Star Trek: Discovery season three review – its most thoughtful series yet

Friday, 16 October 2020, 14:00:10
Opening on a broken world where hope seems to be the only thing left, the latest chapter in Trek lore is likely to strike a chord with viewers in 2020 After three seasons, Star Trek: Discovery has got around to boldly going where no one had gone before – namely 900 years into the future, far beyond the time periods charted out with extensive lore by other Trek shows. This decision, and the accompanying hypnotic space worms, disreputable space bazaars and alluring space rogues, comes as a great relief. Discovery has been hemmed in since its inception by everything else bearing the Star Trek name. The show was originally set 10 years before the original series, in a parallel universe populated by the characters of the current Trek movie franchise, also named Kirk and Spock, rather than the versions played by William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy – though not played by the actors in the recent films, either – and if that all sounds confusing, and possibly not worth spelunking through Wikipedia to work out, then good.

Read the investor deck that steaming service CuriosityStream used in a SPAC merger that injected $180m into the company

Wednesday, 14 October 2020, 14:16:54
Summary List Placement Media companies are jumping into SPACs. SPACs, or special-purpose acquisition companies, are shell companies created specifically to acquire firms and an increasingly popular way for companies including media and advertising ones to go public. SPACs allow companies to avoid some of the scrutiny, time and cost of the traditional IPO process by merging with a shell company. For advertising and media companies, which are having a harder time getting funding, SPACs’ appeal is that they allow companies to raise money for growth and acquisitions. CuriosityStream, a 5-year-old streaming service founded by former Discovery Communications founder John Hendricks, plans to go public this week through a reverse merger with Software Acquisition Group, a SPAC led by Jonathan Huberman, who formerly led video adtech firm Ooyala. CuriosityStream focuses on factual content like documentaries and features, with more than 3,100 titles available, including 900 original titles. It reports 13 million paying subscribers buying monthly and yearly subscriptions that range from $3 a month to $70 a year, with 80% of new members choosing an annual plan.
