

    What makes owning this set of dvds and, presumably, rewatching the material worthwhile?

    The only movies I've watched repeatedly are Casablanca, Apocalypse Now and to a lesser extent Alien and Blade Runner, but I've no idea why I can watch Casablanca and Apocalpse Now over and over. I know the material very nearly by heart, but have no idea what the mechanism is that hooks me in.

  3. referal fee by Celt · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I'm curious how much trektoday get if somebody buys that set through their handy referal link in this slashdot story, nice that the editors left the link intact.
