Show HN: Random Star Trek Generator (boldlybinge.space)

What's it supposed to do? Connect me to a randomly chosen ST episode on Netflix? (I don't have a Netflix account so I'm stymied there.)

When I go to the page it always gives me the text, "For Those Who Boldly Go" / "U.S.S. Ektorp". That doesn't appear to be a ST title, or randomly generate. Even when I try again in privacy mode.

I'm quite confused.


Once you hit the accept button it should forward you to a random episode on Netflix.


Ahh, so the text on the page (like U.S.S. Ektorp) is not a title and has nothing to do with the randomly chosen episode. That's what threw me.

Well, that and my lack of a Netflix account.

Thanks for un-confusing me.


No prob


Apparently out of sheer coincidence, it landed me on a Voyager episode that I had just watched yesterday


Jackpot! The chance of that happening is 1/694.


I thought it will generate a random StarTrek-esque story for me. What a waste...
