This guy should go to the park and play chess. I hear that's an easy way to score small unmarked bills.
News Starfleet Academy Coming to P+
- Thread starter Tuskin38
- Start date
I am a positive guy usually when it comes to Trek (shows especially). However, I am worried about this show. I hate CW shows for the most part. (I am not target audience I know at 47). However, I am afraid this will be dumbed down. I realize Star Trek has to get younger viewers as the Trek fan base is aging, but I don't want Grey's Anatomy in space (realize that is not a CW show.)
I am giving it a chance. I had similar feelings with Prodigy, but it wasn't true, and it was my favorite season 1 of any Trek ever.

CW shows get a bad rap.
I've wanted a Starfleet Academy show since I was 10. People seem convinced is must be one way, when in reality it will be different than what any of us expect.

Star Trek doesn't need to be a masterpiece every week. It just needs to entertain. Smallville was dumb as hell but I LOVED it. A lot of Trek, old and new I like just the same.
I think I've said this before, but even though I'm not interested in the premise, I think it's silly at best when folks pretend no one is interested in something. I'm sort of 'lucky' in that regard right now - I love Strange New Worlds, and I'd like to see a Legacy happen. These are both fairly loud segments of the fandom.
But I've been on the other side before! I remember how low my enthusiasm was toward Lower Decks' first season whilst plenty of people felt like (and still feel like!) it's the most 'Star Trek' show we've had in the modern era. Different strokes and all.
Anyway, I guess my only real concern re: SFA is whether it gets made. We don't know how far along in production it was, except that we can reasonably deduce it wasn't very far along. If the strikes continue long enough, it feels like the sort of thing a company might nix before it can go forward?

"No one asked for Andor!"
Guess what. We don't HAVE to ask for something to appreciate it if it's good.

Even if it is CW Trek, I'm fine with that. CW shows are noted for their good looking young people, and I'm shallow enough that that would probably be enough to hold my interest even if the scripts suck.
Although, it's true I couldn't stand that Pandora show.

So did I (for a while) but I'd be dismayed to have a Trek show with a batting average like Smallville. (As in, number of great eps vs number of awful eps per season.)
I enjoyed the Arrowverse shows too. I also like Nancy Drew.
Maybe they can have Pelia as as instructor again at the academy.
Holy shit, it just occurred to me. What if Pelia is Kovich's wife?
What if Kovich is as long lived as she is?
Kovich might end up being a Lanthanite. It could explain why he's so fond of a 21st century-style Earth suit and tie with eyeglasses.
Maybe we'll find out he's also a fan of horror movies...
I would find it more funny if he hated horror movies.
That would be very funny, indeed.
