Spoilers Star Trek Scouts - Starships and Technology Discussion

[Mark_Nguyen]

I mean, I guess..?

[Note that I don't consider this show remotely canon to any other Trek production, let alone itself. At best, maybe this is something that 25th century parents put on while the kids enjoy some plomeek broth. So I'm just making the odd observation.]

- This crew seems to be on a starbase of some kind. Still, the command room looks vaguely TNG-ish even if the various stations have large physical buttons AND touchscreens.

- I legitimately do like the uniforms they have. Places them somewhere in the TNG era.

- They have the technology to beam stuff they're wearing off their bodies.

- There is a flippy tricorder.

 

[Boo-khat!]

The show is probably in its own micro-continuity, with no clear time period to be had.

Technology... rubber ducky and fork torpedoes

 

[Artoo Atari]

It's like Prodigy got caught a transporter mishap with Muppet Babies.

I like it! It’s probably a Space Camp with extensive holo-technology to train kids. Like how there’s Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts groups in the USA.

I wonder if we see the kids flying a ship at some pint.

I'm just waiting for heads to explode over at Memory Alpha as they try and figure out how this is canon.

(I’m all for a preschooler show I won’t be watching anyway, but good lord. The Romulan Rubber Ducky?)

The implications of this are staggering. Federation planetary defense being based on some kind of... bigulation transporter-ray is an incredible application of disparate technologies. And we see that the children of the future achieve excellence at such an early age they're given the responsibility of protecting planets from an inexplicably diverse array of asteroids (do I sense the mischevious hand of Q at work?). However, not all is well. The large number of unattended animals from across space wandering into a secure facility speaks to some kind of ecological issue, perhaps a plague of invasive species caused by heedless cross-pollination across diverse biospheres.

How was that?

I am attempting to remember, what sort of level of math were kids learning in schools on the USS Enterprise and on Deep Space Nine?

 

[Mark_Nguyen]

Algebra and Calculus. It was SUPPOSED to be a crazy-complex thing in the future, but honestly I learned bits of both in junior high (while I was watching the shows originally). I got much further into it in high school and then university. And it SUCKED.

I'm Canadian, mind you. Not sure how much of these maths were taught in American schools in 1987-2004, let alone today..?

For me:

Algebra 1 was in 7th Grade.
Geometry was in 8th Grade
Algebra 2 was in 9th Grade
Trigonometry 1 was in 10th Grade
Trignomoetry 2 was in 11th Grade
Calculus was in 12th Grade

This is my rough memory of Jr. High ► High School Math Courses.

Is Sprocket a V'tosh ka'tur?
Sprocket is at times awkward and smiling, indicating a looser adherence to the Surakian principles of emotional control. Perhaps it is a side–effect of the school‘s multicultural environment, or whatever trauma involved getting an arm replaced?

Other observations:
We’re in episode four by now and still lack a name for the school and planet. Plus there’s no starship and each episode’s plot has been following a strict formula.

I think they're not just reusing dialog, but the same performances over and over.

Is the science scout's name Roo (Memory Alpha) or Drew (subtitles)?

For me Algebra 1 was 9th grade, and 2 was 11th. Never had trig or calculus.
