News Starfleet Academy Coming to P+

[Yistaan]

Cadet: For the last time, the changelings are NOT gods!

Vance: Cadets, how many times do I have to tell you that we don't allow religious debates in here?

 

[Turtletrekker]

I'm glad they're going to bring in some Klingons. They were conspicuous by their absence in the last three seasons of Discovery.

Lt. H-- ... PLEASE let it be Lt. Harry Kim!

 

[NCC-73515]

This might be that biggest set ever

Combining bridge and classroom?

I guess we need a spoiler tag for the thread!

Spoiler: picture of a known recurring character

Landau adds, "It's wish fulfillment. Every week it's about a new part of coming of age. One week that can be a prank, war erupts another week, a romance begins another week, we encounter an alien species for the first time and we don't know what the hell we're doing [another week]. But at the end of every episode, what we want our audience to feel is, 'I want to go to Starfleet Academy.' Even in the deepest, darkest depths of character problems and drama, you get such a good feeling from watching this show [of] how much you want to be there so badly."

The show looks amazing!

I like those uniforms, they remind of the Yorktown uniforms from Beyond.

And that's 100% a lady Jem'Hadar. It's probably just a development from the intervening millennia or possibly a transgender individual which would be interesting. But I also think there's enough circumstantial evidence that they could have existed before the Dominion. We know they didn't create the Vorta out of whole cloth, and there's certain features of the Jem'Hadar when they're in an adolescent stage and younger in particular that don't seem to line up with them being created from scratch for their purpose.

 

[Grendelsbayne]

Until Discovery was found, he would've been considered lost with the rest of the crew, 900 years ago.

Though, in all honesty, it is just more canon splooge.

Wasn't their entire existence (not just where they went) classified to protect the sphere data?

I don't think anyone had them on a 'lost heroes' list during those 900 years.

If their existence was classified, how does one explain Culber's presence on the Wall of Honor?

 

[BillJ]

I don't think anyone had them on a 'lost heroes' list during those 900 years.

They still had to have a public explanation for what happened to him in the 23rd century. For family, friends and colleagues.

 

[Tosk]

And there was a shuttle Stamets very soon after the Discovery was lost with all hands. ("It was named after the real guy!" one might cry, however. )

Memorial for former faculty who have passed away?

This just isn't for me. I don't need to constantly be reminded of past Star Trek.

Seems a relatively minor Easter egg. A mix of names we know and names we don’t. If it had been nothing but known characters, then
I could see it as “splooge”. Including rank seems a mistake. All these characters topped off at the rank listed?

 

[Discovery McDiscoveryFace]

"ordered never to speak of Discovery, its crew, or the spore drive, ever again, on penalty of treason".
"we'll take your recommendations under advisment, Lt Spock".

or thereabouts

I think it is the general mix for me. It may well be a great show, but I've just completely drowned in CBS' continued nostalgia fest.

Jem'HaBoobs.

Because they needed boobs, because ... because of course.

 

[eschaton]

I know it's likely at least in part for budgetary reasons, but I'm really, really not liking how human-heavy Starfleet Academy is.

It's a flaw which earlier depictions had as well, but considering Earth just rejoined, Starfleet in the 32nd century should be way, way more alien-dominated than what we've seen in the past.

 

[Quinton]

Alright.

I've been a bit outspoken about my general disinterest in YA things (albeit with the important caveat that I fully recognize not everything is for me, which is fair).

But if this show looks as good in motion as it does in stillframe, holy damn, what a feast for the eyes it will be. Some sterling lighting and cinematography at play, here.

 

[Danlav05]

I usually don't njoy SFA things so I was skeptical, then they announced the Doctor and my ears pricked up, but looking at these pics... I've been drawn in

(Frakes has said this one's for the die-hards)

 

[Detached Nacelle]

I wonder if these are Academy specific uniforms or if the 32nd century has just decided to make little tweaks again. Big overhaul to the tricombadge.

The wall is certainly interesting considering some of the ranks. Does this mean Mariner never made it to captain or Torres to anything beyond lt commander?

If that is a female Jem'Hadar that is far from anything that anyone predicted. Good to see the Klingon cadet is in the science division so not a Worf clone.

 

[Tuskin38]

I love the Doctor is striking a very Doctor pose.

I think used the same pose in some of the Voyager PR images too

Well let's be exceedingly frank here. There are a sizable number of planets with human looking (ie no prosthetics of any kind showing any biological difference from Earth's look like) aliens on them that have been presented on Trek for the last 60 years or so. And that doesn't even take into account the planets that were colonized by actually Earthers that have been shown on Trek for 60 or so years.
