Must be regional.

Cbs is very picky with this show because they must protect their "cbs" only streaming service that people only care about for this one show.

...that 40%+ are not watching with a subscription

Does CBS streaming have all of season 1 available, or is it like Hulu where only the most recent N shows can be viewed?

I'm thinking of subscribing for a month to watch season 1.

Edit: oooh, a 7 day free trial on Amazon, 100% legal and CBS gets $0!

All of it? During my brief subscription, only the current season was available. That was a deal killer.

From the website it looks like they have all 15 episodes of STD for now, so if I do the free trial then cancel I can watch them all. Next summer I'll subscribe for one month to watch season 2.

I was talking about Big Bang Theory. I thought it was a huge ripoff to pay for a sub and not have those available.

Oh well, that's pretty much the only other show that interested me, so next season I will probably not be subscribing again.

Hmm, that's certainly attention grabbing! Even if the show turns out to be bad, many will watch it due simply to Sir Patrick's star power. What do you think of it?

I've been watching TNG on Netflix and even a bad episode is better than anything they can come up with today. I just wonder if the universe is played out, similar to Star Wars where they have no where left to go with it.

But Star Trek has all basically fallen off the TV & movie map. I never really watched till STNG, but I thought the prior ST was kind of a cultural icon.

The landscape for 'the future' has changed. We've entered a time where cynicism is more practical than wonder (in terms of entertainment). Also, ST isn't owned by Disney...so I mean..,

New season has started:

Vulcans have a much longer life span than humans.
Michael and Spock were about the same age when she got adopted.
They seemed to have aged at the same rate both physically and mentally???

more re-tooling of canon?


edit:
and how is trading that long life fuel cell for that old helmet camera not a violation of the Prime Directive?!?!

It`s sort of sads and pathetic to think that those who don`t like Discovery are the ones who are nit pickers for anything out of the ordinary......
Get a life -- It`s a freaking series and is NOT bound by 1 + 1 equals 2....sheese get a life peeps!!

I don't think so. My understanding is that Voq, who had albinism, was somehow transformed into Ash Tyler, and so would not be appearing in S02 in his original form.
