10 Movies That Go Off the Rails If You Aren't Paying Full Attention

The lord of the rings films failed to show one of the war of the ring's deadliest aspects, transformers: every version of bumblebee, explained.

In a surprising move, Paramount+, which advertises itself as being "home to all your Star Trek needs, from classics such as the original series and The Next Generation to current hits like Discovery and Picard ," will now no longer have the vast majority of the thirteen Star Trek films available on the streaming service.

The timing is especially peculiar, as Paramount+ entered June with only the six original Star Trek films, as well as the four Star Trek: The Next Generation films, but in June, the third JJ Abrams movie, Star Trek: Beyond , was added and then in July, the second Abrams film, Star Trek: Into the Darkness , was added. So it seemed like Paramount was moving to having all thirteen soon, but instead, August saw all but the two Abrams' films leave the service.

Of the ten films that left Paramount+, nine of them are now streaming on AMC+, AMC's streaming service. Star Trek: Generations , the film that bridged the gap between the original films and the Next Generation films, is now not streaming anywhere.

It is unclear just how long this will last, as Paramount is naturally not making their streaming contracts publicly available. It is very possible that this is simply a matter of Paramount+ being a relatively recent setup following the merger of Viacom and CBS, and so there are very likely contracts assigning streaming rights that existed well before Paramount+ was launched as a replacement of CBS All Access.

We have seen similar issues with Disney, which had all sorts of deals with various streaming services before launching Disney+, and so now there is a sort of a game of hot potato, with movies coming and going depending on different preexisting contracts with other streaming services.

The ultimate goal with these companies is to eventually have its own material all under its own umbrella, but with so many different contracts out there, it is unclear just how long it will take for Paramount+ to be able to boost all of the Star Trek movies. Perhaps in time for the launch of the next Star Trek movie, currently set to be released sometime in the next couple of years. Also, Paramount+ will be the exclusive home of the upcoming 4k/HDR remaster of Robert Wise’s Directors Edition of Star Trek: The Motion Picture in early 2022, so that's something!

With Star Trek movies leaving Paramount Plus causing confusion, the case for DVDs gets Trekkie support

The Star Trek movies made the switch on January 1, leaving many fans in the lurch.

William Shatner in Star Trek II: Wrath of Khan

When the calendar flipped to 2024, the first 10 Star Trek movies (starting with 1979's Star Trek: The Motion Picture through 2002's Star Trek: Nemesis ) crossed the neutral zone. In other words, the Star Trek movies switched streaming services, leaving Paramount Plus and landing on Max .

This is not an uncommon practice, as licensing agreements that allow movies to be shared among all the different streaming services are another way for these platforms to make money. But their profit is coming at a cost to some subscribers. Add in the sting of Paramount Plus being billed as the home of Star Trek — its original series like Star Trek: Picard, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds and the Chris Pine Star Trek's are still on the service — the loss of these movies is causing many fans to miss DVDs and the security they got from physical media.

Exhibit A: a good portion of the Trekkie community shared that this exact instance is why they were happy they already had the movies on DVD/Blu-ray or was a reminder/strong case for the allegedly sunsetting technology to stick around. Among those sharing their minds was Star Trek: The Next Generation consultant Michael Okuda.

I love the convenience of streaming, but for any movie or TV show that's really important to me, I want to own a physical copy. The quality is often noticeably better, and it is much less likely to disappear suddenly if a license expires or someone changes their mind. https://t.co/oBffUty3m7 January 3, 2024

Now, for many, this move may not be that big of a deal. Perhaps they already subscribe to Max. Others may not see an issue with simply dropping Paramount Plus in favor of Max in order to be able to watch the Star Trek movies (streaming service churning like this has become a popular trend among consumers). But for others, it may not only be a slight annoyance having to keep track of where your favorite movie is streaming at a given time, but the cost can sometimes be prohibitive.

A subscription to Paramount Plus in the US ranges from $5.99 per month for its ad-supported base subscription to $11.99 per month for its premium, ad-free plan. Max, meanwhile, offers three plans that start at $9.99 per month (with ads) and go to $15.99 per month and $19.99 per month for no ads and additional features. Add that with the potential cost of other streaming services like Netflix , Hulu , Disney Plus , Peacock and Apple TV Plus , having it so you can easily access whatever whenever is becoming more and more expensive.

Beyond just movies and TV shows switching services, there is also the risk that they could be removed entirely from streaming services , much like what Max and Paramount Plus did with a number of its own shows. Some of these eventually made their way to other streaming services, like Star Trek: Prodigy to Netflix, but other shows are now only available via digital on-demand, which is another cost.

Then there are DVDs. While the initial sticker price for getting all of these Star Trek movies either individually or as a box set — not to mention a DVD/Blu-ray player if you don’t have one — is more expensive than a month, even multiple months, of a streaming service, it's actually more of an investment; a one-time cost that to ensure that you never have to worry about if you have the streaming service where you can watch the movie you feel like watching.

Are DVDs always the perfect solution? No. They take up space in your home, require a few more steps (literally and figuratively) than just typing in what you want to watch on in a search bar and sometimes have their own issues with movies not being easily available (personally, I've been dying to get a Criterion Collection of The Third Man , but it has been out of print for years from the distributor). But I also have DVDs that I bought more than 20 years ago or ones for older movies harder to find on streaming services that I could plug in right now and watch without any issue.

What many Star Trek fans, and movie fans in general, are reminded of when situations like this Star Trek switch takes place is that DVDs are the movie equivalent of vinyl albums and good old-fashioned books: perhaps they're not the most convenient way to consume the medium nowadays, but they still rank among the best and most reliable. Therefore, they will likely always live long and prosper.

From low-budget romps to high-energy blockbuster films, Star Trek has become one of the most influential sci-fi franchises of all time. While Trek has decades worth of TV, film, and animated iterations that might rival Star Wars , it also has its own unique legacy and long-time, passionate cult following (and merch ).

With the release of Star Trek : Discovery in 2017, the Trek television universe has become one of the highlights of original programming on Paramount+ . Unlike Kevin Feige ‘s aggressive rollout of new shows for Phase Four of the Marvel Cinematic Universe on Disney+, Paramount+ has done particularly well with releasing short series over the past few years for this newest wave of Star Trek . Helmed by Alex Kurtzman, series like Star Trek: Lower Decks and Picard have pushed the boundaries of what can be done with the universe’s canon in their first seasons so far.

How Can I Watch Paramount+ Free Online?

Paramount Plus renews Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, but cancels Lower Decks, the best of today's shows

Paramount Plus has some good news and some bad news for Star Trek fans...

A still from the animation of Star Trek: Lower Decks

Star Trek: Lower Decks – arguably the best Star Trek series, if its flawless ratings from critics are anything to go by – will make its final voyage later this year. The show will come to a close after its next season, its fifth, which is expected to air later in 2024.

But there's some solace for Star Trek fans, as Stark Trek: Strange New Worlds has been renewed for a fourth season. If a fifth season is the streaming equivalent of the red uniform that indicates one of the teleported team isn't coming back, that means Star Trek: Strange New Worlds should still be around for at least one more season after that.

The news of Star Trek: Lower Decks' cancellation comes via show creator Mike McMahan and co-producer Alex Kurtzman. In a message shared with the Star Trek website, they wrote: "We wanted to let you know that this fall will be the fifth and final season of Star Trek: Lower Decks . While five seasons of any series these days seems like a miracle, it’s no exaggeration to say that every second we've spent making this show has been a dream come true."

Stay tuned for the "hilarious" fifth and final season

According to the duo: "We’re excited for the world to see our hilarious fifth season which we're working on right now, and the good news is that all previous episodes will remain on Paramount+ so there is still so much to look forward to as we celebrate the Cerritos crew with a big send-off... We remain hopeful that even beyond season five, Mariner, Boimler, Tendi, Rutherford and the whole Cerritos crew will live on with new adventures."

Fans of the show will be disappointed. It's been consistently great, with season four currently sitting at an impressive 100% on Rotten Tomatoes – that's higher than even the first season of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, which has 99%. As Rolling Stone put it: " Next Generation and Deep Space Nine took a while to find themselves, and so did Lower Decks " – the fourth season has "become a highlight of this current phase of TV Trek".

Hopefully it's some consolation that Star Trek: Strange New Worlds has been renewed for another season. It's currently sitting with a 98% rating based on 99% for season one and 97% for season two. CBR says "it's shows like Strange New Worlds that confirm there is plenty of life in the venerable science fiction franchise, giving fans plenty to look forward to every Thursday for the exciting adventures of Captain Pike and his Enterprise", while The Mary Sue says that " Strange New Worlds shows that there’s still plenty of life left in the classic Star Trek format."

All the seasons so far of Star Trek: Lower Decks and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds are streaming on Paramount Plus.

In these days of streaming services, fans are learning who owns what copyrights to track down their favorite shows. The Star Trek franchise changed hands a few times in the past generation or two but is now more or less home in the hands of Paramount, and the brand has returned to dominate not only this production company but also the cable networks that handle the shows for conventional television.

You don't have to be a Trekker to Star Trek and chill, especially with the variety of shows Paramount+ currently has to offer. Not every Star Trek property ever made is here, with Netflix and CBS All Access also taking a share, but it's still an impressive list.

13 Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979)

It was considered to be a failure in its time, but modern viewers are finally giving this movie the credit it deserves .

The visuals are a sight to behold, with the design, music, and long shots reminiscent of 2001: A Space Odyssey than Star Wars , which is one of the reasons people didn't see it.

12 Star Trek 2: The Wrath Of Khan (1982)

Most people mistakenly think this was the first Star Trek movie because it made a much bigger impact than the previous one.

The idea of taking a dropped story thread from The Original Series was brilliant, and the action and intrigue resonated better with audiences.

11 Star Trek 3: The Seach For Spock (1984)

An adventure that ties up the unresolved issues of the previous one, Star Trek III: The Seach For Spock is more fantasy than science.

Related: Star Trek Villains Who Don't Get Enough Love

A small deviation to bring back everyone's favorite character, however, is something that audiences can tolerate.

10 Star Trek 4: The Voyage Home (1986)

The ultimate crowd pleaser and still the most successful movie in this franchise to date, this is the movie where the crew of the Star Trek Enterprise (using another ship, however) saves the whales, the world, and most of the known universe.

That's an actual description of the plot, and it has to be seen to understand how well it works.

9 Star Trek 5: The Final Frontier (1989)

As if to balance out the success of the last movie, the fifth installment made less of a positive impact and fueled fan rumors of the odd-numbered curse.

It's still not exactly the worst movie ever, focusing mostly on Spock, and still has a few fun and classic Trek moments in a mostly weak plot.

8 Star Trek 6: The Undiscovered Country (1991)

A Star Trek story that uses political intrigue and real-world stakes, it might not be the most exciting installment, but it holds its own as a compelling movie.

Related: Star Trek: Things You Didn’t Know About Sulu

It makes sense for more dialogue and less action since this was the last mission the crew would complete together before pulling into spacedock for the last time.

7 Star Trek 7: Generations (1994)

Star Trek: The Next Generation was one of the most popular shows on television in the 1990s , and it made perfect sense that the new captain and crew would take over.

At least it seemed to make perfect sense, but this is another time when Star Trek goes more fantasy than science. The Klingon characters and the exposition connected to their race is an interesting feature.

6 Star Trek: First Contact (1996)

It's a shakey Borg-related plot with more fanservice than reality, this might have worked better as a two-part TV special than a Hollywood-financed big-ticket film.

This isn't the last movie made using the main timeline, but a lot of people think it is because Star Trek: Nemesis was notoriously bad and seems to have fallen off the radar of any streaming services, including Paramount+.

5 Star Trek: Enterprise (2001-2005)

Ironically, the Star Trek show for a new millennium turned out to be a prequel. Star Trek: Enterprise was about the pre-Federation days of space exploration.

Related: Star Trek: Things You Didn’t Know About Scotty

The adventures of Captain Jonathan Archer and the crew of the United Earth Ship Enterprise weren't for everyone, but it was an interesting look into an obscure but of galactic history.

4 Star Trek: Discovery (2017- )

Apparently, Spock had a sister, and her adventures were so amazing that her very existence was classified. Despite a meandering storyline there is a lot of cool stuff to see in Discovery.

A stellar cast and some impressive set designs made this a popular show, and it's still running on both CBS and Paramount+.

3 Star Trek: Lower Decks (2020- )

There hasn't been an animated Star Trek series since the one from the 1970s that's only available on Netflix, and that was a drama as opposed to a comedy .

Star Trek: Lower Decks isn't about the officer class but the ensigns and conscripts that do the packing, driving, and fixing for the rest of the ship. Even though it's animated, this isn't a show for kids.

2 Star Trek: Prodigy (2021- )

Another animated offering, but with 3D CGI as opposed to traditional 2D animation, and this is the first Star Trek show designed and intended for children.

It was produced for both Paramount+ and Nickelodeon . Most of the characters are new creations, but Captain Janeway from Star Trek: Voyager also makes an appearance.

1 Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (2022- )

Strange New Worlds is a Discovery spin-off that was prompted by the popularity of Christopher Pike, the captain who took the helm of the Enterprise in the years before James Kirk.

It takes a more traditional approach to the story of Star Trek , using one-and-done type episodes and plotlines that include exploring the galaxy and discovering new life and new civilizations.

The Star Trek Movies & TV Shows Available On Paramount Plus

In the annals of science fiction fandom, you'd be hard-pressed to find a crew quite as devoted as those who worship at the fictional alter of the "Star Trek" franchise . And those fans have been rewarded for their near-undying fidelity to all things concerning Starfleet and the United Federation of Planets with a legit cavalcade of film and television projects since 1966.

There are so many "Star Trek" offerings out there these days, it's almost impossible for even the most diehard of Trekkies or Trekkers to keep up with them, let alone sit down and watch them all. If you count yourself among that particular lot of fans, you'll likely be happy to learn Paramount+ has got you covered on all things "Star Trek," making literally every single live-action and animated iteration of the franchise available to the streaming masses.

That includes the following "Star Trek" series and films:

Network shows: "The Original Series," "The Next Generation," "Deep Space Nine," "Voyager," "Enterprise," "The Animated Series"

Movies: "The Motion Picture," "The Wrath of Khan," "The Search for Spock," "The Voyage Home," "The Final Frontier," "The Undiscovered Country," "Generations," "First Contact," "Insurrection," "Nemesis," "Star Trek," "Star Trek Into Darkness," "Star Trek Beyond"

Paramount+ Originals: "Strange New Worlds," "Picard," "Discovery," "Lower Decks," "Short Treks"

You can still check out the entire lineup of Star Trek offerings without Parmount+

Given the broad swath of offerings available on Paramount+, the streamer is officially a one-stop shop for the entire "Star Trek" universe. But it's reasonable enough to assume not everyone has a current subscription to the platform. If that's the case, you can still track down the bulk of the greater "Star Trek" canon in the digital realm.

That prospect could get a little pricey for some, particularly in light of how many projects there are. But if you prefer to go about it that way, you'll find most of what you're looking for is available to rent or purchase through several video-on-demand outlets. You'll have to do some serious research regarding pricing for the various movies and shows. On iTunes, you can buy single episodes of the original series and several others for about $2.99 per, though they'll run about $1.99 on Prime Video. Meanwhile, going in on a full season of the original series will cost you anywhere from $9.99 (Prime Video) to $34.99 (iTunes).

For those out to binge the 13 feature films in the "Star Trek" franchise, you can rent each of them – including the 1979 original – from iTunes for $3.99. As with that original, you can also purchase most for $14.99. Those prices are roughly the same on Prime Video, even as "Star Trek Beyond" and certain other flicks can be bought for $9.99. And for the purists, physical copies are on the market for most, if not all the above.

Star Trek: Discovery Season 5 Ending Explained & Spoilers: What Happened in the Finale?

By Tamal Kundu

Here is the ending of Star Trek: Discovery Season 5 Episode 10 explained with spoilers. The show follows the Federation officers serving on board the titular starship Discovery. The series was initially meant to continue beyond Season 5. However, Paramount Plus ultimately decided against that and let the cast and crew film additional scenes to serve as the epilogue for the series. Star Trek: Discovery ended after Season 5 Episode 10 aired on May 30.

Delve into all the details of what happened in the Star Trek: Discovery series finale, including spoilers.

What happened at the end of the Star Trek: Discovery Season 5 series finale?

Star Trek: Discovery Season 5 ends with an older Michael Burnham, now an admiral, taking the USS Discovery on one final mission with the help of the ship’s computer, Zora. As Michael explains, she and the crew will take the ship into deep space and leave it there until Zora encounters Craft.

Star Trek: Discovery Season 5 Episode 10 begins right where the penultimate episode ended. Michael wakes up on an endless platform after walking into a portal in the previous episode. There, she encounters Moll (Eve Harlow), who entered the portal before her. The two agree on a temporary truce to find the legendary technology of the Progenitors.

Ultimately, Michael arrives in the Progenitor’s realm and meets one of them. When Michael voices her confusion about how this is happening, the Progenitor explains that while their species died out billions of years ago, the Progenitor’s and Michael’s minds are together in that place. Moreover, the Progenitor reveals that a species that came even before them created the realm they are in.

The Progenitor gives Michael the technology she has been looking for. However, after reuniting with her crew, she decides that no person or species should have access to this technology and sends it beyond a black hole’s event horizon.

Several weeks later, Saru (Doug Jones) and T’Rina (Tara Rosling) marry on a picturesque alien beach. On the other hand, Michael and Cleveland “Book” Booker (David Ajala) agree to spend the rest of their lives together.

The epilogue of the show takes place about four decades later. We learn that Michael and Book now have a son named Leto, who has just become the captain of his own ship. As Michael guides Discovery to its temporary resting place, she recalls all the precious moments she has experienced on the ship.

Although Michael doesn’t offer details on who or what this “Craft” is, those who have watched the anthology series Star Trek: Short Treks might know the answer. In Episode 2 of that show, titled Calypso, Zora meets a man named Craft (Aldis Hodge), roughly a thousand years after she was left in the deep space, and forms a complex relationship.

Will Captain Leto Burnham return in a Star Trek: Discovery sequel?

Captain Leto Burnham will not return in the Star Trek: Discovery sequel, as there is no such production as of May 2024.

In the series finale, Leto asks for his mother’s advice as he is about to begin his tenure as a captain. Michael tells him to treat his crew as his family, just as she had. There is no show or film currently in development with Leto as the lead. However, he does seem to have inherited many of his mother’s qualities and could serve as an excellent protagonist in the future.

Star Trek: Prodigy Cast Guide & All Returning Voyager Characters In Seasons 1 & 2

Netflix’s star trek release plan is a crucial new test for the franchise, the acolyte’s opening repeats obi-wan’s oldest lie.

Netflix will stream Star Trek: Prodigy season 2 before Paramount+'s Starfleet Academy starts shooting.
Star Trek: Prodigy season 2 focuses on Dal and crew aboard USS Voyager-A, setting the stage for their journey to becoming Starfleet officers, drawing comparisons with Star Trek: Starfleet Academy.
Starfleet Academy series faces tough competition from Prodigy, but both shows highlight the franchise's forward-thinking strategy for the next generation of fans.

Netflix is set to beat Paramount+ to the punch by streaming Star Trek: Prodigy season 2 before a single minute of Paramount's next Star Trek show is filmed. Prodigy season 2 has had a rocky road to screens, first being canceled by Paramount, before finding a new home on Netflix thanks, in part, to a passionate fan campaign. Star Trek: Prodigy season 2 will pick up the story of Dal R'El (Brett Gray) and his crew as they gain hands-on experience of what it takes to be Starfleet officers, courtesy of the mentorship of Admiral Kathryn Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) and the Doctor (Robert Picardo).

Although they're set 800 years apart, the upcoming YA Star Trek: Discovery spinoff, Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, bears similarities to Netlfix's animated series. While the target audience of Star Trek: Prodigy is certainly younger than that of Starfleet Academy , both shows are Star Trek coming-of-age stories . These similarities make the timing of Starfleet Academy 's announcement and Prodigy 's suspicious, but it's likely just an unfortunate coincidence. Another unfortunate coincidence is that Netflix drops Prodigy season 2 in July , months before Paramount+'s upcoming YA Star Trek show is scheduled to start shooting, meaning that Starfleet Academy could pale in comparison.

Star Trek: Prodigy's cast of young alien heroes and Star Trek: Voyager's legacy characters led by Admiral Janeway return in season 2.

Netflix’s Star Trek: Prodigy Season 2 Will Beat Paramount Plus’ Starfleet Academy To The Punch

Despite how rigidly compartmentalized Alex Kurtzman has made it, the Star Trek franchise has dueling Starfleet Academy shows. Star Trek: Prodigy will largely be set aboard the USS Voyager-A, as Dal and his fellow Warrant Officers join Janeway's mission to save Captain Chakotay (Robert Beltran) . While the end of Prodigy season 1 confirmed that Dal and his crew aren't officially Starfleet Academy cadets, season 2's theme of coming-of-age and learning what it takes to become an officer is the whole premise of the upcoming Star Trek: Discovery spinoff. Prodigy also has the benefit of being a Star Trek: Voyager sequel, meaning that it has a firmly established fictional universe in the form of the 24th century.

As well as Kate Mulgrew, Robert Picardo, and Robert Beltran, it's been teased that other classic Star Trek characters may cameo in Star Trek: Prodigy season 2.

Compared to the Star Trek: Prodigy characters rescuing a Starfleet legend from an alternate future, Star Trek: Starfleet Academy 's story of fresh recruits finding their way into higher education sounds incredibly dry. Hopefully, it won't be as Earthbound as suggested by the construction of Starfleet Academy 's primary San Francisco location on a soundstage in Toronto. However, it could be difficult for the show to escape unfavorable comparisons with a thematically similar yet more vibrant animated series. Not least because, like Prodigy 's Admiral Janeway, Starfleet Academy also has a charismatic female mentor, in the form of Holly Hunter's unnamed Academy Chancellor .

Why Star Trek Is Now So Focused On Starfleet Academy

Constantly trading on the 1990s glory days of the franchise, or revisiting the legendary adventures of the Star Trek: The Original Series crew will only go so far.

Star Trek 's dueling Starfleet Academy shows are emblematic of a forward-thinking strategy for the wider franchise. As the Star Trek franchise approaches its 60th anniversary, it makes sense to start building the next generation of Starfleet legends, be that in Star Trek: Prodigy or Star Trek: Starfleet Academy . Constantly trading on the 1990s glory days of the franchise, or revisiting the legendary adventures of the Star Trek: The Original Series crew will only go so far. While Star Trek is something that multiple generations enjoy together, kids and young adults often desire a corner of the franchise that's just for them.

Star Trek: Prodigy season 1 was such a joy because, as well as telling a great Star Trek story, it was a hugely enjoyable and accessible primer for the history of Starfleet and the Federation. Kids that fall in love with the adventures of Hologram Janeway and the crew of the USS Protostar could then ask their parents to show them the adventures of the real-life Janeway and the USS Voyager. Hopefully, Star Trek: Starfleet Academy will have a similar effect on its YA audience, building the next generation of fans and securing the longevity of the franchise for generations to come.

Star Trek: Starfleet Academy season 1 is scheduled to start production in Fall 2024.

Star Trek: Prodigy season 2 premieres on Netflix on July 1st.

Star Trek: Prodigy

*Availability in US

Not available

Star Trek: Prodigy is the first TV series in the Star Trek franchise marketed toward children, and one of the few animated series in the franchise. The story follows a group of young aliens who find a stolen Starfleet ship and use it to escape from the Tars Lamora prison colony where they are all held captive. Working together with the help of a holographic Captain Kathryn Janeway (Kate Mulgrew), the new crew of the USS Protostar must find their way back to the Alpha Quadrant to warn the Federation of the deadly threat that is pursuing them.

Star Trek: Starfleet Academy

After being closed for over a hundred years, Starfleet Academy is reopening its doors to those who wish to pursue a career as Starfleet Officers. Star Trek: Starfleet Academy will follow a new group of cadets as they come of age, and build friendships, rivalries, and romantic relationships while being threatened by a new adversary that could destroy the Academy and the Federation itself.

'Star Trek: Discovery' ends as an underappreciated TV pioneer

Eric Deggans

Sonequa Martin-Green as Michael Burnham in Season 5, Episode 9 of Star Trek: Discovery.

First, an admission: Though this column will offer a lot of discussion and defense of Star Trek: Discovery as a pivotal show, it won’t spend much time talking up the series’ current, final season or its finale episode, “Life, Itself,” dropping Thursday on Paramount+.

That’s because, for this critic, the last few seasons of Discovery have been a bit bogged down by the stuff that has always made it a tough sell as a Trek series: overly ambitious, serialized storylines that aren’t compelling; new characters and environments that don’t impress; plot twists which can be maddening in their lack of logic; big storytelling swings which can be confusing and predictable at once.

'Star Trek: Picard' soars by embracing the legacy of 'The Next Generation'

The show’s finale features the culmination of a sprawling scavenger hunt which found the crew of the starship Discovery bounding all over the place, searching for clues leading to a powerful technology pioneered by an alien race which created humanoid life throughout the galaxy. Their goal was to grab the technology before another race, ruthless and aggressive, could beat them to it, laying waste to everything.

It's no spoiler to reveal that Discovery ’s heroes avoid that nightmarish scenario, wrapping its fifth and final season with a conclusion centered on Sonequa Martin-Green’s ever-resourceful Capt. Michael Burnham and fond resolutions for a multitude of supporting characters (there’s even a space wedding!)

Still, this good-enough ending belies Discovery ’s status as a pioneering show which helped Paramount+ build a new vision for Star Trek in modern television – breaking ground that more creatively successful series like Star Trek: Picard and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds would follow years later.

And it all began with a singular character: Michael Burnham.

A take on Star Trek for modern TV

Discovery debuted in 2017 on CBS All Access — the streaming service which would become Paramount+ — facing a serious challenge.

As the first new Trek series in a dozen years, it had to chart a path which offered a new vision of the franchise without going too far — carving out a new corner in the universe of Capt. Kirk and Mr. Spock not long after the release of Star Trek Beyond , the third feature film produced by J. J. Abrams featuring rebooted versions of those classic characters.

Producers set Discovery ’s story 10 years before the days of Kirk and Spock (originally depicted on NBC for three seasons starting way back in 1966). The new series wouldn’t be centered on a starship captain, but its second in command: Burnham, a Black woman who also happened to be the hitherto unknown adopted daughter of Vulcan ambassador Sarek, Spock’s father (she would get promoted to captain of Discovery much later).

A Black human woman who was raised among the emotionally controlling, super-intellectual Vulcans? Who Trek fans had never heard of over nearly 60 years? Before I actually saw any episodes, my own feelings ranged from cautiously intrigued to cynically pessimistic.

But then I saw the first episode, which had an amazing early scene: Martin-Green as Burnham and Michelle Yeoh as Discovery Capt. Philippa Georgiou walking across an alien planet – two women of color marking the first step forward for Star Trek on a new platform.

People once sidelined in typical science fiction stories were now centerstage — a thrilling, historic moment.

And it got better from there. Back in the day, Trek writers often felt hamstrung by creator Gene Roddenberry’s insistence that, in the future depicted by the show, humans were beyond social ills like greed, prejudice, sexism, war, money and personal friction. The writers chafed, wondering: How in the world do you build compelling stories on a starship where interpersonal human conflict doesn’t exist?

But Discovery found a workaround, putting Burnham in a position where logic led her to mutiny against her captain, attempting a strategy which ultimately failed — leaving humans in open combat with the legendarily warlike Klingons. Discovery also featured a long storyline which played out over an entire season, unlike many earlier Trek shows which tried to offer a new adventure every week.

The show’s first season had plenty of action, with Harry Potter alum Jason Isaacs emerging as a compelling and unique starship captain (saying more would be a spoiler; log onto Paramount+ and check out the first season). Fans saw a new vision for Trek technology, leveraging sleek, visceral special effects and action sequences worthy of a big budget movie, with design elements cribbed from several of the franchise’s films.

Later in its run, Discovery would debut Ethan Peck as Spock and Anson Mount as Christopher Pike, classic Trek characters who eventually got their own acclaimed series in Strange New Worlds . So far, five other Trek series have emerged on Paramount+ from ideas initially incubated on Discovery – including a critically acclaimed season of Picard which reunited the cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation .

Not bad for a series one TV critic eventually called among “the worst in the [ Trek ] franchise’s history.”

Discovery’s unappreciated legacy

Unfortunately, Discovery has taken some turns which didn’t work out quite so well. At the end of Discovery ’s second season, the starship jumped ahead in time nine centuries – perhaps to remove it from Strange New World ’s timeline? – placing it in an environment only distantly connected to classic Trek .

And while Discovery initially seemed cautious about referencing classic Trek in its stories, later series like Strange New Worlds and Picard learned the value of diving into the near-60-year-old franchise’s legacy – regularly tapping the show’s longtime appeal, rather than twisting into knots to avoid it.

There are likely fans of Discovery who would disagree with this analysis. But I think it helps explain why the series has never quite gotten its due in the world of Star Trek , initially shaded by skeptical fans and later overshadowed by more beloved products.

Now is the perfect time to pay tribute to a show which actually accomplished quite a lot – helping prove that Roddenberry’s brainchild still has a lot of narrative juice left in the 21st Century.

All 13 Star Trek Movies Available On Paramount + For The First Time

| November 1, 2021 | By: TrekMovie.com Staff 81 comments so far

Paramount+ is the home to the Star Trek TV Universe with every episode of every series, including five Paramount+ original series (once Strange New Worlds debuts in 2022). And now, finally, it is also the home of every single Star Trek feature film.

Paramount+ now has all the Star Trek

Over the last year, Paramount+ has been building up its library of feature films. Earlier this summer the catalog for the USA streamer grew to include all but one of the Star Trek feature films, however, due to previous licensing deals all but two left the service in August .

As of today, all the movies are back. Paramount+ includes all six Original Series movies, all four Next Generation movies, and all three Kelvin-era J.J. Abrams-produced movies.

All 13 Star Trek movies in Paramount Plus

Some of the Trek films are also available via other streaming services, including Hulu, AMC+ and Epix, but none have all thirteen. While it is possible that there are still pending exclusive licensing deals that could see some of the Trek films movies leave Paramount+ temporarily in the future, it appears that ViacomCBS is trying to ensure as much of its catalog is available on its own streaming service. Other entire Paramount film franchises are now available on the service as well, including all four Indiana Jones movies, and all six Mission: Impossible movies.

ViacomCBS has made it clear that they have changed their policy towards licensing to third parties, making Paramount+ the priority. We have already seen evidence of this with Star Trek, as three series left Netflix in September the USA after being available for a decade. It’s quite possible that as deals for the various Star Trek legacy series expire with thrid party streaming companies they will not be renewed. This pattern may also repeat itself internationally as Paramount+ expands overseas in the coming years. None of this is unique to ViacomCBS as all the major media companies are prioritizing their own content on their own streaming platforms.

More to come in 2022… and beyond

Over the summer Paramount announced they were developing a new 4K version of the Director’s Edition of Star Trek: The Motion Picture, which will debut exclusively on Paramount+ in 2022. Paramount’s new chief has also recently confirmed that the studio is developing plans for multiple Star Trek feature films. And currently Paramount is generally making major theatrical releases available on Paramount+ within 45 days of release . The studio is also committed to developing more exclusive films for Paramount+, which could include potential future Star Trek movies. We have already seen them do this for other franchises including a Paranormal Activity movie released exclusively on Paramount+ last week.

All the Trek movies but which versions are they?

Right now it looks like the first four TOS movies are the same old circa-2009 theatrical versions, and not the newer 4K remasters that were released digitally and on disc a couple of months back. All TNG movies and the rest of the TOS movies are also the same circa-2009 versions with 5.1 audio.

Of the Kelvin-timeline films only Into Darkness is available with 4K HDR/Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, Star Trek (2009) and Beyond are HD and 5.1 only, despite them being available in 4K HDR and Atmos since 2016 as digital copies and on disc.

NOTE: Device support for 4K and/or HDR/Dolby Vision and/or Dolby Atmos is rather limited, you can see the details in this Paramount+ help article .

CBS Chief Says Star Trek Remains A Priority For Paramount, Answers Why ‘Legacy’ Has Not Been Greenlit

Actually, they still haven’t put Snake Eyes on Paramount Plus and that came out in theaters months ago.

Well, I saw that movie in theaters and regret doing so. It was very bad. Unless you’re a huge Joe fan, don’t bother

GI Joe: Origins ?

I thought it was about the guy at the Hasbro factory who said, “hey, let’s make a doll for boys!”

I find it interesting that paramount was able to hold onto the writes for the first 4 indy films I would have thought Disney would have fought tooth and nail to get them since they may have been filmed on paramount lots but they belonged to lucasfilm i guess the only way to stream both the first 4 and the fifth when it comes out is to have both paramount plus and Disney plus

Paramount will be involved with Indiana Jones in perpetuity. When Disney acquired Lucasfilm, it was granted ownership rights to the Indiana Jones IP, but Paramount retained the ownership of distribution rights for the films. Disney eventually acquired the distribution and marketing rights to future movies, but per the terms of their agreement, Paramount will continue to distribute the first four films for Disney and will receive “financial participation” from any additional films yet to be made.

I’m wondering when they figure out the rights issues with the royalties or whatever it is with the comic books so Marvel can reprint all the Dark Horse and original Marvel runs and do a new comic series. They’ve slowly been reprinting the Star Wars legends stuff but no Indiana Jones.

I don’t think it’s a rights issue; I think they’re just waiting until the next major market opportunity, which should come with the release of the fifth movie (just as the release of the fourth movie prompted a general wave of new Indy stuff, including reprints and reissues and whatnot of old comics in new collections, old novels, soundtracks, etc.).

It was a pretty ironclad contract, and with each film I believe Paramount always finded the entire budget themselves and thus had more leverage.

What I’m curious to see is if some canny Viacom lawyer finagled a way to keep the mountain logo at the beginning of Indy 5.

See my reply above yours. :)

We just don’t know if Paramount’s participation will ever be featured onscreen going forward. I’d love for it to be like The Avengers where their logo still came on even though they had ceded distribution responsibilities to Disney.

It’s still funny to see the one Avengers movie on Paramount+. It’s so random lol.

I think they have their eye on streaming revenue of the new films rather than the box office. That might speed things along. The franchise could even survive the occasional dud and not go into exile for a few years.

This so much. If Trek continues to be overall a good thing for P+ then they may be able to try some new ideas they’ve talked about. I wish they’d get back with Nick Meyer about the (apparently Kahn related) project he was working on. I think cinematic miniseries of 3 episodes would be great. Then do a mix of P+ stand alone streaming lower budget movies, and exclusive streaming rights to future big budget movies.

It’s obvious, regardless of what people may think of current trek, that it’s working for the streaming service.

At this point, that may be the option for the movies and just go to P+. They can make lower budget ones and do some interesting and creative things. Imagine something like the Star Trek: The Beginning movie they originally had in mind that dealt with the Romulan War. Script is already written! That can now be a Paramount+ exclusive. A movie that takes place in the 31st century aboard a ship right after The Burn hit and trying to get home. Or they can make a series of DS9 films set 10 years after the Dominion war! Get Ira Steven Behr back and make it great! Or a film that takes place during the Eugenics war staring a young Khan. Or one that involves Enterprise and give that show real closure. We’ll forget TATV exists. ;)

There are tons of ideas they can do that make not work for an entire show but done in a movie format. And this way they don’t have to worry about trying to get a bunch of new fans (and China) to make these movies a hit and you can tell a wide range of stories that doesn’t involve Kirk jumping off things like he’s Ethan Hunt or fighting another uber-villain who wants to destroy the Federation.

Wow great news!

I assume the 09 film was coming. It was on Netflix for half the year (which is where I watched it recently) but then it was pulled in August. Since it never showed up anywhere else I was hoping Paramount+ gets it.

Paramount+ is finally feeling like a real Star Trek library. Still needs more like the documentaries or TV specials but the movies and shows is what matters most. It’s crazy to know you can access 800+ hours of Star Trek for just $5-10. Beats the old days when I used to rent a 2 episode TOS VHS cassette for $3 at Blockbuster lol.

I still have Encounter at Farpoint and the pin it came with. Didn’t subscribe beyond the first one because that was like under ten bucks with a free pin and the others were twenty dollars a tape. Years later they had more affordable selected episodes at Blockbuster that is purchased like Best of Both Worlds tape 1 and 2 and All Good things tapes 1 and 2. Still remember buying the used rental tape for First Contact without the poster since they wouldn’t let that go. Or taping insurrection from the pay per view service it first appeared on before the cassette came out. I also taped the movie edit of dark frontier.

As much as we have it SO good today when it comes to just access, sometimes I do miss those old days. Renting or buying a VHS tape felt special. I remember going to Blockbuster after school when they marked down their First Contact cassettes for purchase and I nabbed the last one. Man I could not tell you how happy I felt that day lol.

I remember I used to record the shows on my VCR but I would stop it to edit out all the commercials so I can get a ‘quality’ experience later! I used to tape all the two-part episodes together as well. ;D

Haha when I was a kid I used to tape a few TOS episodes on my Dad’s audio reel to reel tape recorder and I wondered when they would ever invent an affordable video recorder for consumers. When VHS and Beta was first introduced, it felt like a miracle haha.

Pretty amazing that in less than 50 years after I was recording reel to reel audio-only from 79 hrs of available TOS, I can now access more than 800 hours of Star Trek using VOD via streaming – and watch it on a flat panel like the one Mr. Flint had in Requiem for Methuselah. (How will they ever make a CRT so thin??)

LOL the things us fans used to do to have these shows and films; especially at a time when buying these things outright was very cost prohibited. I remember a younger fan on Reddit a year ago ask why is binging so popular today when back then you could’ve still watched all the shows and movies on VHS or DVD, not realizing just how much it would cost just to rent one tape of DVD.

It could cost literally hundreds of dollars even in the 90s to try to watch every episode and movie and that was just to rent. And depending on the country, even more expensive. Buying was just insane. I remember one poster saying she had to order the TOS tapes from other countries back in Ireland because it just wasn’t on in her area IIRC and 2 episodes per tape were around US$8 a piece when you included shipping and handling.

Today, it’s around US$5-15 tops for a month for the entire library depending on what sites you have pretty much worldwide. And you have the entire thing in your pocket. No hauling dozens of tapes in a room. ;)

No, if you wanted to see the shows in the 90’s it was actually quite easy. Just record all the reruns. Then you had all of them. With commercials but you could just skip them. Sure, you were at the whims of whatever was rerun. But it wasn’t that hard to cacth Trek then.

IF you lived in America that is. The shows weren’t seen in every country like it is today. It was mostly in North America and Europe.

And yes I said I would tape the show without the commercials lol. But it was still very different time compared today.

I have a close friend with every TNG episode on VHS with commercials from the 90s. He won’t get rid of the tapes because of the commercials. That’s a lot of boxes.

LOL that’s funny. Do they still even have their VCR?? It would be fun to see a lot of those commercials today.

Yeah, I had a friend who did that too. But he has been trying to unload them for 20 years. He recorded all the MST3K episodes too!

Have you watched the Star Trek documentary on the Smithsonian documentary channel on Paramount+? It is quite good. One of the fun tidbits I learned from it is that the TOS sets were disassembled and sent to the UCLA theater department where they were repurposed for years-worth of students building sets for plays out of them. They speculate that there may still be pieces of the TOS sets being used as random pieces of plywood there.

You know, I haven’t yet! I see it on Paramount+ and tell myself I plan to watch it but never do. But since you recommend it, I’ll try and give it a watch this week now after I watch the next Prodigy episode. Keep it Star Trek themed. ;) Thanks for the recommendation!

They’re also all available in my DVD collection!

Same, but streaming is just so convenient!

Best to worst: II, III, VI, FC, IV, 09, ID, TMP, GEN, BEY, V, NEM, INS

agreed, no.

Nemesis basically never even opened, it was dead on arrival and never even left space dock. The final space battle is cool but not enough to lift the film from its abyss of mediocrity. It had to play against the second film of Lord of the Rings the Two Towers, oops.

Nemesis came out a week earlier, and didn’t even finish No.1 at the box office that week, losing to Maid in Manhattan .

II,VI,IV,III,V,TMP,09,BEY,ID,GEN,FC,NEM,INS

TWOK,TUC, FC, TSFS, GEN, TMP, TFF, INS, TVH, NEM

TUC, FC, TMP, TWoK, TSfS, TVH, INS, 09, TFF, ID, GEN, BEY, NEM

Insurrection is actually quite underrated. Might Feel kikda slow compared to First Contact, but it is indeed a nice standalone story, Even though it feels more like a TV double episode

I think Nemesis gets a bad wrap. IMHO the reason for the lower than hoped for box office has more to do with outside forces more so than the movie itself. As a TNG movie, I find it has quite a lot going for it. Was it perfect? No. Was it flawed, yes it had some flaws. But then, so did WoK. And that movie worked well in spite of the errors. Nemesis was the first time I, as a viewer, empathized with the data character some. It also was a really good finale for the group. It was the final episode they never got. And it worked. And yes, that 3rd act was really something.

I would say I like Insurrection a lot more today. It has grown on me, but it’s still on the lower end of the spectrum on my list overall. I also don’t hate any of the movies, but there are certainly quite a few bad ones too.

WOK, TUC, FC, TVH, BEY, TSFS, GEN, ST09, INS, STID, TFF, TMP, NEM

FC, TVH, TUC, 09, TWOK, TSFS, GEN, BEY, NEM, STID, TMP, INS, TFF

TUC, TWOK, FC, Nem, Bey, XI, TVH, Gen, ID, Ins, SFS, TFF, TMP

I’m not sure about “best”, but my favorite to least favorite looks something like this:

Star Trek – The Motion Picture Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan Star Trek III: The Search for Spock Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (tied for 1st through 4th place)

Star Trek: First Contact

Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country Star Trek: Generations (tied for 6th and 7th place)

Star Trek: Insurrection

Star Trek V: The Final Frontier Star Trek: Nemesis (tied for 9th and 10th place, which sounds low, but I do still enjoy everything to this point)

Star Trek [2009] Star Trek Into Darkness (tied for 11th and 12th place; these are the only ones I really dislike at all)

I never saw Star Trek Beyond since I didn’t merely dislike but outright hated its two immediate predecessors so much, but I’ll rectify that eventually in the name of completeness, and because I consistently read / hear from other fans that it’s the best of the Kelvin movies. I enjoy all the “Prime” timeline movies, albeit it to varying degreees. The ranking here is somewhat flexible, and on a different day the titles from fifth place to tenth place might shuffle around a bit, but the original four movies from TMP to TVH and the first two Kelvin timeline movies are pretty much locked where they are.

I never saw Star Trek Beyond since I didn’t merely dislike but outright hated its two immediate predecessors so much,

You should give it a shot. It really is in many ways the closest in tone to TOS.

Oh, I indeed intend to; that’s what I meant by “I’ll rectify that eventually in the name of completeness”. I do fully expect to enjoy it more than its predecessors. I doubt it’ll salvage the entire “series” for me given that I’ll still loathe two thirds of it, but I do want to have seen every production in the franchise at least once.

II,FC,VI,IV,BEY,III,GEN,TMP,09,INS,ID,V,NEM

The biggest reason why I put NEM at the bottom is as follows. I don’t mind watching The Final Frontier, whereas I have a hard time watching Nemesis.

Opinions, can, and will, vary.

There really isn’t a wrong answer, either. Just individual opinions.

Yay! I love everyone sharing their favorite Trek movies in order:

TWOK, First Contact, TSFS, TVH, Generations, TUC, Beyond, 09, TMP, Into Darkness, TFF, Ins. (I won’t even put Nemesis on this list since it’s so bad.)

II, FC, IV, 09, VI, III, TMP, ID, BEY, GEN, INS, NEM, V

But NEM and V could be reversed, depending on my mood. Both are neck-and-neck for being worst.

Since it seems we are doing this…

WoK TUC ST09 SFS NEM TMP FC BEY GEN STID INS TFF TVH

for me this is the layout best to worst fc,tuc,nem,gen,ins,twok,tsfs,tmp,tff,tvh and all time worst 09,id,bey and for the series best to worst dsc,pic,lds,pro,ent,ds9/voy,tng,tas,tos and once snw comes out the best to worst will be this dsc,pic,lds,pro,snw,ent,ds9/voy,tng,tas,tos

Nice, though I’ll likely skip Generations.

I skip the JJ films, I pretend they don’t exist. Into Darkness is the most vile film in the franchise IMO.

Agreed. Into Darkness was absolutely terrible.

The first half of Into Darkness is damned good, in my opinion. As soon as Cumberbatch announces he is Khan, it starts to go off the rails, and the ending is atrocious. I’d still rather watch it than V or Nemesis , no hesitation about that at all.

I will be honest, STID was the most entertaining of the Kelvin movies for me, at least it used to be. I rewatched all of them this year and wow it has REALLY slowed down for me. The last hour is looooong. I agree with you though, I still rather watch it than movies like Nemesis and TFF but its a badly written movie as those. It’s just much better made at least, certainly when compared to TFF lol.

I think I can agree to that. That movie really fell apart once it was known he was Khan.

That said, while it was easily the worst of the three KU flicks…. Their goal was the proper goal. Kirk needed to EARN the chair. They just went about it in a bad way. This reflects Secret Hideout today. The idea of different genres is sound. They have just approached it in a terrible way.

All thirteen are worth watching.

That’s the spirit!

Wish I had your enthusiasm. I will watch all the films from time to time but the only one I skip is TVH. I just find it really hard to watch without facepalming every 10 minutes.

My least favorites are Final Frontier and Motion Picture, but their is still a lot of good in both of them. Motion Picture is a beautiful movie with some great visuals. Final Frontier has a lot of funny scenes and some good character moments, even if the overall plot is dumb. I think Voyage Home is a bit overrated, but I find it to be a lot of fun, and it has some of the most quotable moments in the movies.

I think that way about TFF. It’s a bad concept badly executed but it did have it’s moments where the three showed their bond. Which I really liked.

…but with Paramount+ still offering a Stone Aged UX, if you manage to click around and actually find the Star Trek hub, it’s still only the shows.

They seem to have fixed that lately. I was having the same problem too, but the last week or so you type in Star Trek everything comes up. I noticed it at least since Prodigy started.

Sure, but the only dedicated hub you can click to is for the shows. By now they should get their act together and have some franchise hubs to reinforce why people should stick with their service.

They can start with Star Trek, Indiana Jones, Mission: Impossible, NCIS, CSI and Spongebob, and then eventually claw back the rights to things like South Park, Jack Ryan, Transformers and Garfield.

Oh you’re definitely speaking to the choir on that lol. I been whining about that here for months now. Yeah, it really bothers me there is a dedicated link for the Star Trek shows but for some reason doesn’t include the movies or the ONE documentary they have. Why is everything simply not together? Compare that to what you see on Disney+ or HBO Max where all their franchises have their own special sections or hubs is sad. For awhile, they did have all the Trek stuff at least listed in one area when the 55th anniversary arrived. That was up for a few weeks before it was gone again. And yes why not have hubs for MI, Transformers, Indiana Jones etc? Highlight your biggest brands like the others.

Paramount+ is definitely improving but its still waaaaay behind in many ways when compared to the big boys.

Has anyone else noticed the terrible sound mixing on TOS on Paramount+? You can barely hear Shatner’s voiceover on the opening credits in most episodes. This was never a problem on Netflix or AppleTV; it’s unique to Paramount+. You’d think the owners would take better care of their signature franchise.

THANK YOU! I thought I was going nuts, never hearing that voiceover at the proper sound level.

No, it was a problem on Netflix. It’s buried in the mix, which is awful because it’s so iconic and it loses all power when you can’t even hear it!

It seems to be a problem especially if you’re listening in stereo (rather than a surround sound system) https://twitter.com/StarTrekVisComp/status/1445387118369558536?s=20

I have TOS on BD so it’s never been a problem for me.

On Blu-ray it’s fine. CBS messed up the digital copies they give to streaming companies.

Perhaps so. I’ve never streamed anything I already own on BD.

Still waiting on the Director’s Edition of Khan, Paramount+. You already have that one in the can.

I’m thinking they may want to have a version of every movie, episode, and short on Paramount+ for the bulletpoint checklist appeal and its value as a selling point, but keep certain versions of certain productions available only on disc, as sort of an exclusive reward for those people who still buy physical editions. The DE of Khan could be one such thing. They might even do it eventually with the upcoming DE of TMP , despite it rolling out initially as a P+ exclusive – it might debut streaming on P+, have a brief period there as the latest P+ exclusive to attract new customers, then get a disc release for those who want it, and finally be dropped from P+ and remain available exclusively on disc. I don’t pretend to know that’s what they’ll do, but I could see them doing that.

Has the extended edition of TNG ‘s “The Measure of a Man” ever been offered for streaming or download anywhere, or has it only ever been available on disc? I’m not sure, but as far as I know it’s been disc-only since it first came out with the TNG S2 Blu-ray set nearly a decade ago (wow, I can’t believe it’s been that long already). I believe the DE of The Undiscovered Country has been streamed, though…

Oh my, I may just have had an inkling, the ultimate inkling. I’ve recently watched tons of astrophysics documentaries. The Big Bang Theory relies on the concept of the redshift being a result of universal expansion. It further relies on the existence of dark matter to explain a stronger gravity than expected and dark energy to compensate for the higher expansion rate of the universe.

But that expansion theory is based on the perception of the redshift in light from far away galaxies. Let’s take that expansion out of the equation.

What if the universe is indeed static and the redshift is caused by looking through uncountable layers of dark matter. The further a galaxy is remote from our position, the more its light waves are polarized by dark matter and shifted towards the infrared spectrum.

Over small distances that dark matter is virtually invisible but over such long distances, there is loads of that dark matter to gaze upon and that causes the redshift!

Dark matter is basically otherwise inexplicable gravity. If I’m correct, we can see it in the redshift. It isn’t inconceivable, invisible at all. It’s no longer in the dark but it is red! Hence we could call it RED MATTER!

And what does it do? It is utterly condensed gravity. If you were able to isolate it from its natural state even very small dosages could be sufficient to cause a massive gravitational singularity. Something like a black hole…

If any of that is true, ST09 would actually make a lot of sense. And not just that…

If there is no big bang but a static universe, the cosmic microwave background (CMB) may actually be a gaze upon the two-dimensional holographic projection matrix of the universe, a giant holodeck. And that holographic universe would explain inconsistencies between general relativity and quantum mechanics.

The Red Matter in its natural state surrounds us, binds us together… it may also be an “explanation” for something like the Force or even the Mycelium Network.

Now that’s interesting.

Something like how Warp drive in Trek speculation predates Alcubierre’s theory by three decades.

Would love to have Dr Erin Macdonald look at this one.

Maybe significant to some. Not to me. I have them all on BD. No need to rely on streaming. And it’s actually way easier to just pop the disc in the player and hit “play” than go through the hassle of casting to the TV. But hey, if that makes you youngsters happy, I get it.

This is not really aimed at people like us (although I don’t own any of the films today although I used to from TMP through First Contact).

You have to remember not everyone who watches Star Trek are A. hardcore fans or B. old fans. There could be many people who are watching the new shows for the first time like Picard, Discovery, Prodigy etc may not have ever seen a single film. Now they are there for them to watch as well and to get into. Paramount knows the hardcore has most of these films already, but its for the NEXT generation of fans as well.

And there are a lot of people who just want to watch a movie once and move on. That’s why streaming is a great option for people like this. They can now sample shows and movies they probably would never think to do otherwise. The reality is for most, buying movies and shows really do nothing but take up space after they watched the first time. I had tons of DVDs until I realized I wasn’t watching them lol. I bought them with the idea I would rewatch them of course but that just doesn’t really happen outside a few of them.

Wondering when those movies are available outside the US

My rankings based on personal enjoyment weighted with overall movie quality:

1. Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan 2. Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home 3. Star Trek: First Contact 4. Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country 5. Star Trek III: The Search for Spock 6. Star Trek: Generations 7. Star Trek: TMP (remastered) 8. Star Trek [2009] 9. Star Trek Beyond 10.Star Trek: Insurrection 11.Star Trek Into Darkness 12.Star Trek: Nemesis 13.Star Trek V: The Final Frontier

Inside the ‘Star Trek: Discovery’ Series Finale: The Last-Minute Coda, the Surprise Easter Eggs, and What Season 6 Would Have Been About (EXCLUSIVE)

SPOILER WARNING: This story includes descriptions of major plot developments on the series finale of “ Star Trek : Discovery,” currently streaming on Paramount+ .

Watching the fifth and final season of “ Star Trek: Discovery ” has been an exercise in the uncanny. Paramount+ didn’t announce that the show was ending until after the Season 5 finale had wrapped filming — no one involved with the show knew it would be its concluding voyage when they were making it. And yet, the season has unfolded with a pervasive feeling of culmination.

I would cancel Paramount Plus this month —here's why

T he start of a new month is a good time to take stock of streaming bills. There are so many streaming services now, and paying for all of them really adds up. Americans now pay an average of $46 a month for streaming services, according to Forbes — or a hefty $552 a year.

Luckily, it's really easy to save money on streaming by churning services, which entails canceling and signing up again later when the big, buzzy shows return.

For June 2024, I would cancel Paramount Plus. While it's a great service, with a deep library of originals and classic titles, this month's lineup is lackluster: no NFL, few must-see weekly episodes, and no tempting movie additions. While two major original series are returning, you can always catch up by resubscribing next month. Here's why I would recommend canceling Paramount Plus in June 2024.

Only 2 major Paramount Plus originals aren't enough to 'peak' my interest

Looking over Paramount Plus' monthly "View From the Peak" preview for June 2024 isn't particularly inspiring. While library content adds to a streaming service's value proposition, originals are what draw in and retain users. Unfortunately, Paramount has few enticing originals this month.

The headliner is "Mayor of Kingstown" season 3, which sees Jeremy Renner return to the screen following his near-fatal snowplow accident on New Year's Day 2023. The Marvel star is back in good form in the Taylor Sheridan drama after breaking more than 30 bones and undergoing multiple surgeries.

As Mike McLusky, the unofficial leader of a town where the main business is incarceration, he has new problems on his hands, like a recently arrived Russian mob boss and a drug war raging inside and outside prison walls. His attempts to keep the peace among all the factions are threatened by a familiar face from his past.

The other major Paramount Plus original this month is "Criminal Minds: Evolution" season 2, which continues the revival of the long-running CBS procedural.

In the wake of season 1's shocking finale, the FBI's elite team of profilers investigates the deadly mystery of Gold Star. As the conspiracy unfolds, the Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU) runs into an unexpected complication when serial killer Elias Voit (Zach Gilford) negotiates a deal that transfers him to federal custody in their own backyard.

As much as we want to cheer on Renner's recovery, neither "Mayor of Kingstown" nor "Criminal Minds: Evolution" — or even both — are truly must-see TV. Also, both will be dropping episodes weekly, so you would need to pay for two or more months to watch the entire season. Better to cancel Paramount Plus for now, then resubscribe later and binge the whole thing.

CBS shows are done for the season

One of the best things about Paramount Plus is access to CBS shows as they air. You can either watch episodes the next day or view them live if you get the premium Paramount Plus With Showtime tier.

But most CBS shows have finished their seasons. That includes "Survivor," "NCIS," "Ghosts," "Fire Country," "Tracker," "FBI" and "The Amazing Race."

In June, CBS is mostly airing reruns. They've also got a few specials on the schedule, like the 51st Annual Daytime Emmy Awards on June 7 and the 77th Annual Tony Awards on June 16. Their big summer show, "Big Brother," doesn't premiere until July. And if you want to watch any of the above, you can watch CBS for free the old-fashioned way — with a TV antenna .

The ad-supported Paramount Plus essential tier is $6 (the ad-free Showtime tier is $12). That may not sound like a lot but churning out various streaming services throughout the year can save you over $100. Spend it on holiday shopping or a treat for yourself.

Star Trek: Discovery comes to an end

The final episode of "Star Trek: Discovery" airs on May 30, which had a pretty good 5-season run. This last season has seen the crew race around the galaxy to discover the progenitor's technology, which was used to create life all over the universe — and which could be used to opposite ends if it falls into the wrong hands.

"Star Trek: Lower Decks" season 5 isn't scheduled to air until later this year, and "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" isn't expected to air its third season until 2025, so unless you want to binge "Picard" or older series, there's nothing new for Trekkies.
