Spoilers Star Trek: Starfleet Academy 1x04 – “Vox in Excelso”
- Thread starter Commander Richard

8/10
I have not been particularly enamored with this show but this was a damn good episode. The debate stuff was not the best but I can appreciate some of the character development that has gone on so far. Caleb wasn't a pouty jackass and kept his shirt on for a change. Is Jay-Den supposed to be autistic or just have some extreme social anxiety? His voice is hard to follow at times. Although I can empathize with the public speaking issue. Klingons don't have tear ducts, but they also are supposed to have purple blood so I guess we can overlook that bit of TUC canon. After Praxis I really doubt even the Klingons would have kept using dilithium reactors on Qo'noS. The fate of the Klingons does really drive home how awful The Burn was because after S3 of DSC we kind of glossed it over.

I felt his pain at public speaking. I was always a nervous wreck.
Not having tear ducts doesn't mean you can't produce tears. (Some animals produce tears but lack tear ducts). Legends say (Well TNG's "Birthright") that Kahless filled the ocean with his tears.
They have red blood or purple/pink blood, depending on the episode/movie.
People are allowed to just not like public speaking, they dont have to be neuro diverse.
Am I dating myself here or just remember old comedy bits but is a fear of public speaking no longer a fear?
Like, a comedian had a a whole bit on the statistics showing that Americans top fear one that was public speaking, with dying being number two on the list. Meaning, at s funeral more people wanted to be in the casket than giving the eulogy.
Just me?

For sure, but he speaks that way even amongst his chums.
I would say it is less of a concern for the TikTok generation constantly taking videos of themselves posting for all to see than Millenials and older. I still detest being on video.
In my experience it makes it worse. Anxiety gets worse in public speaking because they are no longer in control.
I think Jayden has social anxiety.
Also Klingons not learning a damn thing from Praxis is on brand.
I assume this means Lee Merriweather is her third incarnation and why Batman doesn't recognize her.
I read those comics and while they said "Everyone had joined but the Gorn", I don't think you need to assume they were being literal.
They could have just meant the Alpha Quadrant or even just figuratively.
Daniels had mentioned in Enterprise that the Klingons had joined the Federation, that does not mean they were still members by the time the burn happened, they could have left again.
I took public speaking in college and was involved in debate in high school and I was still occasionally a deer in headlights before talking to a group of people.
