Awesome. I really enjoyed season 1.

It's weird that they mention two of the four Short Treks my name and don't mention the other two.
Surely they wouldn't release Only two of the four

You'd think... they should... They could be on it and just only mention those two because they're the only ones that directly interact with the main show (Runaway is with the Po girl that helps because of Tilly later, Brightest Star is about Saru and his sister). Or maybe only include those two for the same reason.

Damn! Again no UHD...
I guess I will again pass.

I’m wondering if the other two shorts will be offered as a retailer exclusive, similar to the Steelbook of Season 1 that was only available at Best Buy.

[BerryTheMusicMan]

Only wish it was a 4K release also including all the shorts .

[Kschreck]

Sigh... why would they not include all 4 of the short Treks? This will be a incomplete set... :/

[Battlestar]

Excellent news I was wondering about this.... It's Paramount so you never know.. Enjoyed season 2 more than seasone 1. I also hope they include all the Short Treks.

[badfingerboogie]

Surely they aren't going to hold back the Calypso short or whatever it was called for the season 3 set, due to the show jumping forward 900 years or whatever for the new season.

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.

It's like you read my mind.

The only other possibility I can think of is a separate "Short Treks" compilation release with all 10 of the 2018-2019 episodes.

The people at the trekcore website said they are trying to contact CBS and find out if it's just an error in the press release or if they're actually being left out of the actual set

Yeah, I'd almost be less confused if they just weren't including any Short Treks here, because at least that way we'd know there was a chance they were just going to put them all together for a separate single disc Blu or whatever.

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.

I been hearing hard media is dying since DVD came out that was 1997, I would think by now it would be dead yet studios keep pumping titles out.

I really hope so. Although I am a little worried since this season didn't even air on television, only CBS All Access

So did S1. Only the pilot aired on CBS.
