I just started watching Voyager on Paramount Plus today, and noticed that the first two episodes, which are shown together, are presented as the appropriate 4:3 aspect ratio, but Episode 3 “Parallax” is presented in a distorted 16:9 or 16:10 format. I see no option to change this in Paramount Plus settings, and my Vizio TV will also not allow me to alter what ratio is being displayed.

Anyone else have this issue? Is this going to persist for the entire series? I didn’t have this issue at all with TOS, Animated, TNG, or DS9.

      There are two subscription prices - the more expensive one has no ads, the cheaper one has ads.

        I’ve got the cheaper commercial driven subscription, but I only see commercials on my Roku - if I browse to the Web site, it’s still commercial free!

        Paramount+ still feels pretty buggy in general.

        Even if you get the ad-free plan, you might get “internal” commercials for other Paramount plus shows. Just pre-roll ads though. Also, the Paramount logo counts as an ad and you can’t skip it. I’ll never get those 5 seconds back.
