I do not understand the out of hand rejection of this concept.
What signs? There have been none.
What signs? What do we really know other than it's set in the 32nd Century at the Academy?
We know Tilly's going to appear in it. Other than that, zilch.
Has even that been confirmed?
No, but it's a fait accompli. She works there so it's a pretty fair bet. But at this stage nothing's 100% set in stone other than the timeframe.
If there's not a course on Miles Edward O'Brien being the most important officer in Starfleet history I'm boycotting this show.
A fairly standard "people who don't get along are stranded and must learn to work together to survive plot"? You'll find that all over entertainment, including Star Trek (Galileo Seven, The Ascent, Last Mission). Other than featuring cadets, it says nothing about an Academy show.
Hate to break it to you, but every century we talk about in this franchise is all pretend.
Yeah but it does about the writers and their ambitions for the show.
Look,it wouldn’t have taken much to elevate the episode...how about if after all their tribulations the cadets failed to gel as a team,Tilly sadly tells them that to be in Starfleet you have to be more than just a cool backstory.
Anyhow as I said I would love to be wrong but given the cloyingly formulaic state of TV...

Yeah, not very Star Trek to fail at "gelling". Positive. Up beat. Aspirational. Team work. All that stuff. How can one judge the ambitions for the show base on one episode of a different show? Do we know if this particular writer is involved with the new show? I only see three writers for the show on MA, including Tawney Newsome (Mariner) from Lower Decks. I assume producer Noga Landau will also write.
I didn't like that episode, but I'm not going to judge the concept a failure just because Discovery didn't pull it off.
It's like...I dunno...not seeing Into the Spiderverse because you didn't like the DC interpretation of the Multiverse in The Flash.
There's no signs at all. That episode is not reprehensive of the series.
We don't even known if those writers are on the SFA show.
I hope you're right!

Not sure why you think you're breaking anything to me?!
I hate to break it to you, but you need to pay more attention. Ok, I'll spell it out for you.
My response was a direct reply to a poster who thought the century would improve the Academy series. So, I intentionally called out the pretend nature of the century. I don't know if the Academy series will be good or not, but the pretend century it's set it won't make or break it.
