    It might, but I think the Star Trek thing may be played out. If they can come up with some original plots it will help.

      It's Star Trek, so, no, it won't be any good. ;) I've never been able to get on the Star Trek bandwagon. I watched some of it because so many people like it but I just can't do it. :thumbsdown:

      Now I understand. So sad.

          It probably affects the GNDN pipes in the Jeffries tubes.

            AGREED!!! Although, there were several good episodes.

            Everyone likes to hate on Enterprise, but I thought it was excellent and one of my favorite shows at the time. Here I am off in the corner by myself, the only person who loved Enterprise even more than DS9 and Voyager.

                You're a smart man Mike. Everything is becoming played out and rehashed. Seems entertainment has lost their creativity in favor of sugar coating yesterday's food and repackaging it as fresh.

                      Oh, you judge to harshly. I liked TNG just not the smarmy parts, especially Crusher.

                            Special effects: awesome. Storylines: weak. Political correctness: will make you want to kick the screen in.

                              The next chapter of the Star Trek franchise will also be distributed concurrently for television and multiple platforms around the world by CBS Studios International.

                              That does seem to imply it'll be available on regular TV channels, and won't require a subscription to CBS All Access. If not, I suspect it'll quickly rival Game of Thrones for the most illegally-downloaded TV series.

                              Re-read the first paragraph, then the one you quoted, to put it back into proper context. The first episode will air on TV. The rest of the series will be exclusive to their streaming service.

                                That's not what the sentence I quoted implies. But as I said, if they do restrict it to their US-only streaming service, and don't let anyone outside of the US see it, then it will end up on a lot of illegal download sites.

                                  CBS President has made a point of clarifying that the broadcast network is not involved[^] so it does look like the intention is to make it exclusive to the streaming service. The first nzb's will no doubt be hitting Usenet about 30 minutes afterward like they have for every other 'exclusive'.

                                      No doubt. The Trek nerd sites have already debated this. It'll be streaming only, except for the first episode.

                                        No doubt. The Trek nerd sites have already debated this. It'll be streaming only, except for the first episode.
