Paramount+ Boldly Posts Star Trek: Picard, Discovery, Lower Decks Eps
While you were most likely sleeping (with much love to folks working the overnight shift, with insomnia, or whatever reason you may have found yourself awake in the middle of the night), CBS All Access sprung from its streaming cocoon and emerged… Paramount+! While we recognize that would've been much more impressive with music behind it, that doesn't detract from today being the day that ViacomCBS rebrands its streaming service with buckets worth of content available now and on the way. To make sure everyone's joining in on the festivities, Paramount+ posted a number of full episodes from the streamer's past library of originals (as well as a new episode or two)- including a great opportunity for new "Star Trek" fans as well as those who haven't checked out other parts of the franchise's universe with the premiere episodes of Picard, Discovery and Lower Decks now available.
Here's your chance to celebrate "Happy Paramount+ Day!" (that's a thing, right?), check out Star Trek: Picard "Remembrance," Star Trek: Discovery "The Vulcan Hello," and Star Trek: Lower Decks "Second Contact"- at least for now since we have a feeling that they won't stay up forever:
Star Trek: Picard Season 1, Episode 1 "Remembrance": At the end of the 24th century, and 14 years after his retirement from Starfleet, Jean-Luc Picard is living a quiet life on his vineyard, Chateau Picard.

Culpepper, teleplay by Akiva Goldsman and James Duff, and story by Akiva Goldsman, Michael Chabon, Kirsten Beyer, Alex Kurtzman, and James Duff.
