What on Earth is Pluto TV?

 

Appears to be a free streaming service with ads owned and operated by ViacomCBS, who also own Paramount. So this is essentially them putting Discovery on the only streaming service they own that works in the UK until Paramount+ launches.

 

Conceding that they screwed up in the lamest fashion possible.

I’d never heard of it, so just looked it up, and it’s halfway through showing What We Left Behind, which I’ve wanted to see for ages. 

 

If they'd put it on a decent streaming service Kurtzman and his bunch of sycophants might have actually seen it. 

 

Then maybe we wouldn't have this shitshow of a show.

So we have to be on the service at a particular time of day? Like TV BEFORE VHS?!??! Wow.

That Pluto TV thing is completely mental, I'd never heard of it before. I've just had a look and they've got hundreds of channels, all filled with the cheapest drivel you can imagine. It's got all the inconvenience of broadcast TV combined with the shoddy picture quality of a cheap streaming service, plus you can't record the programmes or skip the adverts.

 

Apart from news bulletins, I don't think I've watched a "live" TV programme in ten years or more. The whole concept of having to sit down at a specific time to watch something for an uninterrupted period of time is just archaic. Pluto TV is easily the worst TV "service" I've ever seen, and it's therefore absolutely Star Trek: Discovery's spiritual home.

I know the episode was more about the characters, but in terms of plot this week's episode might as well have not existed. You could have covered it in about thirty seconds in a TNG episode.

 

Spoiler

"Scan the anomaly!"

"Scanning. We've determined it's heading mark 134.2. Wait, its heading has changed!"

"What could have caused that?"

"Nothing in known physics!"

 

Instead the episode constructs a whole drama around the act of a simple scan, and while once again I thought it was okay for what it was, it was a bit drawn out. Also I might have missed something here, but while the anomaly is clearly rather large, unless it's travelling faster than light then surely there must be quite a lot of time to sort out some kind of response?

 

Oh, and what happened to first officer Tilly? It makes almost as little sense for "Mr. Saru" to take the position, but did something happen for Tilly to lose it?

The programme makers don't care.
