I don't watch it until Saturdays, at the earliest. Why does the time it drops matter? I go to bed at 10, and no show gets me up any later or earlier. There is nothing worth it in the entertainment industry for missing sleep.
Spoilers Strange New Worlds General Discussion Thread

Thing is, seasons 1 and 2 of Disco were released during prime time hours, 8:00 PM EST to be exact. At that time everyone whined and complained that Paramount+ (or rather CBS All Access as it was then known as) was "adhering to an outdated network model" and that they "needed to get with the times and start acting like a true streaming service" by releasing the episodes at midnight PST. Which is why they've been doing exactly that starting with Picard S1 and every season of each Trek series since then. And given that decision was made specifically to appeal to the masses, I don't see them walking back on that. Especially not after three years of no complaints on the matter.
I love how they remembered the Moon/Luna stuff from DS9 and referenced it.
One of my favorite scenes in all of Deep Space Nine, nay, all of STAR TREK. World building at it's finest and most natural.I love how they remembered the Moon/Luna stuff from DS9 and referenced it.
James. TIBERIUS. Kirk.
I never thought I would be so glad that he's on this show. Especially after Quality of Mercy where I was less than impressed. And I think they've hit the sweet spot for where / when / how he has been used. I think he should have been in 2.7 something episodes. But you can't do that and 2 wouldn't have been enough.
That said? I want something bad to happen to him. I want ONE episode next season that can make it look like he's not on a ballistic course for Pike's chair. I suppose the flip side of that is that he can continue to be "playing chess in Canada awesome" but that's hard to do, especially when we need Pike to be that awesome as well. J. Kirk can't just be as great as he was in TOS. He needs to be "not there yet" while still being crazy precocious.
Some combination of both? Wow. TV writing must be hard!

Well, not fall programming, too late for that. But I guess they could be looking towards midseason since it's pretty clear there won't be any new content available then either.
I think that would be a good idea. Running DIS season 1 on CBS is how I started watching it and then signed up for All Access/Paramount+.
I honestly wondered if CBS might do that. If it is a trial balloon, they have 20 episodes now, which is almost a regular season worth. They'd have to trim a few minutes from each episode to fit commercials in but there's not really explicit content (I think Carol Kane got to drop an f-bomb but it wasn't as much as in PIC)
Trekmovie: ‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Continues To Rank In The Streaming Top 10

Why?
Because of how Paramount sold the thing. I bought the first four movies as part of the 2021 4K box, assuming that they would then sell me another chunk of movies in another subsequent box. But no, the next year they then sold 1-6 as a box. Then the DE of TMP came out. If I wanted the set with all of the goodies (including the television edit, which from 1982ish to 2001 WAS Star Trek: The Motion Picture) then that came with the Theatrical Cut again. But no Blu rays, because that would be silly, right?
One of my birthday presents was the S1 set of SNW.
I have it in my Amazon birthday list, but nobody got it for me.
