simple simon Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 (edited) Star Trek Takes Over London Underground 'Tube Train' Station As part of an advertising promotion by internet giant Amazon, on 15th and 16th January 2020 Piccadilly Circus London Underground (subway / metro) tube station was renamed Picardilly Circus. The promotion was for a new Star Trek series which it will be possible to watch on the Amazon Prime streaming television service. The new series is called Star Trek:Picard - the name is in honour of Jean-Luc Picard who is the central character. This railway station is in a well known part of London which will be recognised by almost everyone who has visited London and this film also includes a couple of street scenes showing the general area, station entrance, iconic double deck red buses and more. This film poses a question: who wants to have their atoms scrambled by a transporter in the hope that they are correctly reassembled afterwards when you can travel on a London Underground Tube Train?

Marti Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Here in the US it premieres Thurs Jan 23. As I understand it, you can get to it via Prime, but it's not free. You have to subscribe to CBS All Access ($5.99/month I think). We will definitely be watching it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDMc Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 I'm waiting for Orville to resume on Fox. It's funny, while hitting the Star Trek notes, & exploring some issues without heavy handedness. My son, a true Trekkie, did go check it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McDavid Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Anyone else get vibes that Star Trek, while funny and entertaining, was also full of conditioning messages? simple simon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
