All access is now going to be available as an Amazon add on channel. Initially only the $10 commercial free tier is there, but they will add the $5.99 commercial free one later. This is good as one of my gripes with all access was the apps and quality. Amazon makes the value proposition much better. http://variety.com/2018/digital/news/cbs-all-access-amazon-prime-channel-1202654346/

Yeah I don't want 47 subscriptions in separate apps on my TV. I'm still not big on All Access or Discovery, but if I were, this would be a somewhat easier pill to swallow.

It's how I handle my premium channels. I add the sub for a few months to watch whatever and then remove it until something else comes up. I still think $2 more a month than Showtime is a racket. However, this also means that Discovery will likely have 5.1 audio and decent bitrate now! I'm not opposed to paying for quality, but all access though their own app was way over priced. Now, this is slightly over priced. But the quality should be such that I may be able to stomach it.

This isn't me throwing shade in any way but I remember people screaming for a la carte pricing about 5-10 years ago and how bundles needed to go away. Then some monkey's paw poo poo happened and now look where we are. I'd certainly be interested to see if Amazon's app delivers better quality than the CBS one because that thing is just wretched sometimes. It's a shame because Discovery for all of it's flaws looks really drat gorgeous sometimes.

Ala carte doesn't necessarily mean scattered providers though. My perfect world would have Amazon channels for all the major networks. Give me an NBCU channel that gives me Syfy and USA programming. Give me a Viacom one that gives Comedy Central give me a Fo....ahem... Disney Amazon channel for FX and FXX. Etc. I do have a skinny bundle with FiOS right now and it's fantastic since I can opt out of all the sports channels and their associated fees. Too bad about image quality though which has been in the pits lately. bull3964 fucked around with this message at 22:31 on Jan 5, 2018 |

Assignment Earth is a fascinating little thing to watch though, if only for the casual time travel by the Enterprise crew to set up the premise. It also reminds me a little bit of Saphire and Steel which is always fun.

Q_res posted:Yes, a Cube would strip each planet in star system entirely bare (it would actually ruin the planet so it was less valuable if you tried to recolonize later) one-by-one and spawn a new Cube once it wiped out the whole system. Which was awesome, because it would take BoBW sized fleets to beat a single Cube. Unless you were the Romulans, or sufficiently teched up Klingons.

A bunch of people in this thread called / wished for this: Seth MacFarlane says season 2 of The Orville will probably be more straightforward sci-fi and not try so hard for comedy all the time. So yeah, he pretty much Trojan Horsed a new Star Trek show onto Fox.

I'm trying the 3 day trial of All-Access through amazon. The quality is quite a bit better than CBS's streams AND you get 5.1 audio.

Timby posted:I was thinking of Armada My best memories of Armada were boarding and taking over Borg ships as the Klingons (who are just as good in boarding actions as the Borg in that game) and getting a fleet of cubes shouting "I THIRST FOR BATTLE!" and "Till STO-VO-KOR!" when I clicked on them.

So yeah, he pretty much Trojan Horsed a new Star Trek show onto Fox. That's really good news. I'm not a fan of most of Seth MacFarlane's work, but I like The Orville and this is a really solid bit of introspection about the series: quote:Tone was the biggest experimental part of it. What we found was that we can lean a little more heavier into the science fiction and not have to worry so much about knocking out a joke every page. The show is an hour and really can and wants to service its storytelling in a way that makes it a priority. The jokes come as they come, the comedy comes as it comes. The biggest problem with the show isn't even that the humor is bad, it's just that it outside of a few moments that mostly revolve around Bortus it never feels organic. It was obvious they felt like they needed to meet some kind of jokes per scene quota, and dialing that back is great. I'm excited for season two.

I am watching through tng for the first time. It is good, I enjoyed the episode with will and Thomas that I just watched. Borg are scary. I don't like Wesley. Worf and Data are the best. Gawron also rocks. My hot takes. Besides this I've seen scattered voyager, enterprise, and all of discovery.

Tunicate posted:Borg cubes are all greebly on the outside because they just slap the crunched-up remains on whatever ships they kill on the outer hull and start wiring them up to experiment. That would have been great to see in BoBW Pt 2, if the cube was covered in scavenged wreckage of Starfleet ships from Wolf 359.

Shatner's (ghostwriter's) book The Return was dumb in a lot of ways but one cool thing was where it described a Borg cube after a big Wolf 359-level battle and it looked just like this. The surface was covered in a bunch of wrecked hulks attached to the hull in various stages of assimilation, from being swarmed over by drones like ants in the early stages of breakdown to just vaguely hull-shaped blobs of panels and conduits melding into the cube's mass.
