303 - Paramount Plus Problems

Ceti Alpha 3: A Star Trek Podcast

The Past, Present, and Future of Star Trek Streaming
The Great Trek War begins. Or so it seems.
Fans were shook when it was announced that not only was "Star Trek: Prodigy" seemingly canceled (with a season two still hanging in post-production), but that it would be almost instantly removed from Paramount+. Only a few days later, episodes 11-20 of "Star Trek: Prodigy" no longer existed in any format (except for purchase as a digital download on a few services).
The trio tackles this debacle, as well as a recent "glitch" that caused season four of "Star Trek: Enterprise" to disappear from Paramount+ for 48 hours in at least the US and UK, as well as a season three episode that remained missing for almost a week.
How have we watched Trek in the past? And what does the nebulous future of Paramount and streaming mean for how we'll watch Trek in the future? And what is the future of a franchise in the absence of a dedicated streaming service? Join us as we consider how to watch Trek before the advent of the Eugenics Wars.
