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.

[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... :/

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.

[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.

[Bolty]

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

I hope Best Buy does another steelbook.

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.

[Dizagaox]

I think they'll announce 'Star Trek: Short Treks, Vol. 1' at some point, with all 10 episodes from the first two seasons, once they finish airing the next 6.

I reckon as the ones they've included on this box set are relevant to the season (even shown in the recaps), they're getting an "early" release.

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.

[Bolty]

The trekcore website has confirmed that only two of the 4 short treks" will be on the set.
They were not given a reason but they were given the disc by disc breakdown including all special features and the two episodes will not be included.
No 4K release. No Atmos or 7.1 surround sound. And half of the four short episodes. Sounds like a plan.

[Kschreck]

Absolutely gross and not surprising and the company complains about poor physical media sales... always with the greed.
