In recent years, it has been depressingly frequently for television episodes to move from streaming from one or the other. Most of the time, this is due to the fact that managers are offensive In Philadelphia it is always sunny I removed some of her episodes from Hulu. Although it is one of the least offensive consequences in television history, the “Duet” episode of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine was once mysteriously removed from Paramount+.
The disappeared “duet”
As early as April 2022, “Duet” was briefly removed from Paramount+, which was concerned with Star Trek fans who wanted to stream their favorite show. This happened if Paramount took episodes from Netflix and laid them to their own streaming service. After sufficient pressure from fans, the episode was restored, but the only explanation for her absence was that there was a “problem of streaming rights” that was never completely explained.
Obviously, nobody outside of Paramount knows exactly what was going on here, but the explanation behind the initial absence of Paramount+ questioned many Star Trek fans the office Story. That is because of it Streaming Service. Nobody has ever explained what could cause this mysterious problem with streaming rights, and it would take more than a week (usually much more than a week) to solve disputes with right -wing owners.
While some spectators would probably have complained about it any The episode is unexpectedly torn from streaming, the absence of “duet” is particularly annoyed Star Trek Fans. This is because this is generally regarded as the best episode of Deep Space NineThe first season thanks to his conspiracy about Kira, a former Bajoran Freedom Fighter, who faces a Cardassian who claims to be a war criminal. We find that the man in question did not kill thousands of Bajorans, but is guilty of no longer doing the atrocities of his breed. So guilty that he is ready to be put on trial as an infamous war criminal and executed so that Kira’s people can achieve closure.
A classic episode
In short, “Duet” is an emotional power pack that the producers of Star Trek love as much as fans. A good example of this is the fact that Deep Space Nine Showrunner Ira Steven Behr reacted online to streaming drama. When the @Askparamount account revealed to X that the episode at Paramount+ “due to streaming rights” was not available, Behrs was released again that the deceased “duet “horber Paul Allan Fields” did not agree “, but at the same time not would be surprised. “”
Behr also described the problem with “Duett” A Star Trek: Deep Space Nine “Snafu for the books.” It was a pretty mild criticism, but it led to the @Askparamount account answering with an apology for its “failed communication”. They claimed that “there was a problem, but our team was able to bring the episode back in hand and be available” in order to help the link helpfully publish. From that day on, “Duett” was for stream, and there was never further information about the alleged problem of streaming rights.
For “Duet” fans who remember these short controversy, this remains one of Star Trek’s strangest unanswered questions. Was there really some mysterious third parties who were somehow captured on the right for a beloved episode for a few days, or simply made Paramount a mistake when he explained what happened? In any case, we are grateful that it is now possible to always stream our favorite Deep Space Nine Episodes.
Now we are just waiting for Paramount Execs to slip their own program in Charlie, Dennis, Frank and Dee. And we already have the perfect episode title: “The gang finally fixes Nutrek.”
