"Star Trek: Picard" Premiere "Remembrance" Available Free on YouTube – For Now [VIDEO]
If you're still on the fence about subscribing, CBS All Access wants to remove any doubt by making one of the most highly-anticipated series premieres of 2020 available for free: Star Trek: Picard premiere episode "Remembrance" is now avaialble on the streaming service's YouTube channel – but only for a limited time (see below).
"Star Trek: Picard" Synopsis
The series continues the adventures of Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart), the former Starfleet admiral, who finds renewed purpose to adventure in space again. With a mix of franchise favorites like Data (Brent Spiner) and Seven (Jeri Ryan) and new faces like Dr. Agnes Jurati (Alison Pill) and Raffi Musiker (Michelle Hurd), Picard looks to go where no other Star Trek series has gone before.
The story of Picard picks up years following the events of 2009's Star Trek. Jean-Luc attempted to launch a rescue operation for their once sworn enemy, the Romulans. Their star expanded to a supernova dooming their home planet of Romulus. Both missions to stop the supernova and subsequent rescue operations failed, which lead to the former captain of the U.S.S. Enterprise to resign from Starfleet.
