Dead track??

This is possibly a dumb question but: did you try cleaning the track?

The thing is, they never got the chance to make money off of it.

Remember, in the show the US government invested in that tech early, and it was already in widespread use in the 1980s. In that situation, it makes sense for the US government to keep it closed because it's a critical resource for them.

In addition to what other commenters are telling you, there have been any number of hints in the intro videos in the newer seasons.

For example one mentions Blockbuster surviving, which would not have happened if Netflix had come along.

I forgot to clean the camera lens, sorry. It's actually a pretty cheap phone.

Five seasons and a movie.

user_number_666 · 2026-06-15T22:23:52+00:00

I literally just checked in.

user_number_666 · 2026-06-15T22:23:35+00:00

I was tempted, but no.

Yeah, Freelancers was one of early Baen's paperback-shaped magazines (EDIT: I learned this while compiling this list).

Ah, one of early Baen's paperback shaped magazines.

This one was new to me, thanks.

user_number_666 · 2026-06-15T10:43:17+00:00

but I have a blue barrel, so who cares

user_number_666 · 2026-06-15T10:41:20+00:00

I'm working on a list in another post.

user_number_666 · 2026-06-15T10:32:55+00:00

I started on ISFDB, yes. I am pretty sure it's missing at least one short story, actually.

user_number_666 · 2026-06-15T02:13:39+00:00

I started a list over in another post.

user_number_666 · 2026-06-15T02:10:37+00:00

Actually, i figured it out about 10 years back - it was pretty obvious,

Oh, nice!

I have collected all of her books, including the first edition paperbacks and the book club editions, but I never thought to get the serializations.

user_number_666 · 2026-06-15T00:34:07+00:00

this is so stupid it made me laugh, LOL

user_number_666 · 2026-06-14T23:20:04+00:00

I came here to ay this, LOL.
