Comment on Paramount+ Becoming The Streaming Home Of Star Trek In Canada

Okay so this article is just straight up lying or being extremely scumbaggy with it’s wording.

The service already includes all available seasons of Discovery, Lower Decks, and Picard.

Yeah… Discovery and Lower Decks was there but Picard wasn’t. Me and a friend, both Canadian, couldn’t watch it on Paramount+ and I said fuck it and ended up torrenting it. We didn’t know that it was on Crave until a couple of weeks ago and by then it was already phasing out. We had both signed up for Paramount+ to watch Season 3 of Picard and just outright couldn’t. Couldn’t even watch Season 2. Only Season 1 was available.

Also

While streaming for Star Trek has moved from Crave to Paramount+, CTV Sci-Fi will continue to be the broadcast home of Star Trek in Canada. The Star Trek shows will also continue to be available on CTV.ca and the CTV app for subscribers.

So… Paramount+ is just one of the homes for Star Trek then.

The rights to streaming Star Trek is a fucking disaster here.

The article is accurately reporting what Paramount themselves have said.

Paramount+ announced today that the service is now Canada’s streaming home of the iconic Star Trek catalogue featuring over 800 episodes of binge-worthy episodes and 12 feature films. Kicking off today, Season 1 and the current season to date of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is available to stream on Paramount+, and the library will continue to build throughout the month with Star Trek: The Next Generation available on August 8, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine on August 15, and more. These iconic series join Star Trek: Discovery and Star Trek: Picard, already streaming on the service.

You seem to be complaining that Picard wasn’t there several months ago, but no one is claiming it was, and I don’t think anyone was claiming it was back then, either.

So… Paramount+ is just one of the homes for Star Trek then.

You seem to misunderstand that, as well - all it means is that CTV Sci-Fi will continue airing the new series on TV. They will all stream on Paramount+.

  No. I am saying that it is disingenuous to say that it’s available when a SINGLE season is despite three being released.

  No, I quite literally do not. I put the quote in directly pointing to what I said. So if you could try your best to not just make shit up and stuff words down my throat, that would be utterly fantastic.

  One of the homes. If the shows are still available on another streaming service, then Paramount+ cannot claim to be the singular home of Star Trek. That is my point.
  
  I have zero interest in continuing this “conversation” with you when you’re going to misrepresent what I’ve said and then act snide due to your own failure to comprehend. I have far better things to do than waste my time having to explain myself ad nauseam.

    That’s a shame, because what you’re saying is very confusing.

    Edit: Your bitchy cunt response really proves my point.
    
    Getting this heated over a discussion about how a streaming service is inconvenient is pretty over the top. I’m annoyed with Trek being removed from Crave as well, and I’m also annoyed with Paramount for a whole host of reasons right now, so I empathize, but no need to react like this.
    
    Going to need you to edit your comment.
