It was nice while it lasted. But it seems you're now owned by mercenaries who put even the Ferengi to shame:
Star Trek on Paramount+ on Twitter: "To our international #StarTrekDiscovery fans...… "[^]
Less than two days before Discovery season 4 was due to air on Netflix, and suddenly all Star Trek content has been pulled. It will be available "at some point" next year, but only if you subscribe to the new Paramount+ streaming service. 
Yeah, just what we need: another single-show streaming service.
Now, which way to the bay of pirates?

It used to be that people feared that capitalism / communism / democracy / liberalism / dictatorship* would take over the whole world.
But the reality is worse: accountants rule the world, and they know the cost of everything and the value of nothing ...

I can't help feeling these particular accountants have one too many "o"s in their job title. ![Sunshine | [little ray of sunshine]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/sunshine.gif)

No huge loss. I keep saying it's too bad Star Trek died before it could reach its 50th anniversary.
Because what's been produced since, even though it says "Star Trek" somewhere in the title, bears no resemblance whatsoever to what Gene Roddenberry had in mind. It started with the Jar-Jar Abrams movies, and only went downhill from there.

I quite liked Discovery.
But there's lots of box sets I've never watched on Netflix and Amazon Prime so I won't be getting another streaming service!

I posted because I didn't think it was right - don't get the plotting bit

The 'plotters' was a back reference / homage to your CCC of yesterday ... "Plot a clever and brilliant autumn leaf at first (5)"
The word 'Cable' is almost a homophone (sound-alike) for Cabal; so, not a cabal car.

That explains a lot...last week I started for CodeProject and ended up ordering 1-1/2 tons of dog food off Amazon. WTF, I don't even have a dog, but I now have a dog house!
