The thing about the Short Treks is, we know that one of the new batch of 6 is a Picard short, and two of them are animated, so my assumption when they were announced was that Paramount would drop the Picard one on the Picard season 1 Blu, then hold off the 3 Disco-centric ones for the Discovery season 3 home release, and the animated ones for a potential Lower Decks DVD/Blu.
With the first batch of Short Treks though, there's really nowhere else for them to go - if they're not all included here, I'm not sure what they'd be holding the other two back for. As I said, perhaps Calypso will have some season 3 tie-in after all, but even then that still leaves the Mudd one, which surely wouldn't go anywhere but the season 2 Blu. Very strange.

In reading everyone's comments about the Short Treks after reading the press release about Season Two, I'd like to think CBS will release a comprehensive Short Treks title, but the fact that they've included two that are plot specific to the season-long arc of Season Two gives me pause. That, and that hard media is a dying market as far as the studios are concerned.
I have my fingers crossed that "Calypso" will find a home on the Season Three release due to it having some narrative tie-in to the season. And it sounds like most of the upcoming six new short episodes could find a home on home video release one day. And as for the Mudd one, if there is no Short Treks stand-alone release, I'm already prepared to accept that consequence. It wouldn't fit on a Picard release and with the Discovery so far in the future, it makes no sense to see Mudd this season. But since I'm a subscriber, there's always CBS All Access to watch it on...

I have Season 1 on SteelBook so I originally hoped the same for Season 2. But I've loaned the discs out to friends, keeping my SteelBook with me so they wouldn't be responsible for damaging it, and it's kind of nuisance. LOL So now I'm sort of glad there may not be an SB.
