Star Trek TV series(es) - general discussion of the franchise

[Santino]

Well I distinctly remember when everyone used to say "topoermorningtoyaguvnor" and doffed their caps and curtseyed to m'lady before heading off down the mines. And now look where we are. There's no hope for mankind.

That did actually happen when Janeway when holodecking in magical Irish land.

Data gets it right

Data gets something else

Last time I was kissed in the torpedo bay I suffered a hull breach and had to eject the warp core.

 

[steveo87]

Well...this is a piss take...

 

[DotCommunist]

holding it back to use as part of the sales pitch when they bring paramount + here I suppose. People will just torrent.

 

[steveo87]

Oh, 100%. It just seems like they've shot themselves in the foot.

 

[Nine Bob Note]

Paramount should keep it's new shit free to air and contract the Redlettermedia guys to review the old stuff on a subscription service, as I know what I want to watch

 

[ruffneck23]

Well...this is a piss take...

 

[Ax^]

what utter wankers 2 days before launch and let it been promoted

robbing bastard's

*puts on pirate hat

 

[danny la rouge]

If it’s possible to have a free trial of Paramount+ for a month, I’ll wait until enough shows have aired that I can binge the series within a month and set up a trial month then cancel.

If it isn’t, then I’ll probably not bother. There’s too many paid platforms. I can’t even be arsed with the one I’ve got.

 

[Ax^]

it a wierd business model to piss off all you internatinal fans 2 days before the launch of the season people are waiting for

if you have any star trek stuff left to watch on netflix i'd get around to it cannot see that staying on the platform the minute paramount+ starts next feb

not sure if i'd bring myself to play another 10 pound a month to watch old series of star trek again

just record them off the old telly box

 

[krtek a houby]

Resistance is futile

 

[Ax^]

nah people should boycot paramount +


and hope it dies on the international side of things

every tv studio trying to take on the netflix model


we should all go back to Torrents and the like

Nostalgic for the days of seeing it on RTE

I’ll probably watch Voyager again then cancel Netflix.

Make it so

 

[AmateurAgitator]

Ah fuck. Star Trek is the only thing I watch on Netflix. This sucks.

 

[steveo87]

I'm probably repeating myself a bit, but it seems such a stupid thing to do.
If nothing else, you lose half of your viewership because you make it impossible to (legally) watch it.

Plus it's not financially feasible to subscribe to all the streaming services. So people, IMO, naturally gravitate towards the 'bigger' services, which is to say Netflix and Prime (and probably Disney+). I genuinely can't think of another 'Paramount show' other than ST, so why would I subscribe to it?

It just seems like an extremely badly thought out strategy that's been implemented equally as incompetently.

Good grief. Paramount+

They might as well brand it Trekkie Tax. I won’t be buying.

But I will be stealing, probably wait till Friday to give people chance to get good quality copies onto Pirate Bay

Is pirate bay still going? Must be over ten years since I last used that site.

 

[AmateurAgitator]

So how much is it to subscribe to Paramount + ?

I have heard from a friend that Cinema HQ is quite good. This friend watches it on their phone, but apparently you can get it on a Fire Stick.

You can't. Not in this country, at least.

 

[danny la rouge]

I don’t think it’s been announced. There’s not even a launch date as far as I can see. Some time in 2022.

Still use Pirate Bay regularly. It's mostly fine for the popular stuff.

 

[AmateurAgitator]

I see. Thankyou.

 

[steveo87]

Well it's $5.99 (with commercials) and 9.99 (without), so roughly the same price I guess.
