I did not know this, but apparently Earl Boen passed away in 2023, which would make casting...difficult.

I've liked Naveen Andrews ever since he was an underutilized breakout star on "Lost", and he has the advantage of actually being of Indian descent. I'll be very curious to see how much range he gets to show as this series winds on.

Usually they would have saved that gritty stuff for DS9.

This episode confirmed my biggest fear: I'm bad at focusing on audio stories, and will have to choose when to listen carefully.

As far as the story goes, I'm happiest to see that they're doing some character rehab for Marla McGivers.

They don't seem to be doing similar rehab for Khan himself, which is fine by me, but they are highlighting his ability to turn on a dime and go full tyrant at the drop of a hat.

Okay, I'm convinced - thread is up.

excuse me reddit is that way

I've never seen any indication that taxes had anything to do with it. I think they just gave the exclusive license to Netflix (which has since expired, at least for season one).

Episode 2

I'm open to it, if there's enough interest.

Speak now, people!

Paramount tends to give other platforms temporary exclusive licenses to the films.

It's not perfect, but I find justwatch.com useful when trying to figure out where things are available in my country.

Episode 1

Star Trek will also launch the official anniversary Hub – StarTrek.com/60 – the home for the yearlong celebration. The hub will provide a look at the calendar of activities including exciting new partnerships, events, and opportunities for fan participation. Fans can now visit the hub and sign up to be among the first to learn about special events, new merchandise and more.

Nothing new or interesting there yet - might be one to keep an eye on.

Two episodes (if you can call a 3-4 minute short an "episode") will supposedly go live today, so, uh, if you're a preschooler, let us know what you think!
