Spoilers Star Trek: Starfleet Academy 1x06 – “Come, Let’s Away”

[Michael]

Can’t be B’Avi, since he visibly bled green in the episode …

 

[Gilora]

Pickford is Braka‘s mole and her fake freak-outs during crises allow her to communicate with him without anyone noticing … for now.

Oh yes and this episode received a 9 from me. Would have been a 10, but I could see Tomov‘s death coming a mile a way.

 

[Mudd]

I went back and rewatched the scene, and there was virtually no sideboob. There was like a single scene where you see a sideboob dangle for like a half second before they fade into a different shot. That's it.

Also helps Zoe is pretty petite, so there's not a lot of boob to be seen from many angles.

We saw more sideboob than this in TOS on the regular. In better lighting. too.

1:16.

I mean, just for research purposes.

The red blood spatter out of his back was almost certainly vfx added in post, so just yet another example of slipshod work there.

The green blood, in contrast, was makeup.

The phaser blast was red, so the lighting from that made his green blood look red. Good an excuse as any.

Several smaller and bigger 32nd century star charts are seen on the USS Athena bridge in #StarfleetAcademy's "Come, Let's Away". I was able to locate the first one ⬅️ on the Federation space map from the Star Trek Star Charts ➡️. The circle of buoys around Fesarius gave it away.

Random that the starchart has the location the Stargazer was lost marked.

That star chart is from the Star Trek: Star Charts book. The maps have a bunch of little details like that

Y'know, something just occurred to me... the shot B'Avi took to the chest shouldn't have been a kill shot for a Vulcan. Didn't TOS establish that the Vulcan heart is located approximately where a human's kidney is?

 

[cooleddie74]

I imagine it caused a lot of damage to nearby organs, though.

We see the shot go in the front and then blood spurt out of his back. Vulcans are not immune to to gaping phaser wounds that go through their body, regardless of where their heart is.

 

[cooleddie74]

And you don't have to shoot someone through the heart for them to bleed out through another damaged or destroyed organ or organs.

Completely agreed there, but the impression the episode gave is that he was instantly dead from the blast. It's sorta like old gangster movies where someone just drops dead after taking a .38 shot to the stomach. I get the shorthand they're doing here, but it doesn't quite stand up to logical scrutiny.

 

[Fateor]

To be honest it is kind of odd that 32nd century medicine couldn't save him.

They transported back to the Athena moments after he was shot, get his brain on life support and it should have just been a matter of regenerating his blood and organs.

 

[Ingrid]

So any explanation why Tarimas safe space is in the top secret progenitor place?

 

[Detached Nacelle]

I don't remember either of those being so purple in either show

 

[Ingrid]

Also it is a bit weird that they still don't use Sam as an actual hologram, no volunteering to get spaced or pretending to panic about it so that she gets spaced could probably also just project a bit further from the emitter as well so she herself stays on the ship, or just turn off her own visuals, no need to dive behind cover if you are invisible or almost invisible. She might as well be an android instead and it would go better with the writing, and connecting to the ship would still work.

 

[Mudd]

This was a good episode for the SAM character. It moved her beyond being the sorta-comic character to show how efficient and decisive she can be in a crisis.

 

[Ingrid]

My concern is not with character itself with that comment more about what she is and everything that comes with it. Since the episode has bat like furies, Imagine you have a character that has actual echolocation and that same character is just behaving like everyone else when the lights go out.

In the first episode you have Reymi volunteering to spacewalk because he is a khionian, would you complain if he was with the away group instead of Sam and did nothing?

Yeah, it's like when they had ship's Phasers firing from the Torpedo launcher in TNG S5 Darmok... unforgettable...oh, wait...
