Spoilers Star Trek: Starfleet Academy 1x06 – “Come, Let’s Away”

[Tuskin38]

Nusifer Braka?

Nusopher or something. It’s in the subtitles, it sounds like Christopher

The comic suggests the Miyazaki is from the 2250s-60s.

Could just be an artistic choice. It’s a dramatization of events .

This was bizarre, the worst one yet.

Nah, that’s episode 3. This was is the best so far.

And possibly 23rd century nacelles

They’re round, but they’re not an existing nacelle design.

I think the fact that it has a DISCO bridge is something fans shouldn't complain about since reusing sets means that this is now just officially a true Star Trek show.

SNW, not discovery.

They tried to disguise most of it by changing the door design, covering most of the consoles with garbage bags, replacing the chairs and removing the railing. But conn console is very clearly the Enterprise’s. The displays on the consoles were mostly turned off except a couple near the door they came in from, which still had SNW graphics.

Unfortunately, I couldn't watch this episode. I started it, but as soon as the Furies appeared, I had to turn it off. They were just too creepy for me on a psychological level, and I unfortunately have a low tolerance for psychological horror. It's too bad because I really would have liked to see the interactions between Ake and Braka.

I would recommend you use the slider to jump ahead to the scenes between Ake and Braka and the scenes with Vance as they are very good.

I'm planning on doing that, actually. But the appearance and sound of the Furies surprised me, and so it'll be a few days for me until I give it a shot. Good idea, though. Thanks for suggesting it!

It is true.

Nope. Strange New Worlds embraces a 1960s retro-futurist aesthetic. Starfleet Academy has none of that ’60s influence.

SFA and SNW are both produced in Toronto as production costs are lower there.
Picard was produced in Los Angeles as PStew wanted to stay in L.A.
The 1701-D sets are located in L.A. Moving the production to California or moving the sets to Canada for the little bit of one episode would be costly.

Besides, they didn’t “find” the ship. They make it abundantly clear in episode that this is a starship graveyard, and the War College had been working on the ship for at least five years. It has been a continuing effort for training for cadets.

They could have filmed it in la.

The bridge looks pretty much like the Athena bridge. Railings with led strip lighting around tge captains chair and the helm. Same design aesthetics wise. Same window viewscreen. Hard pressed to tell which one is older to be honest. Yup. Should have used the tng galaxy. At least it had a proper viewscreen not the super advanced one the snw Enterprise somehow has.

Make sure you pause before the credits roll then as it is just silence with their clicking

They could have, sure. But they chose to shoot with what they had available at their studio. It saved time and money. These shows still have budgets.

Wouldn't have cost that much. Most actors live in the area. The camera equipment is there already. They are spending huge amounts of money on this show already. To do a small part of the filming in LA wouldnt have cost much. Man the minute I saw the stills of the partial shop exterior I knew they would use th sets from snw.

They produce the show in Canada. Much of the time they are shooting the show, they are living in Canada. The Picard sets you speak of are either currently in storage or are still on tour. Getting them back and/or putting them up would cost money. The producers have also said that we’d be surprised at how low the budget is on the show. And yes, I knew they were the sets from SNW as well. And you know what? Again, there is a long history of painfully obvious reuse of sets from one production in another in Star Trek. Complaining about it is just finding something to whine about.

Besides, if they did what you wanted, then you’d just whine that they were reusing Picard sets.

 

[Elaise]

Holy shit what a mess of an episode.

The Athena is a training ship and they just all barely survived. I think Ake made the decision to get the students to safety versus chasing a guy in a fleeing ship.

It's pretty big and strong ship. I did not get the impression that it barely survived, and they were not in danger anymore. They would have had no problem getting the escape pod back.

I have no issue with them reusing the SNW bridge, I have more of an issue with that plastic tunnel...Yikes.

In the end it did not really distract from my enjoyment bit it stuck out like a sore thumb.

Now that I have to agree on! That was… weird.

 

[eschaton]

I would have overlooked the SNW bridge redress if it wasn't for the comic book, which was clearly set up in TOS/TAS style for some reason.

For that matter, the Vulcan cadet liking the comic didn't make much sense, did it? I mean, Ni'var just rejoined the Federation, so it's not like it's something he grew up reading (which seemed to be what Caleb was intimating).

I think the comics were contemporaneous to the actual voyages, Caleb calls them Starfleet propaganda and, until about 5 years ago, there was no broad UFP/Starfleet presence. You can grow up reading historical literature, I was consuming Poirot, Marple, Tarzan and Hornblower as a teen.

And you can't learn how to deal with the possibility of being dead from playing a video game. Which is why field training beats simulations.

Except the Academy instructors implicitly didn't want the cadets in actual danger.

The conceit of the exercise is strange too... why go through all that trouble when they presumably have even more advanced holodecks than the ones we've seen in the 24th century? They go out of their way to reset the ship after every exercise? Would that be like having Navy cadet dive teams go to the USS Arizona for exercises and then having another dive team go and scrub everything just to get it ready for the next exercise?

Because... Reasons!

You can't learn to fly a fighter jet without getting in the cockpit.
Sitting in front of a video game isn't going to cut it.
Do you have any family or friends who served in the military?
Ask them about "Live Fire" exercises.

A holodeck isn't a videogame.

It's able to perfectly duplicate the real world.

The Instagram pics certainly look like they made an effort to redress the SNW bridge. But then why give the CGI model a SNW bridge module if the ship was supposed to be from the 31st century?

 

[HotRod]

Too expensive, as has been pointed out. Why move production to another country when you have actual standing sets in the Greater Toronto Area?

The bridge looks pretty much like the Athena bridge. Railings with led strip lighting around tge captains chair and the helm. Same design aesthetics wise.

They both have red doors and are generally shaped like a bridge from Star Trek. That's about where the similarities end.

At least it had a proper viewscreen not the super advanced one the snw Enterprise somehow has.

How is it super advanced? It's a window with an overlay. We have that now.

If it's not real, then your response won't be real, because you'll know the Safety Protocol is engaged.
You dont train to become a firefighter with fake fire.
