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

I want to know about picard on amazon. I guess if other ST series are moving they will also go to pluto?

I managed to download the pluto app to my andriod phone and cast the pluto scifi channel to my chromecast yesterday.

I think you have to watch st disco "live" at 9pm tonight though. Not sure if they repeat it during the week if you miss one?

I'm trying to work out what Pluto TV have said. It looks like it's available at 9pm tonight, tomorrow and Sunday. I guess that means that for this week episode 1 will be at 9pm and then be followed by episode 2 at 10pm. Then next week Ep 3 will be on at 9pm on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

""

Unfortunately, their programme guide only seems to a "now and next" type so I can't see any later programmes today to confirm my guess.

Although they seem to offer an On Demand service I can't find any mention of Disco being available on this after it's aired.

I'm pretty sure Amazon actually own Picard it's got the Amazon Original banner across the top so I don't think it will move anywhere. I think Paramount own everything else though.

I think st disco eps had the netflix original at the start which apparently has been edited now.

Discovrery had the netflix original tag as well


Paramount own the rights to picard

you be able to buy a Paramount plus account thru the amazon prime app when it come out i suppose but it will be on their streaming network not amazons

Amazon is a bit more... honest about how they come by things. There's a certain terminology they use - Original is something they own, Exclusive is something they've bought and have exclusive rights to. I believe Picard is an Exclusive, albeit one they have for pretty much the entire world.

Netflix just stamps "Netflix Original" on absolutely everything.

Edit: Well it used to be the case. Looks like Amazon is following the Netflix route of if they've got exclusive rights then it's Original. So ignore the whole thing. :(

Picard is Paramount+ in the US, it's just on Amazon over here, so I'd expect it to take the same route, along with all the other series.

Yeah i noticed you couldn't view next days program. The search facility didn't help either. As you say Its not clear if the "on demand" will have it after it shows at 9pm. At least they repeat on sat and sun anyway.
 
did netflex not make the netflix marvel shows

so slight difference situation as they are just paying for a licease from marvel at this stage



it shitty as netflix more or less paid for Discovery to be made by taking on the worldwide international rights of distribution


CBS thought it was risky :/
 
I've recently got up to season 2 of TNG and things seem to have detiorated significantly. I'm very much losing interest and can see me skipping to Deep Space Nine very soon (which I think is the next phase).

You think season 2 of tng is worse than season 1?


That's a hot take.

Tng being less good than tos is understandable if subjective.

I'm a tos guy but tng is still worthy.

I bounced of ds9 to my eternal shame.

Voy was alright. Great op though.

Glad to be post berman though
 
Well I'm about 4 episodes in and I've not been able to finish atleast a couple so far, including the Elementary My Dear Data episode.

I don't think I did that with any episodes from season 1.

still suggest no one pay paramount anything.

saying that disco s4 is on pluto tv andriod app for free mess around with your newish tellys

saying that just sort brought a character back and they did not even give a proper hug or more to their partner

do the actors not have beef


distracted me for the plot for some reason

:hmm:

S1 & S2 of TNG range from mediocre to dire. When S2 ended there was a clear out amongst the writing and production staff including Roddenberry being moved to a job with a fancy title but no actual power and Berman took over.
S3 to S6 of TNG include some truly outstanding episodes the odd bummer of course but most pretty solid. S7 slacked a bit but was still MUCH better than S1 & S2
DS9 is great it's not Babylon 5 but comes close. VOY has some good episodes but is nowhere in the league of later TNG & DS9

Thankyou. It's good to hear that things do improve. I will probably skip to season 3 then.
 
After nearly 30 years and numerous attempts to watch DS9 I've finally made it past season 1! I'd run out of things to watch so thought I'd give it a go. Season 1 was still tough going - none of the characters really interested me and Sisko is just plain irritating. Season 2 got a little better and I enjoyed some of the story lines. I'm on season 3 now and, to my mind, it's still a bit patchy but I'm more invested in the characters and where the story is going than I've ever been before.

I hope my perseverance pays off as I'm looking forward to seeing why other people have said it's so good. At the moment, it's still only something to watch if I've got nothing better to do *.

* I've recently discovered that Babylon 5 is on IMDB TV so I've been re-watching that in preference to DS9 some of the time.
 
Was around of B5

had a good first season or 2 but then lost a lot of productions budget around the end


ended up watching the show that took over star gate in 1997

I'm actually sticking with season 2 of TNG. It's pretty good after all.
