    From Datalus@21:1/101 to All on Tue Nov 23 08:48:30 2021
    I'm surprise no one has talked about Star Trek Discovery yet. Did
    anyone see the first of season 4? I did it seamed okay but I hope they
    pick it up for the next one. Whats your thought?

    I have not seen the start of Season 4 yet. Being based out of the USA it's been a rough week for Star Trek fans as three days before we thought we were going to be able to watch Discovery Season 4 on Netflix the team at Paramount announced they were pulling it from that platform and would instead offer it to the international audience next year sometime when Paramount+ rolls out around the globe :(

    I think that sucks and am not sure many around the globe will both to pay for yet another streaming platform to watch trek.

    I suppose it annoyed me more given

    1. we got 3 days notice before season launch is was not going to be available to us

    2. when Paramount ran their second live streamed global 'Star Trek Day' a month or so back, the access to watch that content after the live stream ended stopped within hours... so the vibe is 'hey were a global star trek community' followed by 'ah no, sorry you're not in a part of the world that can watch this content' and all within hours of banging on about an 'international event'

    It left a bitter taste in my mouth :(

    I've been struggling to like it since the beginning
    . Saw season 4 opener andfinally
    gave up on the series. Only character I like
    d was Pike. Hopefullyhis spin
    -off series will happen.I actuall
    y didn't mind season 1, though I d
    idn't really think of it as StarT
    rek (which helped). But it got worse from
    there. Seems like the writersdon'
    t know what direction they want to take it and it changes from se
    ason toseason (in a bad way). I
    also don't like how the characters talk like it is
    2021. As I said, the season
    4 opener was the final nail in the coffin forme
    .

    Paramont is part of nbcnow which I paid 5.00 a month last time. its
    worth that much to me. I'd capture it and send it to you but my luck I
    would get caught and spend much more than 5.00 a month.

    It's all good but thanks for thinking of me.

    From what i can tell they may have caved a little and now offer it on a service called Pluto TV to some other parts of the world. I may yet get to see it soon-ish :)
