Discovery Getting Discovered September 24th
After several high profile delays, Paramount has announced that they're finally premiering the forthcoming addition into the Star Trek franchise -- Star Trek: Discovery -- this September 24th on CBS. (Link) After the pilot episode airs, subsequent hours will be available in the United States only via CBS All Access, the network's online subscriber platform.
Like so many die-hard Trek enthusiasts, I'm surprising uninterested in this new series. I think they've got a solid cast, sure, but streaming? Streaming ONLY? Pay $10 a month for only 15 hours and still have to sit through commercials, albeit limited ones? Seems like more than a buzzkill to me, and I do hope the suits know what they're doing with this one.
I'm far more inclined to wait for this one to drop on home video (DVD/Blu-ray) and then pick up a copy as that seems like a fairer expense than venturing into the streaming business. That way, I'll get some extras (most likely) and be able to spend the rest of my savings on hats.
As always, thanks for reading ... and live long and prosper!
