If you have not had a chance to see the new Star Trek series, Discovery, now’s your chance. I wasn’t a fan of the show being on yet another streaming service when I already subscribe to Amazon Prime, Netflix and Hulu, but I broke down and subscribed to view the series. While it was good, there simply wasn’t enough on the CBS All Access streaming service to warrant my staying with it after the show ended and I won’t be signing up with them again next season either. Sorry CBS. I will try and be more patient and buy or rent the DVD/Blu-ray when it comes out. I know many people will be happy this series is coming to DVD and Blu-ray. Just wifh one of the features was a dubbed version so we would not have to hear all the mush-mouthed Klingons trying (and failing) to speak Klingon.
Some warnings: Loads of violence (there is a war on with the Klingons after all), language (they use the F-word twice! and a bunch of garbled Klingon) and there are *whispers* gay people in this show.
Marking the return of one of the most iconic and influential global television franchises in history, the debut season of STAR TREK: DISCOVERY: SEASON ONE arrives on Blu-ray and DVD November 13 from CBS Home Entertainment and Paramount Home Media Distribution. The four-disc Blu-ray and DVD collections will feature all 15 Season One episodes of the CBS All Access original series, along with a trove of compelling featurettes and other special features.
