They sell Paramount+ on Youtube. If I felt compelled to pay for this I'd watch via Youtube for sure.
Spoilers Star Trek: Starfleet Academy 1x01 – “Kids These Days”
- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
The point was that that senseless racial prejudice destroyed their world. And that lesson remains, even if few more survivors were out in the universe like Bele and Lokai.
All that Enterprise's sensors really confirmed was that no one else was still alive on their homeworld.
And any dramatic declarations from Kirk at the end shouldn't be taken too literally. He was speaking from the heart, not submitting a scientific paper, complete with qualifiers, footnotes, and speculation.
"My God, Bones, they wiped each other out! . . . . Although this data cannot be confirmed with 100% certainty on the basis of a single sensor sweep of just one planet."

Gem'Hadar had neither Moms nor Dads. So for this to be possible, the Founders must have reversed their genetic engineering and released them. I want to hear that story.
Gold answer.
We don't know the Jem'Hadar whole story. The Vorta were a modified species not engineered whole cloth so the Jem'Hadar probably have a ancestor species that was modified.
Tosk
Finally was able to see it. Early impressions, it's better than Discovery at least. Overall though, a mixed bag. Some good. Some bad. Nothing really ugly yet so that's something.
Other impressions : The pace , the comedy, the cadence of this show REALLY feels like Star Trek 2009. More than any other Kurtzman era show. SNW, even with all of its faults , still feels more like the kind of Star Trek I like. Just personal preference . But again it's Early.

The new character is representative of the 1960s characters in tos which was about 20th century race relations.
She has the same colour scheme as Lokai, which makes her the oppressed minority Cheron, but the grey hair, I gotta ask again, are we sure that she is a child?
You just click on the video and it starts.
What?
But seriously.
Whether or not it's "true", the Tosk themselves were already modified from their natural state.
"But he is sentient only because we have made him sentient. He has been bred for the hunt. His entire reason to exist is the hunt. To make it as exciting, as interesting, as he can."
The Tosk were physiologically very similar to the Hunters, only without the more whitish skin and scales and with the ability to use natural camouflage. Unless I'm forgetting some important details!
Yep. I think that's why the Founders used them to create the Jem'Hadar.What?

I kept getting prompts to sign up for a 7-day trial membership for Paramount+.
But I'm perfectly willing to believe I was clicking on the wrong links somehow. I'm still learning how to stream things on our living room tv, as opposed to my computer.
(Says the old geezer who remembers black-and-white television sets, bunny ears, and only four channels on the air.)
Ah ok. Type star trek starfleet academy episode one in the search bar. The free video should come up. Youre hitting the Paramount plus trial one. Scroll down a down and you should see the episode.
Hey, I remember all those things and I'm only... ...oh... Oh no.
Ah, is that what I was doing wrong? Who knew there was a search bar? I was just talking into my remote, using the microphone button.
Thanks for the tip. For what it's worth, I did manage to watch the shows eventually, by figuring out how to log into my preexisting account -- on my TV set no less!
What won't they think of next?
Ah so you logged youtube onto your tv. You didn't need any help. Lol. Glad you watched the episode.Ah, is that what I was doing wrong? Who knew there was a search bar? I was just talking into my remote, using the microphone button.

Yeah, the aftermath and cause of The Burn was a major plot point in Discovery season 3, and its resolution was important to plotlines throughout the rest of the series.
I feel like the writers are giving the audience essential information, that the Burn happened a long time ago, devastated the galaxy, and they are still rebuilding. However, the exact nature of the disaster isn't (yet) important to the new series, so they aren't elaborating.
The writers seem to trying to be careful to not to contradict what has come before. They say that it is "the first Academy class to return to [the] campus in San Francisco after more than 120 years." That doesn't contradict the reopening of Starfleet Academy in Discovery Season 4, since that wasn't on Earth. However, new viewers could assume it's the first new class in generations without missing anything important.
