Spoilers Star Trek: Starfleet Academy 1x02 – “Beta Test”

[Kamen Rider Blade]

f the Daughter had to have her telepathy suppressed, then the same is probably true for her parents and children. What's with Dad taking that broach off his neck at the end? Was that also an inhibitor?

The father is played by a IRL Deaf Actor.
The broach is a artificial Speech Generator, that's why his voice was dubbed over.
When he took off the broach, he said "Yeah" with his IRL voice.

And the Father is a Empath, the daughter is the opposite, she's too powerful so she needs a Neural Inhibitor to dampen her powers.
In his family lineage, powers must've skipped a generation, the father didn't get much besides being a Empath.
The Daughter is Uber Powerful.
The Son seems to be a normal Empath from what we can tell.

Better than the premiere, for sure.

The slang and the teen-ness of it are not things I like particularly. Nor the Number One. Nor The Doctor so far. Something has to be up there. Waitingvforcthat shoe to drop. Same with Caleb's mom, you don't hire Tatiyana fir that little peak.

But Holly Hunter is great. I like episodic. And the show looks good. The Betazoid cadet is interesting (being only empathic with the inhibitor) and choosing War College (at daddy's request, I bet). The Klingon Doctor cadet is also an interesting idea. And the SAM/Doctor dynamic.

Moving HQ to Betazoid is a great idea.

The idea that a Jem Haddar/Klingon would be suoer strong does not make a lot of sense to me, as neither are, IIRC. Ditto Tellarite/Klingon. Did Iiss something there.

No one asked for The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Voyager.....

This old fucking argument again.

 

[Turtletrekker]

This old fucking argument again.

It keeps coming up because it's both true and entirely relevant.

Oh, favorite bit of dialogue from the second ep:


“I’m not ambivalent.”

“You’re literally sitting on a fence.”
