Doug Jones almost-confirms Starfleet Academy is set in the same era as Discovery
- Thread starter Quinton
- Start date
Well, I thought the whole point of making the show was so that they could use DSC’s assets after that show ends to save money?
I personally would not have made an academy show in the 32nd century, but I guess this is the new era of Cheap Trek. I’m looking forward to seeing background extras wearing uniforms that don’t fit them because they were made for someone else

As much as I loath the idea of a 32nd century Academy series.. Seeing Saru would be nice.
Honestly an Animated version would be better than Live action.

That sounds like you're describing '90s Trek to me.I personally would not have made an academy show in the 32nd century, but I guess this is the new era of Cheap Trek. I’m looking forward to seeing background extras wearing uniforms that don’t fit them because they were made for someone else

I was just joking. Sort of.
I mean, same, but that didn't mean folks didn't debate it.
I think it was mostly wishful hoping from people that don't like Discovery.
Yeah I feel like we know this already but cool!
It was already confirmed on twitter by Dave Blass IIRC when Picard season 3 was happening.
And it goes with leaks from loooooooooong ago that Starfleet Academy was set on "new Earth" in the 32nd century.

Ah, OK. The Blass bit I did not know. And yeah. I remember the leaks. I was just being cautious as hell here - were this (somehow) an article I'm writing for work, I would have done more digging.
And told people who were still doubtful that they were odd!
Well, it is true that despite it basically being confirmed already the Academy series is set in the 32nd century, there are still those who believe it could be set in a different era anyway. They likely will continue to do so until the show airs offering no wiggle room for interpretation whatsoever. And even then, they'll still try to tapdance around the matter somehow.
Hope springth eternal.
The original announcement has a line about how Starfleet Academy had been reopened for the first time in a century...
Seems pretty damn on the nose that they're referring to the 32nd century. When else was Starfleet Academy closed for a century?

I've kinda been wondering how anyone was a part of Starfleet in Disco S3/4 if there was no academy. I doubt they were all a century old

They just didn't go to the Academy.
Parts of Starfleet were still operational. It's comparable to the real world, like not everyone in the US Army went to West Point. They just trained up officers elsewhere.

Aside from any particular setting issues, I question just how interesting a Starfleet Academy show would be. I'm open minded, but i'm having trouble coming up with a scenario that actually forms an interesting TV series, ESPECIALLY something in a serialized long format. It would almost certainly work better in a more SNW episodic style.
The only thing I can think of that makes the show interesting also basically just up-ends the premise, in a sort of training-cruise-gone-wrong and now the cadets have to run the ship. It's been done already, and do we make an entire series out of it?
I hope i'm wrong and they have an interesting idea. My initial reaction to the new era of Trek was incredibly low, but it has been getting progressively better.
