  1. It’s just… wrong.

    And I won’t be watching it for $7 a month, when the rest of the world outside of the US and Canada can see it for free on Netflix.

    Screw you, CBS.

  2. Again, will someone from CBS please clarify if this series will be available on VOD to cable subscribers. I already pay more than enough to Altice USA and CBS/WCBS each month through cable programming and retransmission fees. Spending an extra $7 is double dipping and this trekkie will not pay it, and stop watching other CBS programming. Clarification is needed if anyone from CBS Brodacasting is reading this newsletter.
