Paramount Home Media Readies DVD And Blu-ray Collections Of Star Trek: Discover – Season One For Delivery To Fans On Nov. 13


DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey
At last!  At last!   

One of the most anticipated home entertainment announcements of 2018 took place this past week when Paramount Home Media revealed that the CBS All Access anchor series, Star Trek: Discover – Season One, will be available as both DVD and Blu-ray product offerings on Nov. 13.    
    
All 15-episodes will be available as a four-disc collection.   The good news is that the series has been renewed for a second season, which should begin airing on the CBS All Access platform in early 2019.

This Star Trek series was a tough one to launch in that it takes place roughly ten years before Captain Kirk, Spock and the rest of the crew of USS Enterprise began their five-year mission way, way back in 1966.   Film technology has advanced dramatically in the past 50 years, so the cheesy look of the sets and adventures from that period simply could not be the mainstay of the new production, otherwise it would look like a Saturday Night Live skit.   

So the new starship, USS Discovery, even though it is a predecessor to the Enterprise, looks more advanced.   Bigger budget, better film technology, so there is nothing you can do about that.
DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey


The other problem — and “problem” is perhaps a poor choice of words — is that the history of the “Star Trek Universe” is well defined.   Vulcans, Klingons, Romulans — and eventually The Borg — are all part of the mythology of the series.   You can’t just change all of that and still keep it a Star Trek series.  

The challenge of writing adventures within that context soon became a problem as conflicts between CBS and the original production team, most notably, Bryan Fuller, led to changes and a delay in the launch of the series.

With the arrival of Star Trek: Discover – Season One and a new cast of characters, including Sonequa Martin-Green (perhaps best known as Sasha from The Walking Dead) as Science Specialist Michael Burnham, Jason Isaacs as Captain Gabriel Lorca and Doug Jones as First Office Saru, the fan base had to adapt to backstories of the new arrivals.   The general consensus is that it is a work in progress, with season two giving all involved a chance to settle in and make mid-course corrections.

DVD & Blu-ray Release Report, Ralph Tribbey
Nevertheless, the arrival of Star Trek: Discover – Season One on DVD and Blu-ray on Nov. 13 from Paramount Home Media and CBS Home Entertainment remains one of most anticipated home entertainment arrivals of the year.   Period!

As to bonus goodies, there are deleted and extended scenes and a whopping ten production featurettes — “Discovering Discovery: The Concepts and Casting of Star Trek: Discovery,” “The Star Trek Theme,” “Creature Comforts,” “Designing Discovery,” “Creating Space,” “Prop Me Up,” “Feeding Frenzy,” “A Female Touch,” “Dress for Success” and “Star Trek Discovery: The Voyage of Season One.”
