They have mind reading technology, their psych evals would be better then the real thing.

Also, you don't get to choose your assignment unless you get the top couple spots, everyone else get's assigned to wherever the admiralty wants.
I remember taking the ASVAB in high school. "Clerical" was my highest score. I always assumed that if I actually did go into the military, they'd post me where I'd do well.

Of course, there is that MASH episode with a fabulous cook who is an infantryman (or something like that) so what do I know?
 
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.
Android superheroes come in many varieties.
 
Still going to keep watching it though, aren't you.
In his defence, a 5 rating I would argue is a legitimate rating an it was okay but didn't land for me rating. It's not the disingenuous ratings of 1 and declarations the show is the worst thing since the evolution of wasps from people that aren't watching it.

I do apologise if I'm misinterpreting your response but it does read a little over-reactive for this particular circumstance but words on a screen are very easy to get the wrong impression with.
It was my jelly.
So your superheroes are all wobbly?
 
The sonic stuff was also really odd. The Intrepid has a sonic weapon that works through space? And Tarima channels sonic blasts through Caleb? This just revives my Disco S3 finale PTSD :wtf:
We've had at least 3 sonic absurdities in new Trek now: A screaming kid destroys all dilithium, El-Aurians summon Q by screaming, some Betazoids can kill with psionic (?) screams, and even ships are now full of sound on furies, signifying nothing :D
 
Enjoyable.
I get that the kids get up to amorous congress but do we need to see school children have sex on screen?

iIIRC the USS Credence was based on a design intended for SNW. The 23rd century—era look of the USS Miyazaki hull makes me wonder if this is the original design. Btw, I didn’t notice the bridge was a redress. Kudos!

I hope IDW publishes that comic as a one—off. The style looked pleasantly IDW to me.

I’m a bit sad Braka killed/murdered a starbase crew in here. I was hoping he’d be the type of villain who is all bravado and show—off but ultimately ineffectual. Maybe it’s just because he’s so dang distractingly hot.

As an enlistee in the US Navy, unless you are destined for a high-priority job, you are assigned to what rating is most needed, that you qualify for, based on ability to do the job, the ASVAB score, and later, because of the ASVAB score, I took the Nuclear Field Qualification Test (NFQT). I became a Nuclear field designee before I got to Recruit Training. During physical tests in Recruit Training, they found out I had exceptional hearing, the medical staff said that I was going to be a Sonar Technician, then saw I was going into the Nuclear field and that was a higher priority to the USN than Sonar Technician. I didn't become a Sonar Technician, but instead a Nuclear Electrician's Mate. It is the needs of the service, not the individual.

I don't think the original poster criticisms were very constructive. I think if you're at the point where everything is boring and everyone is unlikable, you probably need to reconsider how you spend your time for 58 minutes on a thursday.

I don't see how my response was at all 'over-reactive'.
 
Honestly, the puritan streak I've seen regarding this episode has really been surprising. It's not even just been here - I've seen other people bring it up, as if stuff like this hasn't happend in Trek before:

I was under the interpretation this was an isolated case, sometimes a show can have one episode that flatlines for someone. As I said it seemed like a genuine opinion and unfortunately not every assessment of Academy.

Perhaps the over abundance of troll reviews has just worn me down to the point where I only see this as a response to the vitriolic people hating on every single episode. For me it just read more like a taunt, again please accept my apology if I am misinterpreting.

Not everyone who doesn't like an episode belongs in the same bucket with all the serial haters. Surely anyone can freely choose to watch 58 min of a new Trek ep once a week. That response fits the typical hater stuff, but not the post it was aimed at. Which happens a lot, people see so much constant (and unjustified) negativity from some people that they then see other people's justified negativity as more of the same, even to the point of confusing the posters with each other. It's better to address the comments actually made, not to extrapolate beyond it (IMO).

I pointed it out because I could. This is a discussion forum after all.
:shifty: Accordingly, everyone else can also post whatever they feel they need to post... :shrug:
