Star Trek: Discovery

 

Can’t wait for Star Trek:Discovery!  It starts September 24 2017 on CBS All Access.  CBS is investing in it as a vehicle for promoting their All Access channel.  From the trailers, it looks pretty good.  http://www.treknews.net/2017/08/08/star-trek-discovery-promo-boldly-go/

 

CBS is starting All Access with one trial week free, $5.99 with limited commercials and $9.99 commercial free for on-demand. Like Hulu it will have all of its prime network series, but including the current season. Frankly I don’t spend that much time watching shows, but I’ll sign on just for Star Trek!

Star Trek: Discovery was well represented at the Star Trek Convention at Las Vegas 2017.  Here’s a link to the panel with the writers Kirsten Beyer and Ted Sullivan and executive producer Akiva Goldman.  STLV ST Discovery Writers  These guys have serious Star Trek creds!

 

ALERT!!  SAMSUNG SMART TVS CAN’T SHOW CBS ALL ACCESS EPISODES!!

As of 8/14/2017 I’ve spend hours trying to get CBS All Access on my Samsung Smart TV.  I installed the right CBS apps, but get to a message that I need Adobe Flash 10 to view episodes.  Samsung says “Adobe Flash cannot be installed on the TVs. Adobe removed their support on all mobile applications. ”

A workaround? Buy a Roku or Firestick.  Grrrrrrrr
However I can get All Access episodes on my Samsung smartphone and tablet by getting the app:
