It was a social media comment elsewhere. (From a user in one the Science Fiction communities here on Lemmy.)
I agree it would be a major change in the relationship with Bell Media for Canada. That said, it didn’t seem likely that Crave could retain its exclusive licence indefinitely as Paramount+ Canada should also be running the shows eventually.
We still have CTV Sci-fi Channel on Fibe, and still see all the classic shows in the forward 2 week schedule on Fibe. So I couldn’t validate.
You may be still able to purchase episodes on Amazon or Apple for downloading until they are pulled on Tuesday.
I’ve seen that much of Crave’s Star Trek catalogue is coming off in July.
You would need to look in the app to see if there’s some kind of last day notification.
Complete it by Tuesday if you can.
Lack of completion seems to have really been hurting the show.
There are many fans who post that they didn’t find the early episodes Trekkie enough and bailed, but they didn’t seem to consider that this show was designed to draw in kids and families who are more familiar with other franchises and provide them the bridge to get into Star Trek.
Your mileage may vary applies.
I liked a lot of Discovery season one, others have a viscerally different reaction.
This is asking for creators to only create their peak work.
They’re human beings and when a team of writers, producers, directors and actors come together and it works, it’s likely to work at peak level more often.
As we’ve seen with more Star Trek shows than not, it takes some time before we get peak episodes in any series - setting aside that what defines peak Star Trek varies widely across the fanbase and broader audience.
It’s rather hard to say it ‘really stings’ when the creatives are putting out their best efforts every time.
I’m finding the same. There seems to have been and in some cases still is some kind of syncing issue.
There are even a few cases where I’ve subscribed to other communities on the same instance and content is loading through without difficulty.
For one instance, I unsubscribed and resubscribed after a couple of days and then started to see some posts and comments, but for others they are still empty even though I can see through browsing the Lemmy Community-Browser that there is activity from instances we are federated with.
The promotion hasn’t been what it could and the merchandising came very, very late.
Fair enough but canceling TAS didn’t advance Phase II, mimeoed fanzine claims notwithstanding.
I took as needling the Vulcan Jag…which he couldn’t resist. The set-up was his uncontrolled outburst in the Enterprise mess.
Not sure that I would rank TNG Measure of a Man or The Drumhead ahead of SNW Ad Astra Per Aspera.
Only rewatches and time will determine the final place of Ad Astra Per Aspera in the franchise, but I have a sense that it will become as significant or more than either of the TNG ones. While the decision was taken on the narrow application of an asylum provision for one individual, in terms of allegory, the episode echoes with the experiences of so very many marginalized groups and peoples.
Update - I have seen what the user on the Science Fiction Community was concerned about!
This is huge if not just an error in the Crave web pages.
If you go to the Crave pages for the various Star Trek shows, at the bottom there are ‘available to’ notices:

— Picard is available to July 31st
— Discovery to July 31st
— Lower Decks to July 31st
