How do you get 9 panels in 3.5 hours?
15 minute panels
Practice, man, practice!
Well.. this blows away that guy who was claiming they were dumping Trek… nope.. it is still going strong
How are they going to dump it when it’s basically half the line up on CBS All Access?
Exactly.. It is the biggest thing driving people to All Access
I really wish CBS All Access was a better app. As much as I love Star Trek Discovery and Picard, I never keep rhe app past the season. Do better CBS.
It’s worse in Canada. Bell Media owns airing rights to CBS’ big shows in Canada (like Discovery) and are strictly aired on Bell’s CraveTV (Bell’s pathetic overpriced attempt of Netflix). So, if we get the Canadian version of CBS All Access, Star Trek Discovery is not on it. Back when it was new, CBS All Access Canada wouldn’t even air Big Bang Theory.
The Star Trek shows air on the CTV SciFi channel (formerly Space).
They have been adding more to it.. they have a bunch of MTV shows on there now.. and a selection of Paramount movies
Awesome! Hopefully the panel will never be taken down from their YouTube channel unlike galaxycon which has done so on some TNG panels!
Love the whole lineup, I’m putting it in my calendar! It IS a little disappointing that Avery Brooks (DS9) iconic voice won’t be in attendance.
As long as everything goes smoothly unlike the Comic-Con@Home panel that went dark for 20 Mins when was live. Love that Wil Wheaton will be one of the moderators.
Question? If this was Monday, it would be a holiday in the US. But it’s on Tuesday, where people will be at work. Or at least I will be. Are the panels recorded for later viewing? Or if you can’t watch at the time it’s streamed, oh well!
As long as they are announcing the arrival of the USS Aventine in Packard along with Capt Dax
