New Star Trek Discovery on CBS? Not Quite

Star Trek is coming back to TV. Unfortunately, it'll cost you $10 per month to see it.
I've been a Star Trek fan since the early 70s, so I was super excited to hear there was a new series in the works. The series will be called "Star Trek Discovery" and it takes place about 10 years before the timeline of the original 1960s series.
It's been a while since Star Trek was on TV, so I was looking forward to the new series until I heard that you need to subscribe to their CBS All-Access service to see it. For what it's worth, I don't mind paying a monthly fee for streaming services. I already pay for Amazon Prime and Netflix, but this is different. Other than Star Trek Discovery, CBS doesn't have ANYTHING I'd be willing to pay for, so it's not worth paying $120 per year for just one show.
Obviously, CBS is having a hard time getting people willing to pay for CBS All-Access, so they're taking advantage of the loyalty of Star Trek fans by putting Discovery on All-Access.
For what it's worth, I hope a lot of fans like me decide NOT to subscribe, so they consider alternatives, like Netflix or Amazon Prime.
