Paramount+ Is Star Trek's Exclusive Home For Streaming

Paramount+ (at least in the US), has now completed their efforts to become the exclusive home of all Star Trek series. Its not clear if that includes the movies just yet. For a long time Deeps Space Nine, Voyager and more enjoyed a long run on Netflix where new fans discovered the series and at least in the case of DS9, led to a new appreciation of them. 

The chance at streamers accidently discovering the shows may be significantly reduced now as ViacomCBS continues to bring all their intellectual property under one roof much like other media conglomerates are doing for their streaming services (Disney+, Peacock, etc.). On the other hand, if paying for Paramount+, it does provide a convenient one stop shop to binge any and all things Star Trek. I have a modest proposal. The service should implement a "random episode" stream that just presents a randomly chosen episode from all the series including the modern era, updated to include new episodes after they air.
