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.
