Star Trek: Starfleet Scouts in development
- Thread starter F. King Daniel
- Start date
I dunno, Apple+ seems to be doing pretty well with the multiple sftv productions of pretty good quality. No idea about ratings, but I imagine they wouldn’t be spending the money if the viewership hadn’t proved to be there?And hopefully one day it'll be on a Streaming service people actually watch.
I very much look forward to seeing the battle over whether this is canon or not on Memory Alpha.
And, just in case you say "Of course it's not," there was a battle over whether and how to get very Short Treks in there, and it was explicitly advertised as "anything but canon."
And, ultimately, they did add the show elements to their related pages, albeit not as canon.

Not by name, but we all know (or were...) the kids who can name every single dinosaur (or equivalent related to their special interest). They just soak up facts like sponges. The discovery of "canon" and finding out that some of the stuff you learned about Star Trek or Star Wars in those big illustrated sourcebooks or wiki articles isn't "real" should probably be in Erikson's list of developmental crises.

Stage: Play age 3-6 years

I think I'll be skipping this one

For what it's worth, the series clearly takes place in the distant future, well after Discovery and Starfleet Academy, at a point when humans are evolved enough that even small children (or adults appearing as such thanks to hyper-efficient biologies) can handle complex missions without the aid of full-grown adults. They aren't quite to the salamander stage yet, but the galaxy has reached the point where giant bars of soap are a threat. As was foretold so long ago.
Okay, but don't I don't want to hear you whining when you're completely lost during the big very Short Treks/Section 31/Starfleet Scouts crossover film they're releasing for the 60th anniversary. You can see the seeds being laid with details like references to macaroni and cheese, just like in "Skin a Cat".I think I'll be skipping this one
Real Star Trek fans are 47.
I think about all I have to say is,
"Oh, my!"
"Oh, my!"
I didn't even know this was announced this year. I thought this was some sudden thing they dropped on us, and honestly, yeah THIS is a show meant for young kids. I watched the trailer, and I have no interest in seeing it. I'm sure you all with small kids will enjoy watching it with them, I however am skipping this. Unless of course it somehow does pull off a "Prodigy" and somehow end up good. This really just seems meant for kids only.
It wasn't, if you exclude today anyway.
It was.
This thread exists because TrekCentral caught the trademark filing and put some other pieces together, but otherwise this would've been a complete surprise.
For anyone interested, if you click on the playlist of Star Trek Scouts, you can also see episode 2 (which was uploaded 4 days ago, but is a hidden upload)

Upvoted for Erikson reference.Not by name, but we all know (or were...) the kids who can name every single dinosaur (or equivalent related to their special interest).

One of my favorite theorists.
It happens with dinosaurs too, I felt my inner child die the day I learned Oviraptor never actually ate eggs and that dramatic death scene with the Protoceratops was misinterpreted.Not by name, but we all know (or were...) the kids who can name every single dinosaur (or equivalent related to their special interest).

I should probably actually watch these, but I didn't last thirty seconds the first time I tried. This does not seem to be the "fun for the parents, too" kind of cartoon.
"Brontosaurus never existed!"
Exactly. And I respect that. It is really meant for little kids in the way it is produced. HOPEFULLY it will attract those kids enough to become life long fans, but as someone who fell in love with Star Trek at age 3 when I first saw a random episode of TNG on TV, I think that Star Trek could still win the younger generation over without trying to do so with kid shows. But that's just me. This day and age is different and now they have their own show and I'm glad they do. I hope they really do go through basic Trek lore to show those kiddos the history and importance of Trek.
