I thought we had another Short Trek thread but when I searched for it norhing came up so that explains it
They haven't said anything except it's supposed to be out in Canada on whatever service they see them on. You'd think three years later they would have figured this out. And it's going to get worse with Picard on Amazon internationally.
Oh I had no idea, I thought it will be on Netflix too, I guess I have to borrow a Prime account from a friend once a week :/
Wait, has the Short Trek not gone up for anyone else? Because it's available in Canada via Crave.
It's... weird. Not in an outlandish or ridiculous way, just... weird.

Was that Short Trek supposed to have a strong undercurrent of thirstiness to it? I can't tell if I am imposing it on the material or if Chabon was writing Number One and Spock as being on the verge of love in an elevator.
Ugh, I guess I'll have to wait for months to see the new Short Treks. Netflix international doesn't give a damn about promoting them.
And now I'll have to deal with both Netflix and Amazon Primer to get Star Trek content. I swear if CBS makes me have to get a THIRD streaming service just for Lower Decks, I'll.
I'll... I'll get even more angry at them online!
Or resort to... other means to watch it.

Well it's not listed for October, so I guess we have to wait :(
Given the comments I've seen elsewhere, you're absolutely not alone (and I got the same bizarre vibe). That plus the
very sudden and bizarre modern major general stuff
made me think for the first time that maybe I don't actually want that Pike Enterprise spinoff as much as I thought I did. Pretty much everything in the episode landed badly for me. That said, I seem to be mostly alone in that opinion so who knows.
The Enterprise got the "new uniforms" implying like back in the TOS era each ship had its own uniform symbol, the uniforms were a constitution class benefit
It was the song Crusher got Geordi to sing in the episode Disaster
I mean, yeah, but
one, Crusher was staging a play and trying to recruit Geordi, so there's context for Geordi singing the lines. Two, Crusher and Geordi have known each other for years and are essentially colleagues of equal rank; it makes sense for them to let their guard down. Number One and Spock have literally just met and differ substantially in rank.
It's bizarre enough that there has to be something I'm missing.
I think the conceit is that their time in the elevator condensed their relationship
Plus Number One figured out Spocks more private secret and she sang that as repayment

Lol I thought almost this exact thing.
But for real, I do have a hard time ignoring the weird external turbo shaft rollercoaster shots. Are the ships supposed to be hollow shells filled with tracks to get from the transporter on one end to the bridge on the other? Blatantly disregarding scale like that drives me up the wall, it's like visual nails on a chalkboard
Stoked to have more Star Trek otherwise, I think they've largely been doing great work. I think we get one more short trek next week.
Yeah! Definitely an homage to the JJ Abrams Enterprise theme.
yeah he was the supervising composer for this one he's also directing one of two animated short
Okay, so
did I not figure out Spock's "more private secret"? Because I thought they were having a conversation about Spock trying to conform to everyone's notions of what a Vulcan Starfleet officer should be. That doesn't seem like a secret so much as plainly obvious to anyone who thinks about Spock's predicament for more than a nanosecond.
i think Netflix just prefer to release them all at once like last time so you'll probably have to wait until January
fuck edward piece of shit he should never have been in starfleet
thankfully he died

I don't think they are pretending it isn't coming, they just haven't confirmed it is. Doing a short trek may well have been in response to the reception of Pike et Al, but the concept for a while show isn't just something you can plan and stuff in 6 months. Not to mention the cast may have other ideas. I think they've also teased bit here and there asking if it was something people would want, akin to also g if they would like oxygen
H. Jon Benjamin, holy shit! Casting I never would have imagined, but absolutely perfect.
That's what I mean by pretending it isn't definitely coming. It's a bit naive to think they weren't already in the early stages of development on a Pike show until they saw the reception for them when they popped up on Discovery. I'd imagine the cast was informed of these plans before even taking the roles to begin with.
It'll happen just like that Captain Riker/EMH/Seven spin-off.
Why did no one expect DS9 spin-off?

Yes, I remember back then when CBS was trying to gain subscribers for their new-content starved streaming network on the back of the one franchise that actually moved the needle for it...
It's trek.
Canon is all.
I enjoyed it. Last line seemed odd though. A little too casual given the outcome.
Hmm I suppose, I don't think any of us expected a Pike show when we knew Mount was in S2. But certainly early on in S2 there was an obvious thirst.
The Tardigrades creator has filed an appeal and is being backed by one of the Youtube morons with a GoFundme who has obviously talked him into it. I wonder when he'll realize his being used the Discovery haters?
These trolls have no limits. They are putting in massive amounts of work like a full-time job just to attack Discovery... butt why???? Youtube clicks?
I also agree that the humor in Discovery has not been working for me at all. Wish they would tone it back like a lot as it's been really cringe worthy.
