First SFA Trailer

I'll be very, very let down if Season 1 ends with some "epic stakes" finale. The whole point of this show, after all, is to watch characters grow. Part of that is (presuming they still do intend this to be a multi-season show, and not a one-and-done) that they face a relatively minor antagonist in Season 1, building up for bigger and badder things in later years.

I mean, it's still a Kurtzman Trek show.

Question is mostly HOW this epic stake will be implemented - e.g. I thought SNWs season 1 finale Romulan Invasion was okay, mostly because it was still a character episode (the Gorn invasion was more iffy).
I think DIS season 3 is still the absolute only live-action streaming finale without an epic mcguffin threat.

And even then, this iteration of that crew was partly introduced courtesy of an epic MacGuffin threat, via Control.

I'm quite intrigued by this, especially since a show about the academy is arguably long overdue. Having Robert Picardo back is quite the coup, and some of the characters strike me as fascinating.

I hope its more low stakes. One benefit of being in a stationary setting is it lets us explore more about alien cultures

But it won't be in a stationary setting. The USS Athena will be serving as both active duty Starship and training ship for the cadets.

Ohh

I get the feeling regular "ship-based Star Trek scifi stuff" will be the main focus of most episodes and the "young adult drama" folks are worried about will just play out in the background like it does with DIS and SNW. In fact, I'd bet it will be very much like how SNW does things, since that's arguably the biggest hit of the streaming rra.

'Prentice cruises are a thing. Looking forward to this.

Time to reread Space Cadet in anticipation.

I'm glad this show is jumping off in a century far removed from everything else we know that doesn't have to lean back on the over-mined Berman era nostalgia. If nothing else, that's anything but lazy.

Strange that everything in the 32nd century looks like the 23rd STD and SNW century. Same orange doors, neon lighting basically trying to light dark rooms, window viewscreens etc. Its hard to even tell we are 800 years in the future beca6se things look so much the same. I wonder if stsrfleet designers from 800 years ago are still designing tech.
