Seriously, why is the app just so bad?
So I see that YouTube is offering a free trial (USA) of Showtime + Paramount Plus... for 7 days. Does that mean I get to use YouTube's streaming/app?
Is the next season on Paramount? In the UK the first three seasons are all on Disney plus.
Strange New World is on Paramount, but not Lower Decks.
I'd watch more of Paramount than Netflix and what's not to love about more Trek
I have tried a few times but just cannot enjoy this show
That's okay!
First half of season 1 I couldn't stand the characters, but I feel they settle down after that then it gets really good then! But to each their own!
@dreamfall @ValueSubtracted @incendiaryperihelion
I’ve never watched Lower Decks and probably won’t. But, the SNW crossover was one of the most entertaining shows I’ve ever seen. At least it was for me.
There was a DS9 crossover episode in LD season 3, if you’re interested.
Oh you should, it's so good. Probably ties with SNW
But have you watched the strange new worlds crossover episode?
@Eeyore_Syndrome @incendiaryperihelion
I saw that with no knowledge of Lower Decks. It was an instant favorite. My wife cares little for Star Trek but she sat down and laughed along with me.
I just watched that one, but haven't watched the LD show. I enjoyed the episode knowing what it was (especially when they cartooned the SNW crew) but I'm not sure if I'd enjoy the show, they were quite annoying and didn't respect the chain of command enough 😂
What is it that you don’t like?
I think it was largely a miss with the humor for me. It seemed like it was mostly just referential humor, just kind of "hey I watched star trek" but without substance. I dont love the animation style either, but that's not been an issue for me in the past so long as the writing was entertaining enough
It struggled with that the first half season, but it found its own voice over time.
The fact that it’s found and retained its own dedicated fanbase who have no prior experience of Trek is evidence enough that it stands on its own.
Every single Star Trek series from TNG onward struggled in the beginning and took a season or two to really find itself. It's basically the shape of TV Trek.
Agree totally. Which is why I have a certain exasperation for those who gave Lower Decks and Prodigy a couple of episodes and then decided it’s not for them.
They seem to have pulled Season 3 here in Germany even though it was marketed as an "Amazon Original". Seasons 1 and 2 are still on Prime. Pretty disappointed because I just started a rewatch.
This licensing bullshit is really making me furious, from all streaming services nowadays
Arr. It be a problem matey.
Here in Italy season 3 is only for "premium" on prime.
The state of streaming services is embarrassing.
It’s all moved to Paramount+ and SkyShowtime.
... I'm probably not the first to point out that Star Trek they do a lot of walking, they don't go transporting everywhere. Why wouldn't the Golden Gate be a pedestrian crossing... just for the view. I don't get why you would write it that way, it isn't really humor, it's just lazy.
EDIT: ok, the Ketracel-white hot sauce was the quality of joke I was expecting ;) The NOLA culture stuff is great.
