Spoilers Star Trek: Starfleet Academy 1x01 – “Kids These Days”

[1001001]

We watched this tonight.

I thought it was pretty good.

I think the way Hunter inhabits the Captain (Chancellor) might take some getting used to. But I adore Pelia, so that shouldn’t be too much of an issue.

The landing sequence in SF was kinda hokey and the song was jarring.

Other than that, we liked it. The Doctor is good, and I’m in love with Lura Thok. She’s awesome. And Holo-Tootie is adorable.

What was kinda weird, the captain said auxiliary deflector control was outside engineering… but Caleb was on the outer rim of the saucer.

Holo Tootie might be my new name for her.

I've been struck by how Holly Hunter literally commands every scene she's in, despite being relatively tiny compared to her scene partners.

Yeah, that version of the song was terrible.

To me, she has a fair amount of Pelia in her. With that kind of age perhaps one develops a certain bemused comfort (see the way she sits in her chair).

I’m making an early bet that Lura Thok will be great.

The way the captain's chair behaves, it must have been designed by Ford. When I get in the driver seat, after my pickup truck hasn't been driven in over a week, the truck seat tries to move me into the steering wheel. I have to press one of the seat memories to get it to go back to normal.

I doubt she's super strong, but she's probably a hundred times more invulnerable than a human.

Coming late to the party, kinda: I really enjoyed this. And for the record:

1) Love the way Ake sprawls all the captain's chair. That was fun and fresh and new.

2) I quite liked Season 2 with PICARD, particularly the stuff with the Borg Queen and Jurati. (Plus, they finally remembered Gary Seven and his mysterious sponsors!)

3) On the Athena front, I assume the shame is name is named after the mythological Athena, not whatever ancient astronaut inspired here. Regardless of the name's extraterrestrial origins, the character of Athena is part of Earth's history, literature, and culture, and has long symbolized wisdom, making it an apt name for a educational vessel.

4) The Cheronian: The TOS ep only really established that there was no one left alive on their homeworld and that their civilization destroyed itself. Doesn't mean there were no Cheronians travelers, exiles, or refuges who left sometime before the final apocalyptic war. (I mean, Vulcan was destroyed in the Kelvin movies, but that doesn't mean that the Vulcans went extinct.) So let's assume that the Cheronians were an endangered species in Kirk's time, but may have rebounded by the 32nd century . . . .
