      Maybe it’ll start another trend like Disney+ did. Disney+ with Hulu and ESPN. That’s the ticket.

        Nah, it'll be Disney++ or Disney Sharp. There's clear precedent for this sort of thing

      In a parallel universe out there somewhere, people are reading an announcement about the debut of “Showamount Plustime”. We should be grateful that our universe is slightly more benevolent.

    I am so excited for the race to add more and more descriptors and superlatives to the names of streaming services. Paramount+ with Showtime Star Trek Season Pass Ultimate Access Add-On
