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

[TimeIsAPredator]

Well, it's Nu-Trek as expected. I wish the villain weren't as cartoonish. I'll keep watching. Maybe it'll pick up, and I'll feel a connection to a character.

I think it's become a problem with a lot of legacy shows. Shows that we're unintentionally camp because they were of their time now have actors coming in and doing it on purpose. I personally find it uninteresting and irritating.

Who still says "bite me" in 2026- never mind the 32nd century?

Some slang will never die out, no matter the era?

My only issue with Holly Hunter as Captain was she was WAY too slow to call Red Alert.
By the time she stated it, the bogeys were basically about to collide with the hull.
But we do have to cut her some slack, she hasn't been in StarFleet for 50 years, and this is a new ship, new crew, and she wasn't expecting to get into conflict on a simple run to Earth.

Also, the Captain gives the order to give the anomaly a "Wide Berth", and the helms-men basically parks the vessel < 1 km away from the Anomaly Signature where the trap popped out?
What about "Wide Berth" makes the helms-men think parking the ship that close was a good idea?
You should be VERY far away from said Anomaly, probably send in probes if you have to.
Shouldn't StarFleet Sensors be able to detect things at super long range?
What good is all your fancy sensors if you have to park your vessel right next to said dangerous anomaly?

When I think of "Wide Berth", you should probably park your vessel 1 AU away from said Anomaly, send in probes if your ship sensors aren't good enough at that distance.
That would've given you more time to deal with the Bogeys that popped out of the trap and shoot them down before they covered your vessel with programmable matter.

Did she end up with Dal?

No clue what happened to Dal, other than he got a shout-out along with the rest of the ProtoStar crew.
On the List of StarFleet Heroes memorial wall, Zero made it to Cmdr rank.

According to the Holographic Cadet, Gwyn eventually made Captain.

So far, I'm really enjoying this show, so 9/10 for me.

Yeah, that part i heard.

But the doctor reacted to the mention of her name with sadness....so thst suggests something bad happened.

Obviously theyre all long dead from rhat era, but he didnt react that way to the mention of Voyager.

What was the mention of Dal? I missed that. I heard Gwyn mentioned.

The Cheron

Shouldn't they be extinct!?
Or did Bele & Lokai do the pregnant gay man thing after all?

Looking forward to watch it later today

Almost immediately before the Gwyn mention, something like, "Dal and Captain Gwyn ..."

 

[Tosk]

There's dozens of aliens that look exactly like people from Earth. Why can't there be another race similar to the Cheron? (Besides, this one - like the one in Section 31 - has split color hair, which Bele and Lokai did not.)

Or there were offworlders. Simple.

It's not top tier Trek for me, but for streaming Trek it's above average. Oddly affecting given how much I loathe the "90210 in the 32nd Century" label that's been following it since the first cast photos and trailers and posters dropped and generally eschew most shows about kids and schools.

I'm sticking around. Not too bad, and there's promise.

The first episode was fine. It was a lot better than the promos suggested. Of the live-action pilot episodes for Kurtzman era Trek, I felt this was the strongest. It introduced the large ensemble quite well without slowing the pacing, and we learned a bit about many of them. The FX for New Trek have never been a problem. I even liked the cadet uniforms.

With the other New Trek live-action pilots, Discovery's was rushed and too busy trying to grab the audience by the throat, Picard's was too concerned about letting the audience know this wasn't TNG 2.0, and Strange New World's was more run-of-the mill, adequate, but not that memorable.

I don't love Academy, but I do like how it's trying to take "The Burn" (which I thought came off badly in Discovery) and make hay of it, like how Picard sought to do likewise with the destruction of Romulus.
