    "So why, after all these years of feeding off his father's works, and hamstringing further attempts at filming his father's works, does Christopher suddenly give the ok to film other stories, to his old nemesis New Line, of all people?"

    This.
    They are going to kill the "golden goose" with their greed. We don't need tons of separate (with their own charges, and software interfaces) streaming services with their own exclusives that might be worth watching, buts tons of crap not worth anyone's time as the bulk...

    CBS finally gets a show that would get me to click over to their local affiliate, only to lock it behind a paywall streaming service.

    Haven't watched anything on CBS in decades...

    Don't care if they kill themselves, it's when they hurt others that we have a problem.

    Seriously, every auto fatality involves a car, but not every fatality involves a smartphone.

    Tempted to agree, but I don;t even want to reward them with eyes by torrenting it. Skipping this one, as will many, and that will help kill it fast.

    Of course, CBS greed won't take the blame like it should, they'll just "There's no market for Star Trek" rather than admit their own greed helped kill them....

    THIS.

    Used CDs are dirt cheap (not just used music stores, but Garage sales, etc). Plus you have the CDs as back up, you rip the tracks snas any DRM.

    You get to choose the play order, the songs in the list, no censorship, etc...AND no monthly fees. Plus you don't need cell signal or WiFi and don;t have to worry about connection speed from overuse of the bandwidth...
