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

[Greg Cox]

Most of the folks in my circle seem to be liking it.

Any actual "hate" seems to be mostly the usual "woke Trek is garbage!" venom, from random voices on the internet.

YouTube keyboard warriors will always hate whatever will get them clicks and more ad revenue.

Hate sells, and unfortunately business is a-boomin'.

I read that in Brad Pitt's voice with a Southern accent.

I got about 20 minutes in before stopping it. I may try watching the rest later, tonight I'm not feeling well, but really nothing was grasping me and I'm not a fan of this time period in the franchise.

I may try watching the rest later but what I saw wasn't grasping me on quite what I was expecting (really, I probably would have taken more of a 90210 tone.)

I gave it a 7/10, which is to say, not great but quite good.

I think they have a pretty interesting set up (expanded further in the second episode) to get some good Trek storytelling out of the stuff Discovery didn't really deal with, with character representing what Starfleet was, what it has become, and the students representing the promise of what it can be. I'm cautiously optimistic that they'll develop that well, but only time will tell.

I love Holly Hunter as Captain/Chancellor Ake. I got a real kick out of her sitting in her captain's chair in pretty much the same pose I was perched on my couch in. She has a great screen presence.

I think the Athena is beautiful. I love the wings.

I dunno! It's been a while since I was looking forward to new Star Trek (I haven't checked out Strange New Worlds yet). I hope this feeling lasts.

glad to hear that.

In my IRL circle , one guy thinks it's pretty decent, and another refuses to give it a chance and says it's the worst thing ever.

I've seen a lot of that 'woke garbage' nonsense on other social media , but the discussion is thankfully more fair here

What's it like having circles?

My in-laws are all diehard Trekkies. They love it. I love it. My father-in-law is almost 70 and loves it.
