>According to a conference call held with reporters by CBS’s president, Les Moonves, the new Star Trek series will debut in January 2017, with one episode released per week. It’s not much different from how CBS airs its programs now, except that “All Access” will cost an extra $6 a month.
>The news that Star Trek was returning to TV excited devoted fans of the franchise, but online chatter mostly focused on how quickly they’d be able to watch the season before unsubscribing from the service. The fan site TrekCore acknowledges, sadly, that such a “binge and bail” tactic won’t be possible—which is exactly what CBS wants.
Dead on arrival

This level of retarded corporate shit is almost enough to make me go from Republican to Communist
Has CBS made a right move in the last decade?
Why are they racing to the bottom?

>implying "binge watching" a show in one day like a lazy NEET is preferable to waiting in anticipation every week for a new episode
This is a step in the right direction.

Have I been taken for a ruse cruise?
This devolved into meme sludge pretty fast, maybe a new record

considering all modern shows end every episode with a cliffhanger it makes sense to want to watch it all at once. Trek episodes are always self-contained. there's no reason to watch it all at once. in fact, it's probably a bad idea to do so. you need to 'cleanse your pallet' between episodes

>you need to 'cleanse your pallet' between episodes
Sure, if you're a pleb
>>69108138yesbut my point is valid, people nowadays are too spoiled by being able to watch an entire season of a show in one day and then have to wait an entire year for more episodes they'll watch, again, in just 13-14 hours
>>69108342
How come shows likeDr Whoare able to keep a weekly episodic format with only little hints of a story arc while still maintaining a large audience?
American shows are so obsessed with holding peoples' attention after the second episode that they'll have pointless cliffhangers every week.

Nothing to do with being a NEET even. I'd just rather watch one season of a show over a couple of evenings than watch whatever single episodes happen to be on those days.

Sure, if you're trying to get through Voyager

So it's Star Trek?
>>69109214
Mainstream human religions got BTFO as early as the ENT era
If they hadn't Bashir would have been the muslim character
>>69109577the joke is that it's progressive for christianity and judaism to disappear but not islam
That's okay CBS. I'll just steal it instead :)
