I suggest using CBS AA for the stuff that's only on the service while you have it (e.g. Short Trek eps). The rest you can wait until later...

The Short Treks were all gone from CBSAA when I looked. I could see from the search results that others were looking for them as well. I don't know why they pulled them...

You sure they got pulled? I don't have a sub now but I see them at https://www.cbs.com/shows/star-trek-discovery/. You may have to click Show More and slog thru the clips. Look for the 15 minute ones. Titles: "Runaway", "Calypso", "The Brightest Star", "The Escape Artist". They're listed as S2 E1 thru S2 E4.

First is the worst and relates to the finale. 2nd kinda relates to the finale. 3rd gives us more of Saru's origin story and is the best IMHO. Last one has Harry Mudd and has tips of the hat relating to him in TOS.

My trial expired 2 days ago. I did try to find them through the show page, to no avail. One of these months...

You'll be happy to know that I'm well into Season Two of The Expanse. What do I think so far? They traded scientific accuracy and soap opera boredom (someone seriously misunderstood the term "Space Opera") in S1 for roaring, banging and crashing - and even WHOOSHing, for crying out loud - plus lots of...adventure... in S2. If they don't kill Miller shortly I'm out.

Per the tweet at https://www.cnet.com/news/star-trek-pic ... fect-logo/, the "Picard show" will be called Star Trek: Picard. There's a single screen capture there, as well.

The tweet says

#StarTrek: Picard will stream exclusively on @CBSAllAccess in the United States, on Amazon #PrimeVideo in more than 200 countries and territories and in Canada on Bell Media’s @SpaceChannel and OTT service @CraveCanada. @StarTrekCBS @primevideouk http://bit.ly/STPicardTitle

I don't want to say too much about Miller. Hope you make it to S3:E5 "Triple Point". There's one part of that ep that I've watched multiple times.

In some eps, Bobbie Draper really kicks butt.

Totally OT: On a totally different genre, I started watching The Handmaid's Tale a few months ago since I'd heard so much about it. I may as well take advantage of my promo 99 cent/month sub (for 12 months) to Hulu that I think was a Black Friday deal. Hulu's ads are real annoying. Anyway. I finished S2 (latest season) last night. Boy.... what a scary dystopia. Ann Dowd as Aunt Lydia is the perfect actress for the role. Wow! S3 is coming out June 5th.

Canada isn't far from Ticonderoga, so I'd suggest flying to Montreal or Toronto and driving South to the exhibit. Burlington Vermont is also supposed to be nice. It's just a bit too far for me to have ever visited.

Ha.

I ended up booking my trip on Southwest Airlines tonight. They don't fly to BTV. I ended up booking a flight to Albany. I arrive on a late afternoon, plan to go see the sets (Star Trek Tour) the next day then fly back home the day after that. My trip includes earlier stops in Tuscon to go to https://titanmissilemuseum.org/ (was used in Star Trek: First Contact), https://pimaair.org/, plan to get on the tour of the boneyard (https://pimaair.org/visit/boneyard-reservation-request/), and Houston, mainly to visit https://spacecenter.org/visitor-information/.

I've had other priorities (like planning the above) + being very busy w/work so I haven't had time to even start S3 of Handmaid's Tale yet.

https://www.facebook.com/CBSAllAccess/v ... 500261713/ has a trailer for 6 more Short Treks. TOS fans will love some of the scenes.

https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=2454362964794593 is a trailer for the next season of The Expanse. It goes live on Dec 13.

There's a new trailer for Disco.

https://www.facebook.com/StarTrekCBS/ph ... =3&theater has dates for Short Treks, including one that dropped today. The text there says

The new Star Trek: Short Treks are finally here! Stream Q&A now on CBS All Access. New Short Treks drop the 2nd Thursday of every month until Star Trek: Picard begins.

Anyone all caught up on Short Treks?

I recently got an offer to rejoin for a month for free. So, I took advantage to watch the post S2 Short Treks. Unfortunately, I was spoiled about the outcome of the 3rd Short Trek by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek ... n_2_(2019). Oops. Don't read the summaries there!

Unfortunately, my free month won't cover short trek ep 10 (post S2, Short Trek 6) that'll be released Jan 9, 2020. It will cover the next two, which drop on Dec 12, 2019.

I have yet to see a single one. March, maybe.

https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/ST ... s#Season_2 has list of "S2" Short Trek eps w/no spoilers.

https://www.youtube.com/user/thegoodwif ... hort+treks has some trailers for the Short Treks.

Fans of Tribbles would probably like "The Trouble with Edward".
