‘Star Trek: Lower Decks’ Season 3 Available For Free On YouTube, Prime Video And Pluto TV In USA

Any reason for me to not use Paramount.
- Seriously, why is the app just so bad?
  
  So I see that YouTube is offering a free trial (USA) of Showtime + Paramount Plus... for 7 days. Does that mean I get to use YouTube's streaming/app?
- Is the next season on Paramount? In the UK the first three seasons are all on Disney plus.
  Strange New World is on Paramount, but not Lower Decks.
- I'd watch more of Paramount than Netflix and what's not to love about more Trek

I have tried a few times but just cannot enjoy this show
- That's okay!
- First half of season 1 I couldn't stand the characters, but I feel they settle down after that then it gets really good then! But to each their own!

  I’ve never watched Lower Decks and probably won’t. But, the SNW crossover was one of the most entertaining shows I’ve ever seen. At least it was for me.
- But have you watched the strange new worlds crossover episode?
  
  @EeyoreSyndrome @incendiaryperihelion
  I saw that with no knowledge of Lower Decks. It was an instant favorite. My wife cares little for Star Trek but she sat down and laughed along with me.
  
  I just watched that one, but haven't watched the LD show. I enjoyed the episode knowing what it was (especially when they cartooned the SNW crew) but I'm not sure if I'd enjoy the show, they were quite annoying and didn't respect the chain of command enough 😂
- What is it that you don’t like?
  
  I think it was largely a miss with the humor for me. It seemed like it was mostly just referential humor, just kind of "hey I watched star trek" but without substance. I dont love the animation style either, but that's not been an issue for me in the past so long as the writing was entertaining enough

They seem to have pulled Season 3 here in Germany even though it was marketed as an "Amazon Original". Seasons 1 and 2 are still on Prime. Pretty disappointed because I just started a rewatch.

  This licensing bullshit is really making me furious, from all streaming services nowadays
  
  Arr. It be a problem matey.
- Here in Italy season 3 is only for "premium" on prime.
  The state of streaming services is embarrassing.
- It’s all moved to Paramount+ and SkyShowtime.

- Quark and Otto on a mountain for 1 hour.
  I would 100% watch a spinoff starring Armin Shimerman and Alfred Molina as Quark and Otto Octavius, just hanging out on a mountain and chatting for an hour.
  
  Throw in Garak and I’m hooked.
- I don't agree with you, but have an upvote because some morons are downvoting you not because you are not contributing to an opinion exchange, but just because they think different.
  Those downvotes stink of Reddit.
  We can be better.
  
  Lol no we can't.
- Man, I'm sorry you feel this way. You're really missing out.
- I completely agree with you, I feel like this about all nu trek. Star trek enterprise was the last star trek that was star trek and anything produced since has been star drek.
  I tried watching the dumb pew pew movies I really did. They are ALL godawful and have nothing to do with star trek.
  I tried watching STD, I really did. I dropped out somewhere S2 in disgust.
  I tried watching Picard, I really did. They ruined Picard and data. Then they ruined Guinan and Q. Then they ruined the entire TNG cast.
  I stopped watching star trek, all of it, for a long time now because of that shite.it used to be my most favorite show, I have dozens of books, miniature ships, games and whatnot.
  I switched to the Orville. It started as a sort of parody and then accidentally or not became the best trek made in the past 20 years
  
  Have you watched lower decks or strange new worlds? Strange new worlds is in my opinion easily the most "star trek" of the newer shows and I think it's excellent. Lower decks is obviously a cartoon but it too manages to somehow feel more like star trek than discovery and often Picard and it's just a lot of fun and seems to be self aware enough to make it silly while still feeling like Star Trek.
  The orville is also great and great star trek, too bad it's very likely not returning for more.
- working out their differences
  Did you watch the same episode I did? They didn't work out anything at all. That was what made it so special.

... I'm probably not the first to point out that Star Trek they do a lot of walking, they don't go transporting everywhere. Why wouldn't the Golden Gate be a pedestrian crossing... just for the view. I don't get why you would write it that way, it isn't really humor, it's just lazy.
EDIT: ok, the Ketracel-white hot sauce was the quality of joke I was expecting ;) The NOLA culture stuff is great.
