Spoilers Star Trek: Starfleet Academy 1x06 – “Come, Let’s Away”
The best example of it working for Star Trek is probably Lower Decks.We don't need to guess about that because we've seen cases where fans have become showrunners. Various examples in Doctor Who and Star Trek come to mind.
Sometimes it works well, sometimes it doesn't.But it's not guaranteed to be good or bad.
This one was pretty good!
Good character work, cool new enemy, sensible training mission.
Sad to see Starfleet just cave in to a criminal’s demands but it’s coherent with what was established in Discovery: it’s not the 24th century anymore!
Great use of betazoid abilities and of our cadets all along.
Only thing I really didn’t like is that the derelict ship sets looked pretty much like the usual sets covered up with black plastic bags. Budget, I guess.
Nine.

I have to admit that redressing bridge sets hardly ever phases me. I guess I've just gotten used to Starship bridges in Star Trek looking a certain way and if they reuse the same set, that's just holding to the pattern. I have to tell you that I was initially shocked to find out that the battle bridge on TNG was just a redress of the main bridge.
The Season 1 Battle Bridge on TNG and that of the Stargazer might as well have been direct, unmodified reshoots of the TMP Bridge, which except for the "unmodified" adjective....they were. 
It bothers me on occasion, but not enough to actually care.

I though they borrowed SNW's set. I assume the bags were coverings, like sheets in an old house.
It’s not the redress I’m objecting to, it’s that it looked really bad imho.
And it sets up what happens later. Unnecessary? Ha.
But I thought these writers didn’t know Star Trek? /s

Psilosynine, the neurotransmitter involved in Betazoid empathy and telepathy was first established in season 7 of #StarTrekTNG, in "Dark Page" (1st pic, 2nd row) and "Eye of the Beholder" (⬇️). It is mentioned again in #StarfleetAcademy's "Beta Test"⬆️ and "Come, Let's Away" (2nd pic).

This flimsy “theory” did not have to be a ten+ minute, low-effort, AI-narrated YouTube slideshow that ends mid-sentence. I turned the embedded video into a clickable URL. In the future, please don’t post content like this. Just participate in the conversation like a regular poster, arguing your own thoughts, without posting borderline spam to the board. Thank you.
Her name is Pickford. She’s getting eated. I’ve read my Lovecraft.I for one would enjoy Pickford getting her moment in the limelight.
I’m not versed on Lovecraft at all, but doing a bit of googling, “Pickman” pops up as a character name. I assume that’s who you’re referring to?
Yeah, the story is "Pickman's Model." Made into a forgettable Night Gallery episode.
You can make successful movies and TV based on Lovecraft, but you can't do Lovecraft in movies or TV.
DUNWICH HORROR tried, at least with fast-edited subliminal moments.
COLOR OUT OF SPACE and FROM BEYOND have their moments, for better or for worse.
And that's why when on the holodeck you should always follow the rules of safety sex.
