Spoilers Starfleet Academy General Discussion Thread

Zero is a Medusan, they're energy beings that don't age.



There's no way the Academy writers are allowed to kill off any past show main characters except by old age.

Especially past show main characters that Paramount can continue to use forever since they're not irrevocably connected to any specific actor or actress.

Oh that's right. I had forgotten who Zero was lol. My bad.
 
Poor Doctor, you gotta feel for him because his first friends, the Voyager crew, are long dead by this point. You know he's gotta be hurting inside having seen them and all the other friends he's made during these 800+ years die off.

Immortality really is a curse.
i know , that must hurt. I felt bad for him when Sam brought up Voyager and the Protostar kids, they'd all be long dead.
 
Here's another negative Nelly

just don't give them the engagement they are looking for.

I don't click on negative nelly reviews, and if i do click on a video which turns out to be a negatively biased slagging off session, i just turn the video off.

I'm all for constructive criticism, but these grifters are never happy with anything . They don't have one positive thing to say about anything.

May not hurt as much as we think, given how he basically completely forgot Kes even existed after "THE GIFT". (That was the fault of the writers, though. She was a MAJOR part of his life those first 3 seasons, and was his only advocate at the start. The lack of a mention, even a brief one or even on a sporadic occasion, didn't make sense to my wife. And she's right.)

I doubt she watched more than 60 seconds of an episode of anything remotely Star Trek

What’s funny to me is that even though the video is probably meant to make Starfleet Academy look ridiculous and bad, it still manages to make it look like a totally amazing show. You’d barely need to change a thing and this could actually have been a funny/quirky trailer for the show. :lol:

I didn't even notice that it was Grin, who i dislike, because it was entertaining.

Nothing could make what they've shown of SFA so far look like "an amazing show."
 
This is a general question - how did they solve the fact that even though the burn is over, dilithum was running out anyway?

That problem was solved in some way or is still a economic factor?

A dilithium planet was found that helps with rebuilding and reconnecting, and then they developed the pathway drive which looks a lot like regular warp on a visual level (handy for us the audience) but it is different in an as of yet unspecified way. It's been 2 years since the pathway drive was perfected so we don't know how many ships are using it just yet, I imagine the Athena has one and the retrofit Discovery was undergoing could be to have one installed for the times when the ship doesn't need to spore jump.
 
She gave the order to fire without offering surrender.
Sorry I had to drop out of the discussion yesterday. If anything, I agree with what you’re saying here: I would absolutely have preferred if the writers had added a line showing that Ake wasn’t keen on total destruction, but just keeping the enemy at bay.

However, in my mind the biggest issue with the scenario here is even engaging to begin with didn't seem worth it for Ake. Braka just wanted to cut out the warp core and leave, right? And the cavalry was coming in 45 minutes. He wasn't going to kill anyone unless someone tried to stop him. So why not just surrender, much as Picard did back in TNG? Doesn't the Federation value lives more than property?
Why would we be inclined to believe Braka to just peacefully “cut out the warp core and leave”, though? They did fire on the ship before, causing destruction and injuring several crew members, accepting the possibility that they killed people. It was just by pure luck that no-one got killed.

Nothing could make what they've shown of SFA so far look like "an amazing show."
In all seriousness, I’m sorry the show isn’t to your liking (yet). I was kind of prepared to not like it myself, considering how barely watchable I found Discovery to be. But those first two episodes, while still firmly placed in the Discovery universe, have a very different feel to me that has me hopeful that they were able to break out of the triteness of meaninglessness. On Discovery I often felt like the writers had no clue just how to even craft the basics of storytelling in their scripts. But here it feels someone in the writers room is finally making sure the scripts meet the minimum requirements for dramatic writing. Almost no aspect in Starfleet Academy is terribly original, but to me those clichés and stereotypes are at least employed competently. I’m sure there will be stinkers along the way, but right now I’m cautiously optimistic that they’ll be able to produce some quality Star Trek. :)

I mean, does this mean that Me Hani Ika Hali Ka Po never divulged how to recrystalise the stuff.....

A planet was found with more than enough dilithium to restore the galaxy to the days of yore.
