I just noticed that "Episode 1 of
Star Trek: Picard" is available free on YouTube.for a "limited time", and I thought it appropriate to post the news here, as a personal salute to Brett Tabke, WebmasterWorld's founder and owner.
I suspect I'd be guessing correctly to think that Star Trek in part inspired Brett's interest in things technical, bringing about this forum, and also PubCon and beyond. Note...

CBS has made the entirety of the first episode of its new series Star Trek: Picard freely and publicly available as a YouTube video. This is an opportunity for viewers curious about the show to see if Picard is worth subscribing to the network's streaming service, CBS All Access, to watch the rest of the series....
...The description for the video says the episode will only be available "for a limited time" and that it's presented by Geico. It does not, however, clarify how long "a limited time" is or when the video might become unavailable.
There's some speculation in the ArsTechnica article that the other episodes, which CBS will release weekly, might eventually become available for free on YouTube.
