I don't care how officers longue so long as it is from my curated list of Star Trek activities.
Spoilers Starfleet Academy General Discussion Thread
- Thread starter Tuskin38
- Start date
Raymond A. Spruance was Chancellor of the Naval War College from 1946-1948, post World War 2.
He retained the rank of five star Admiral and had both titles and would occasionally take command of a ship a sea.
Jeez, everyone's pissed off on the interwebs about this:
I can't believe that in-universe all the commanders sit on the edge of their seats, muscles tense, staring at the primary screen for hours on end in silence while the ship warps, ready for any unexpected event.
Maybe they forget that in other series, we only see our heroes when something happens. Although I would have loved a TNG episode where the Enterprise, in real time, warps for an hour and nothing happens. The characters chat about this and that to pass the time, and Picard reads some archaeology book and takes notes.
Sure they do! And everyone knows it’s only a real captain when he’s carrying a swagger stick and always has a nail file on him.

In real life Admiral Spruance was known to leave the bridge of his flagship and go to his quarters and take a nap during lulls in combat, because he wanted to be alert as possible when battle did occur and he also had utmost confidence in his subordinates in handling situations that didn't require him to be on the bridge.
Janeway was reading a book on irish poetry on the bridge when she got involved with the Michael hologram. The DS9 crew frequently sat around gossiping on the bridge of the Defiant. So there is precedence for starfleet crews relaxing during lulls in missions.Jeez, everyone's pissed off on the interwebs about this:

The minute Ake was notified of the Anomaly she went into Captain mode. It's not like she said 'Hang on Ensign Weldu, let me just finish this page and I'll be right with you.'
Maybe the haters will be happier if Ake starts using a 32nd century kindle.
The haters will not be happy until Academy ceases production.

I am not. Like mentioned before Trek has the whole military structure to it. People expect Captains to be rigid and series. Trying something new is not exactly going to be embraced unless people love it. My theory is she would be facing less criticism if they had made her just the dean of college and didn't also try and make her a Starship Captain also. In fact I that kind of makes sense for conflict. The ship is controlled by Starfleet officers who were trained by the war college. They get in conflict with the teachers who are not exactly comfortable outside of their classrooms. Basically the Trek version of nerds vs jocks.
And naturally if the new regime want to reboot from scratch, Academy will only have ended because it only has a hundred people watching it and was too woke. We're in for a shitstorm of uneducated right wing nonsense that day.
come to think of it star trek starfleet academy is in a way kinda like fallout
What shows are you watching?
I actually think that is what Caleb is set up to be. He has lots of action man to him that you sort of expect out of a Captain. I think that is why he is the shows lead. Holly Hunter is basically there to be the adult parent figure that gets him to reach his full potential. While his friends also become his brothers and sisters.
I just realised we've yet to see a 32nd century Reman on either Discovery or Academy. There was no mention of them being on Ni'var at all, maybe they didn't join in with the unification.
No Aenar either but there were so few of them it could be they've just gone extinct outside of hybrids.

As the Klingons in Discovery are the same as the Klingons in every other show I can only surmise you are under the impressions Klingons and Remans both vanished in 2258. However they show up in various properties set in later time periods so I'm afraid your theory cannot be correct.
They're really not the same Klingons, as Lower Decks highlighted.
The LD animation was a deliberate Easter egg and nothing more. The producers even said it didn't mean what some fans think it means.
This argument only works if you consider Galaxy class, Miranda class, Oberth class and Sovereign class ships to not be canon to the prime universe since the improbability field transforms the Cerritos into them.
So do you want to be wrong or very wrong? I'll wait.
Now do it with the rest of the Klingons.
