    When Have Bennett proposed an Academy movie, some friends of mine were very excited that it might resemble "The Paper Chase", which they had been watching avidly.

    Mentioned as speculation numerous times when Mary Wiseman as Sylvia Tilly got her Academy-related episode, followed by her sabbatical (so the actor could fulfil a stage production commitment that had been delayed by Covid shutdowns).

    I want Buffy/Smallville in space. They can even do that old band of the week thing UPN wanted on Enterprise, with a holostage at some nearby retro 2020's themed club.

    Give me my glorious cringe Trek, full of sad longing glances at crushes, trouble with classwork and secret alien invasions of the academy. No I am not joking.

    Well, I remember a classic game called Star Trek Starfleet Academy, and it was cool, with real actors and actress, like in some TV Show. There were even Sulu, Chekov and Kirk in the game.

    Starfleet Academy : The Movie
    1h 22m

    Keep in mind that these are FMV scenes for a 1997 game.

    Its successor "Star Trek: Klingon Academy" is better.
    It had Christopher Plummer as General Chang and David Warner as Chancellor Gorkon. Their acting is excellent.

    Be excellent if they did an academy show, but right before the Romulan war in Enterprise Era.

    Reminds me of when I went to boot camp, a couple weeks in, they usher us into a classroom, and one of the instructors gets up, and say, okay gentlemen, N Korea just invaded S Korea, all of you are now infantry, we will do an abbreviated boot camp, then you will go to an abbreviated infantry school, then you will be sent out to Korea.
    At the time I believed him, was one of the times N Korea was posturing, so I was scared shitless.. then he said, this is what people in 1950 went through.. I crashed i was so happy it wasn't real.

    Show new people going to the Earth Starfleet Academy, but right before the start of the war, have a Pearl Harbor moment of a romulan sneak attack on Earth, and show what the cadets do.

    There is a space academy style of show that I watched lately. I forget the title. I can't even remember where I watched it. Netflix maybe. And I hope that Starfleet academy won't follow the story telling style of that trash show.

    Another war storyline? But why?

    Plus just sending them off to fight as quickly as you describe in that boot camp scenario would kinda defeat the purpose of making a show about Starfleet Academy.

    It's like when fan films get real Trek actors to play some parts. And Shatner's makeup/uniform in particular is awful.

    I'm hoping this show is the Picard S3 spinoff, with Picard Jr & LaForge's daughter starring in it.

    Sadly, Terry Matalas confirmed on the recent TrekMovie podcast episode that this is not the case.

    I think United Earth Starfleet Academy is different from Federation Starfleet Academy. In that United Earth Starfleet Academy was academic work only, and the actual training was done by the Starfleet Training Center. My source being ENT S4, namely Trip recounting his experience in “Observer Effect” and some diploma citing Master of Astronautics in the second part of the alien nazi episodes.

    I suppose is possible that both institutions were merged in 2161 and Starfleet Academy does both academics and training going forwards.

    IIRC, there was no United Earth Starfleet Academy. For the most part, Enterprise was very careful to make sure none of the characters talked about going to the Academy, just that they've been through "Starfleet Training" with one reference in one episode to the "STC" which is presumed to mean Starfleet Training Course.

    The fourth season did muddle this matter a bit with a character's diploma from Starfleet Academy being on display in their quarters, but this was confirmed after the fact to have been a genuine mistake.

    Depends on how much nudity is involved. The more, the better.

    I really miss that Discovery season 1 vibe where they actually pushed a few boundaries (albeit very mildly) with mutilated corpses, Klingon nips and a f-bomb or two.

    Now it's just sanitised, quip-a-minute Marvel fare.

    They go with what is selling. When we stop buying it then maybe it will change.

    There wasn’t supposed to be an Academy back then. But if its on screen, its canon. So, an early iteration of Starfleet Academy existed by the 2150s.

    Plus, its makes a bit of sense that United Earth Starfleet Academy would exist for a few reasons:
    • theoretical academic work (engineers, cartographers, astrometrics experts, etc) for graduates and post grad work coming in from universities
    • officially license personnel to serve in Starfleet, allowing them to be staffed for administrative work at Starfleet Command and at the United Earth Embassy on Vulcan, as well as be staffed on starships
    • standardized testing across all Earth space agencies in light of the recently formed United Earth world government
    Despite this, standards are still nebulous; while none of the senior staff on the NX-01 were trained at the Academy, that may not have been the case with the NX-02 or NX-03 onwards. Add on the other founding worlds, and the lessons learned by United Earth Starfleet in the 2150s, and it becomes necessary to found a new ogranization in 2161.
