Why? The story does nothing, goes nowhere, contradicts continuity and is derivative of a billion similar stories and concepts.
Oh shoot didn't even think of that as a spoiler, my spoiler was for something else, I'll fix itThanks for the unmarked spoilers outside the spoiler box there Himynameischris
Some of us have only just today got legit access to the shorts.
The New York Times has posted their review of the season opener. In short: they liked it a lot more than season 1.
As others have said, there's no contradiction at play here. And while I understand where you're coming from re: derivative, I don't mind. It's clearly an homage of sorts. A well-directed, terrifically-acted homage.
And here's NPR's review. Eric Deggans liked it too. (I swear 90% of it is sound clips though. <_<)
To be fair the actual promo for that episode put all that information out there.Oh shoot didn't even think of that as a spoiler, my spoiler was for something else, I'll fix it
Edit: Really sorry, was on my phone and just posted quickly.
No worries, and cheers.Oh shoot didn't even think of that as a spoiler, my spoiler was for something else, I'll fix it

I'm trying to watch them on the Windows 10 Netflix app, yet there's no option for 'Trailers and More'. I can find them on the web browser version, yet I believe this is limited to 720p, and I'd much rather watch them at 1080p.Huh, I've noticed something pretty nice, not sure if it's intentional, BUT on my Netflix (UK) the four Short Treks are under the Trailers and More section! Anyone else wanna check and see if I've not gone mad?
Hope you enjoy them, I thought they were great and a really good ideaNo worries, and cheers.
I'm hoping to get them watched tonight when I get home.
I thought the web browser was only limited to 720p on browsers other than Edge because other browser devs won't pay for the codecs?I'm trying to watch them on the Windows 10 Netflix app, yet there's no option for 'Trailers and More'.

There doesn't appear to be a way to add the mini-episodes to my list. I've also tried playing for a minute, but it isn't showing up in 'Continue Watching'. Has anyone figured out a way to watch them on the app?
Hope you enjoy them, I thought they were great and a really good idea
Awesome, no break this time:
I was under the impression that you need a recent Intel CPU to run at high resolution on Edge? The Windows 10 app definitely supports 1080p, which is why I've been using it.I thought the web browser was only limited to 720p on browsers other than Edge because other browser devs won't pay for the codecs?
I was under the impression Edge will do higher resolutions and that the Windows app used Edge for playback anyway.

Awesome, no break this time:
It's still weird that the official Netflix app is missing basic features. If anything, I'd expect that to be the primary version they would be developing for Windows, due to most of the browser's DRM deficiencies (Not that I think DRM is a good thing, but it's an unfortunate necessity).Resolution
Windows computers support streaming in the following browser resolutions:
- Google Chrome up to 720p
- Internet Explorer up to 1080p
- Microsoft Edge up to 4K*
- Mozilla Firefox up to 720p
- Opera up to 720p
- Windows 8 app up to 1080p
- Windows 10 app up to 4K*
*Streaming in 4K requires an HDCP 2.2 compliant connection to a 60Hz 4K-capable display, Intel's 7th generation Core CPU or newer, and the latest Windows updates. Check with the manufacturer of your system to verify specifications.
Just confirmed, the shorts are under trailers and more. That is just weird.
How did Calypso contradict continuity? It takes place 1000 years in the future.
It doesn't contradict anything because nothing has been set in the time period it takes place in.
Regarding Culber:
remember Tilly had a speck of that spore fall on her when they get back from the MU and there is a scene in the trailer where they suck something out of her, what if that's Culber, he grows back from the network?
Regarding Calypso Eps:
As far as Calypso, we don't even know what year the Discovery was abandon, it's 1000 years from an unknown year and we don't know what part of space they are in
I see them on my phone, but not on my Apple TV. Sigh.Just confirmed, the shorts are under trailers and more. That is just weird.
The V'Drash or whatever meant to be a future version of the Federation, but Enterprise still has the actual Federation still operating in this period.
i never finished the first season had just a few eps left. Not seeing Jason Isaacs in any promos... Uh oh. Really liked Lorca.
I think sometimes companies elsewhere demand exclusive marketing, like maybe Netflix wants you to follow them on Twitter for STD, so they can show other Netflix stuff to you also.Why the fuck are they geoblocking trailers and recaps to a show shown over the world?
Infuriating.
Felt the same. Escape Artist worth it though imo.Watched the "Runaway" and "Calypso" Short Treks and to be honest I'm not sure I can be bothered watching the other two if they're the same kind of quality. They were just pure 'meh' at best.
Yeah the first 2 were fairly weak. I quite liked The Brightest Star for adding some more backstory to Saru. Escape Artist was the only genuinly good episode, though.Watched the "Runaway" and "Calypso" Short Treks and to be honest I'm not sure I can be bothered watching the other two if they're the same kind of quality.
