Spoilers Starfleet Academy General Discussion Thread

[Farscape One]

Considering season 2 is supposed to end on some kind of cliffhanger, it might be a better idea to Batgirl it.

At least the season 1 finale actually ended with tying up all the main arcs of the season. It could function as a series finale.

Star Trek Fans Vote Overwhelmingly To Batgirl Starfleet Academy

Paramount has announced that Star Trek: Starfleet Academy will be cancelled after airing its second season sometime next year. The problem with this announcement is that Paramount still plans to air ...

It seems Batgirl has now become a verb.

Just because Giant Freakin' Robot says something is true most definitely does not mean it is so.

That's barely one step above "I made it the fuck up."

You're not allowed to vote on their polls unless you hate Academy.

Imagine hating a fucking television show so much that you want people who do like the show to not get more of it, especially when it’s already filmed. Openly pleading for it to be shelved feels over-the-top mean-spirited. Pathetic doesn’t begin to describe these people.

With the cancellation announcement this ilk feels validated to call for all manner of things they're convinced are true about Kurtzman era.

I hope they at least get some reshoots like disco did. I hate when shows end on a cliffhanger

Like "None of these shows they've announced will ever get made." That's my favorite, nine years and five shows later.

I'm guessing they realize they're probably not going to Batgirl it, but since they will sooner than they wanted have no more SFA to whine about, they might as well get the outrage clicks.

This is my biggest issue with the fandom, the amount of petulant, childish, emotionally stunted dropkicks that fill it to the brim.

I'm not interested in seeing whatever Trek comes from a magafied paramount. While I doubt it will ever go full Maga, I think it will just be a rehash of all the worst aspects of 90's trek. Safe and apolitical, that won't challenge the viewer. I'm sure the chuds and grifters will love it.

Giant Freaking Robot has been documented as specifically seeking out potential writers who "Hate Starfleet Academy". Nothing that they say on any subject at any time should be worth consideration by anybody.

Honestly, y'all, I think I'm on the verge of taking a very long break from all things Star Trek. The toxic fandom is exhausting and emotionally draining and I think I'm just going to direct my interests elsewhere for a while. As ground keeper Willie once said, "no one hates Star Trek like Star Trek fans".

 

[I am not Spock]

the discourse i've seen around SFA on other social media sites is just so toxic. The haters are unbearable this week.

I'm grateful the discussion is more civil here.

I don't think the fandom deserves Year One. Or Legacy. Not after some of the behaviour i've seen, surrounding SFA

Nah, keep it on a cliffhanger. Stargate Universe ended on one, and it was extremely effective.

Also the SNW predecessor Early Voyages comics ended on a cliffhanger.

Plus, it'll inspire fan debate and fanfic for decades... unless it's REALLY bad.

The show Angel ended on a cliffhanger, and the showrunners intended it to. It's inspired fan debates for the last 20 years

 

[Ray Hardgrit]

Man, why did you have to remind me about the Stargate Universe cliffhanger?

At least that's getting a new series soon so they might throw in a line to make us feel better. Or maybe we'll get a whole episode about how they never came back, that seems to be in fashion right now.

 

[I am not Spock]

we don't know what the cliffhanger is yet. If it's like Hegemony part 1 over on SNW, and it just ends and leaves us hanging, i will be pissed

Oh the passionate can resolve any quality of cliffhanger

That's not a cliffhanger. That's Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

Wait didn't he say Roddenberry would be rolling around his grave about the new Trek shows? Or was that misreported by websites with no proof readers?
