I like it better this season though i think it's rip off having to pay for the cbs service monthly just to watch it. I decided a few days ago i am just going to wait until the end of the season then binge watch the episodes.

I don't know why they can't air the show on over-the-air TV like they've done with all the past Star Trek shows.

I love it. It's way better than the first season thus far, and I rather enjoyed the first season.

Be sure to watch the "Short Treks" too. Saru's is kind of important and, while not entirely neccissary, gives some extra backstory that ties in with a couple episdoes (including last night's).

Tilly's Short Trek was great, and I hope we revisit that.

Basically it's over a whole "General Order 1" (The Prime Directive) violation.

If I had a nickle for every time Kirk or Picard broke the Prime Directive ... well... I'd have a shitload of nickles.

Yeah, breaking the prime directive is nothing new that we've seen. And as Picard once said, he did it "because it was the right thing to do!"

Either a) they're hemmoraging cash, or b) wanting to try out a new billing model. I don't know if it's working, I don't know of anyone who's raving about any of these "freemium" web streaming services.

AMC is trying to get people to pay for commercial free, early access to shows on their service. Too bad they waited until The Walking Dead's 9th season to roll it out!

You can binge watch on the CBS service without paying, or are you saying
only pay for it once all the episodes have dropped, then quit once you are done?

Thanks!

I've seen a lot of people online defending it being shown on CBS streaming with arguments like "You pay for movies in the theater, right?" or "It's only
$6 per month" etc.. But I'd rather not have to pay for another service just for one TV show. I don't really mind there being commercials if it's over the air - maybe I'm just used to that.

I don't have a premium TV service either.. Most of what I watch on TV is over the air, and I do occasionally watch something on Netflix or Amazon Prime.

at least 3 different ones in order to see the shows I would want to watch

It is cheaper to wait until they come out on DVD.

I guess just one service and show getting money per view your show bring.

I agree. And which ones are the good ones and the bad ones are all subjective too. I also don't really understand why it would be more advantageous for them to have a show on the paid streaming service vs. over the air, since over the air still generates revenue from commercials/ads.

I've only watched S02, so I don't know when that doctor guy, but I guess the Klingon Spy dude did the deed, and as soon as that guy returned via cocoon travel I just got those Sci-Fi shivers like, "Yeah, that was a bad move..."

At the very least he's not gonna be into his partner anymore, as to why we'll probably have to wait a few Eps.
