This episode was the biggest disappointment so far. Just boring from beginning to the end, none of the cadets remotely appears interesting or relatable to me, and the bad guy's endless monologue tempted me to fast forward because it was so pointless and cringy. The last time I found a new Star Trek episode that boring was when DSC was still on.

5/10

Still going to keep watching it though, aren't you.

Later add-ons to the franchise.

Supergirl has been around for almost Seventy years. Krypto even longer,

The LSH was never my jam.

Obviously.

I guess, if you equate that to a "Super Power".

I do, because "superpowers" aren't limited to biology or physiology

It's oddly specific and very limited in what it is useful for though.

Like many superpowers.

True, but Data isn't designed to operate like one.

Like what? A superhero? Few are, but many answer the call

Yes. Episodes 4 and 5 were decent enough, imo. And I also made it through DSC. I'm just afraid it gets more and more unlikely STA will become one of my favorite Star Trek shows.

Not every star trek show has to be your 'favourite'.

I watch Trek to have fun and delve into the lore and characters, and it's purely circumstantial if that series ends up in my Best of Trek pantheon.

The point of the monologue was to be cringy and over the top.

It was Braka messing with Ake so she would hyperfocus on him and the immediate situation instead of the bigger picture.

Why do you feel the need to point that out? Did I say it has to?

It was just a kind of writing from the authors that doesn't resonate with me at all.

Exactly.

I pointed it out because I could. This is a discussion forum after all.

It was my jelly.

It’s possible, but it seems unlikely to me now.

The first episode made it seem like Caleb’s transmission was what alerted Braka to Athena’s location. It would have been somewhat coincidental to have planned such an attack beforehand since Ake wasn’t offered the position as Chancellor until the day before and she picked up Caleb. I think it’s hard for there to be a spy involved unless Braka was already planning the attack beforehand since Ake was offered the position. I guess it would explain how Braka was able to put his plan together so quickly.

For this episode, there seemed to be an alternate explanation offered since the War College had been doing this training mission for five years, so Braka could have planned the attack for a long time.



I’ve found that using the Ignore function on some users has made using this forum more enjoyable.

There was a Star Trek: Invasion! crossover book series from 1996 that had Furies as the antagonists. I believe they have different origins in that series. I think it was the first crossover book series across all four live-action shows at the time.

The Furies were the big baddies in the novel's "Coda" Trilogy published in 2021. They were written by Dayton Ward, James Swallow, and David Mack, in that order. Those books were meant to "reconcile" the post-DS9 novel timeline with the on-air timeline by the time of the end of Picard, season 3.

So Data has really good Shock Absorbing Legs & Tough Bullet Proof Outter Shell.
He's also incredibly kind and catches Lily Sloane when she faints.

Not quite what I envisioned for a Android based Super Hero.

Marvel's Vision is more what I'm EnVisioning for a Android type Super Hero.

Yeah, the Feds were working pretty diligently throughout the thing to solve the problem, and they did. This was a story obviously meant to center Tarima and to move multiple character and storylines forward - Braka, SAM, the relationship between Jay-Den and the guy from the War College, Nahla's backstory, and more.

Everything about it worked well and some of it very well.

I wonder if it will move the SAM-Doctor relationship forward as well. I mean, they can't very well call the Kasq homeworld and ask them to fix her, right?

So, how did Cadet Pickford make it past the psychological screening to get admitted into the Academy? Between eating her comm badge, walking in circles repeating red alert in the premiere and now having a complete meltdown upon seeing a corpse floating in space, she really doesn't seem up to serving in Starfleet.

And before anyone starts with "she's young, this is likely her first corpse" I point out Genesis and Darem are probably the same approximate age as her, and this could well have been their first time seeing someone killed, but they kept it together a lot better.

Nepotism??
