Pre-order Season 2 of Shannara Chronicles for $10 in HD

For a limited time only, you can pre-order Season 2 of The Shannara Chronicles in HD and without ads, for just $10 at Amazon Instant Video. That’s the whole season. You will get the episodes as they become available. Season 2 has not began yet.

Season 2 of the TV series, based on the Terry Brooks long-standing book series, will begin October 11 in 2017 according to epguides.

One unusual thing about this TV show is that season 1 was running on MTV, but for season 2, the TV show is moving to Spike TV, which has been making some noise about moving towards more scifi and fantasy type of content.

This is a limited time promotion, but I do not know when it expires. It may be an introductory offer because of the potential confusion created with the transition from MTV to Spike.

How to get a discount on an HBO Now Subscription

For cordcutters, HBO has a rather generous 30-day free trial, but once they hook you in, then their monthly fee is $15, which for some may be too much, especially if you don’t watch every show and high profile movie they offer there. So, is there a way to get a discount for that?

The answer is YES, but it is an indirect way of getting a discount. You sign-up and pay for your subscription through GooglePLAY. Why GooglePLAY? Because they allow you to pay for monthly subscriptions with your gift card balance. You don’t have to pay with a credit card or debit card.

Killjoys Season 2 BluRay with Digital HD for $17

“Killjoys” is an underrated and underappreciated space science-fiction TV series that is airing on Syfy and Canada’ SPACE channel. It has its own unique style and personality, which may not be for some people, HOWEVER, this has a lot of in-world mythology and world-building, and there is an underlying story underneath it all, so you are not just watching episodic television, it has an overarching arc.

The TV show is currently not available at any of the major streaming services (Netflix, Hulu, Prime), which makes this sale even better, because for under $17, you get the BluRay sett with Digital HD (Ultraviolet, through NBCUcodes) at amazon.com. This is a limited time sale, with up to three sets per customer during the sale.

Meanwhile Season 1 goes for just under $21, likewise in a BluRay set with Digital HD.

There’s also a music discovery component to the show as they play a lot of new and fresh music throughout the episodes!

“Space Above and Beyond” DVD set for $20 with free S&H

With this show not being able on any streaming services (I’m guessing it must be some kind of a rights issue?), it is hard to find it on DVD at a reasonable price. Which is why this is a exciting if you want to buy/watch this underrated scifi TV series.

Syfy’s (then Sci-Fi) “Space Above and Beyond” lasted one season (back then it was 24 episodes, that’s like two seasons of today’s shows) and did not get renewed. It has ahead of its time in the more PoV-style realism that became a lot more popular after Ronald D. Moore’s “Battlestar Galactica”.

Anyway, to cut a long story short, the DVD set for Season 1 is available in “Used – Good” condition for $20 with free shipping by the Goodwill of Seattle through Amazon Warehouse Deals. This will ship directly from Seattle, so it is not Prime eligible. But everyone gets free shipping regardless of Prime status.

This is a great deal for an instant classic sci-fi TV show!

Buy Mercy Street Season Pass, Watch Last Three Episodes Before They Air On TV

If you are like me and have jumped on the Cordcutting Bandwagon (I even picked up a $30~ OTA DVR (check my unboxing blog post on it, with a lot more coming up), you may be thrilled to learn of a new pro-Cordcutter development. If you purchase a Season Pass of the Mercy Street Season 1 show, you will be able to watch the last three episodes BEFORE they air on TV. The season pass is $15 in HD or $10 in SD.

mercy_street_early_access

If you are interested in the show, but don’t want to pay, but you are a Prime member, new episodes are added to the Prime Video Library seven days after their air on TV. This is part of Amazon’s larger Prime deal with some of the PBS shows.

NOTE: this offer is only available if you purchase the whole Season Pass, not if you purchase the episodes individually. Season Passes have changed over time, you now prepay the whole season ahead of time. The price total typically includes a discount over buying the episodes individually. For some of the 10-episode seasons, for example, you pay $25 (HD) for a Season Pass versus $30 if you buy them individually.
