Red alert, Netflix subscribers: the first seven Star Trek movies are leaving the streaming site. If you’ve been planning a Trek movie marathon and haven’t gotten around to it, you have about a week and a half left before they’re gone.
All the Star Treks featuring the original cast—The Motion Picture, The Wrath of Khan, The Search for Spock, The Voyage Home, The Final Frontier, The Undiscovered Country, and Generations—are being removed from Netflix on July 1st. Nemesis isn’t on the hit list, while Insurrection, along with the two reboots, are already only available through their DVD service. (Does anybody still use that?) Neflix still has all the series though, and so does Amazon Prime, despite reports that everything was being yanked from there earlier this year.
So start planning your viewing parties, because the clock’s ticking on these classics.

If Star Trek Movies were friends
The Motion Picture: Wow its been so long! You look different! Did you, did you go and find religion?
The Wrath of Khan: Oh man, you're so warm and familiar, a bit older and comfortable. Wait what do you mean you're dying?!
The Search for Spock: Mournful, Sorrowful hugs. My deepest condolences. You just can't catch a break can't you, I don't know how you're going on.
The Voyage Home: When did you become a flower child? I knew you were silly but this is just so much silly!
The Final Frontier: Okay, enough with the silly. No, you don't need to be this dumb. Do we need to stage an intervention?
The Undiscovered Country: Not much left to say, you have kids going to college now doing their own thing, when did we get to retirement age? We know each other's everything
