Starfleet Academy General Discussion Thread

Advertising is a lie.

The trailers for Beyond were hot garbage. Based on those you'd think it would be the worst Trek film ever produced.

Thankfully I wasn't swayed by the advertising. Those trailers did the movie NO justice.

Oh, look, that link also includes a more traditional looking (for Star Trek) cast photo rather than the "Oh they fawkin" dogpile on the grass from a few weeks ago everyone loved around here.

Indeed.

Advertising is about as useful but it's deceptive by its nature. So, I say watch the show and decide for yourself.

And, no, I don't care if Trek succeeds or fails. I have no financial stake in that.

I just want Trek to succeed, what's so wrong about that?

So far, the modern era of Star Trek has had 216 entries in 8 years with a minimum of 36 more to come. That is success by any reasonable standard. Especially for a cable franchise.

As a comparison, the Disney+ MCU (episodes of series plus specials) has had only 135 entries.

Admittedly only across five years, but still.
