LOVED STARFLEET!

Hi all!
Just wanted to say that I loved the first season of Star trek: Starfleet Acadamy! It was a show that I looked forward seeing every week! I liked all of the characters, although I have to admit that I still don't know their names. But that's nothing new. :) I did like Paul Giamatti's and Holly Hunters characters, as well as "SAM", that Jem Hadar/ Klingon, and that love story with the Betazed girl and the guy who was taken from his Mom. It was also great to see Tilly again and I hope she comes back again and again. She is a treat to watch!
I have been a Star Trek fan since I was a teenager and the original series came out. I've loved them all since: TOS, TNG, DS9, Enterprise, Voyager, Discovery, Strange New Worlds, Starfleet and several of the full length movies. I have to admit though that I never watched the cartoon based series.
Anyway, I have read that Starfleet has been picked up for a 2nd season, and I for one would like to see five more seaons to come!

Welcome Mark.
Sadly SFA will only get 2 seasons. But there is a ton of Star Trek for you to enjoy. A lot of people will give you suggestions so you can start to dig in .

Welcome.

TOS Balance of Terror is a great way to see more Trek with Romulans.
 
Hi Dar70 and fireproof78! Thanks for the welcomes!
I am very sad that Starfleet Academy will be cancelled after it's 2nd season. For me, that is just not enough time to get to know the characters. I hope they change their minds, but it's probably not likely. :(
I am 75 years old and I've been watching the Star Trek shows since The Original Series came out when I was seventeen. I've seen ALL of the TV shows and a lot of the movies. I've watched every TV show at least twice, and I am on my 3rd and 4th reruns with some of them. I have liked them all, and Starfleet was a show I looked forward toevery week. I believe people never gave it a chance. Even TNG wasn't that great in the beginning, but I still loved it. Even Captain Kirk (William Shatner) agrees with me:

So please give Starfleet a second chance!

Got you beat, I’ll be 80 in May but my story is the same. I’ve seen every nanosecond of TV and Movie trek and enjoyed them all. TNG is my current favorite but SNW is chasing its tail. Time will tell.
 
Hello. I, too, was around to see TOS when it originally aired. I watched sitting on the floor every week. It was great. Unfortunately, Gilligan’s Island was also airing back then, but I was too young to be criticized for watching that. Anyway, I’m happy to see this new show and any enthusiasm for Trek is much appreciated. Welcome to the boards Cam! I just got back here myself.
 
Hi Jellico! Thanks for the welcome!
I only came here to say how much I loved Starfleet and that I had hoped it would continue many seasons to come! I am still sad that it's only going to be one one more season. I was just as sad when Discovery got cancelled.

starfleet academy was i think in my opinion the 1st cw style teen drama star trek tv show in star trek history and also in star trek tv history
 
.....And I don't think that was a bad thing. In fact, I loved it. It was / is (don't want to get ahead of myself just yet) IMHO still about Star Trek. All these Captains: Archer, Pike, Kirk, Janeway, Picard, Sisko, Burnam, Ake etc came from Starfleet, and it was great watching what they too must have gone through. It was / is a fresh prospective, and a lot of people had trouble accepting that. So sad.
 
I was very reluctant before SFA aired, to watch. There had been talks about doing a starfleet academy movie, or movies, all the way back to the Harve Bennett producer days, during the 80’s,TOS movie decade, when the Great Bird was still walking in the hallways. I dreaded the thought back then. After that, I thought that Wesley and Starfleet in San Fran was enough. I headed back to these boards as the show SFA, began to air. I tried YouTube as well, but everything there was a spoiler and they can be really nasty.

I didn’t understand the relationship between the instructors and the cadets at first. It seemed like Tig, Hunter and Picardo where camp counselors. Some of the writing was really good, in my opinion, and the character relationships clicked by the third episode. It also took me awhile to make enjoy the WarCollege and Starfleet rivalry. It’s like college. I was young once.

I consider SFA good Trek and I think it deserves the next season. Also, if P+ decides to move on with another iteration of the 32nd Century, we can see these characters again. It’s Star Trek and anything is possible.
 
That's right. Anything is possible, and I REALLY hope Paraount+ changes their mind by the end of the second season.
