Star Trek: Discovery (Speculation/Discussion/Spoilers)

"No god rule"? What a load of nonsense.

Yes, Roddenberry was an atheist. The show, and the franchise, are not. Religions and faiths both human and alien have featured prominently in the show right from the original series--when Roddenberry would have had the most creative control.

Not saying "god" or praising Jesus every other sentence is not a "no god rule."

It's part of the TOS bible. The characters can't say "god". And displays of religions only increased after his control started to wane. But don't take my word for it, it is a known thing...scroll down to the "analysis" section of this article.

This website is very much a fan website (Has lots of interesting information, exploring it is good way to spend some time).

Don't take my post to be an uninformed blanket statement of doom and gloom. I don't follow track with Roddenberry's Religiophobia, but that doesn't mean that I didn't/don't enjoy the first two seasons of The Next Generation. Which was my point. As for Discovery, I am curious to see which direction they will blow in. If it really is sticking to those first two years of TNG, or going the way of DS9/Voyager when it comes to religion. Originally I did think they were going for that rule to the letter.
But now I am not sure.

Discovery renewed for second season

Early season 2 details emerge....very early.

And it starts production sometime in April.

I voted a Business man into office. I couldn't care less about his reality show the Apprentice..



I could deal with all that... The show itself did portray more of a utopian society.
ITS MORE What that douchebag of an actor did and said that turns me off of discovery.



And several OF those actors/singers who have bad mouthed trump (Madonna, Springstein, and a few others) i have already DELETED their music from my collection, removed the DVD's from my collection and given them away, or have blacklisted their upcoming movies..

IMO you can't separate the two.. That's why several prominent singers (MADONNA!) are now on my **** list, and i have completely removed their music from my computers and even shattered the disks i had..

And I thought Annoyed was bad....ROFLMAO

FYI, garhkal got banned, I think.

He certainly won't be able to reply further,so remember this thread's about ST Discovery not "Who got modded etc."

Why I really came in here :

Anyone know if the show will get a UK/region 2 release on DVD box set? All I can find so far are novels and I have no interest in buying them or joining Netflix just yet.

My post was informal, as in he won't be able to comment.

It doesn't look like it'll be any time soon.

I have been thinking about taking a Netflix account though. I didn't know it was immediately available, like a day later, for Europe. And almost all of The CW shows are also on Netflix real quick. So, it would be worth it to get a pass (for me at least).

[LtColCarter]

So...the show will be on Netflix soon?

[DigiFluid]

In US, it’s only distributed via CBS All Access. As far as I know there are no plans to put it on US Netflix, as it’s their big driver to get people to use CBS’s in-house streaming service.

In Canada it airs on the TV channel Space at the same time it debuts on All Access in the US, then it releases on the following night on the streaming service CraveTV. No Netflix availability.

Internationally, it distributes exclusively on Netflix, releasing episodes the day after it premieres on All Access/Space.


No idea when DVD/BD is coming. Soon, I hope!

[jelgate]

Looking at the other shows on All Access, you might have to live with the possibility it won't be released on DVD

[mad_gater]

sometimes I think all this digital TV business ain't all it's cracked up to be...seems like a lot of the stuff you try to watch on this new digital TV system the digital signal frequently skips and makes the video all pixelated....seems like you used to get a more reliable signal on the old analog TV systems but that could just be me I suppose

Guess I won't be watching it anytime soon. I already pay for Netflix and Amazon Prime in addition to UVerse. I'm not about to pay for CBS All Access or Stargate Command. Although, Stargate Command seems to be a rather reasonable one time payment.

I don't think I'll be watching it anytime soon either. I'm not about to sign up for a service to watch 1 show, particularly one that has had a lukewarm reception at best.

If something happens where I can reasonably expect to burn through it in the free week trial they give you, I might do that.

Otherwise, I'm sure it will eventually show up somewhere. I can wait.

Beyond the free week trial, one month subscription to watch the whole series is cost worthy if you ask me. Just schedule it so you can watch the whole season within one pay period. It'd be cheaper than the DVD's.
