Saw the teaser... a bit too teenage angsty for my tastes, until the show proves me wrong, but I'm looking forward to it... Molly Hunter's voice struck me as a little odd--like a female Cartman tonality...just please, no 90210 in space... And hopefully ratings will justify a return to TOS as the next Trek installment.

And what do you know, they look just like humans with no expensive prosthetics!
EDIT: Angst? Didn’t notice any.
Why?
We just got through with it!
Budget issues? (Mergers don't come cheap!
)This show is giving early Dr. Who a run for its money in the race for penny-pinching sci-fi!
Just like the good old days.
Is it me, or are those PADD's just modern Tablets with a funky protective casing around it?

Of all the new #StarFleetAcademy photos, this one is my favourite. You can see (full) images of the planets Illyria and Tellar Prime for the first time, Tellarite writing and the species' emblem and I think I can make out the Vidiian emblem. I'm sure will love this set once the show airs! :-)bsky.app
Somehow I doubt the budgets are comparableThis show is giving early Dr. Who a run for its money in the race for penny-pinching sci-fi!
They have one heavy make up cadet, the Klingon and one minor make up cadet., Bella Shepard's character. That about right for a Star Trek show. Plus a few heavy make up reoccurring characters.
A distinction without much of a difference. Point is, productions use mobile devices for display screens in sets instead of having to program independent monitors and computers.I thought they used iPhones?
This. We're long past the days of the slashed budgets of the final seasons of TOS and Enterprise.
Lack of funny noses notwithstanding, it all looks lavish enough to me.This show is giving early Dr. Who a run for its money in the race for penny-pinching sci-fi!
September 8, 1966, to be precise. Trek's more woke than an insomniac with diarrhea.
"But there can't be any female Jem'Hadar. The Founders cloned them all as males."
Okay. Three points.
#1. This character is half-Jem'Hadar, half-Klingon, so not cloned. Different genders can result if you don't create beings in a cloning facility with strictly controlled genetic codes.
#2. It's been nearly 820 years since the Dominion War. I guess now there ARE female Jem'Hadar.
#3. What, are you an idiot?

But what IRL Smart Device would you use for the next Tricorder or PADD?
Assuming that production is going to make a new one?
Would you go with a Tablet Size (Small / Med / Large Options are available), Smart Phones, Phablets, Foldables?
I know China has the Tri-Fold Smart Phone available.
I know they used a modern Moto Razer Folding Phone for the Tricorder in PIC S2

Like I said. Not the sharpest Mugatu horn in the tool shed.
And if not the Alexander Courage march, the TMP theme, which I believe some fans have christened "The Starfleet March" as an unofficial anthem for the organization.
I'd use whatever is the most cost-effective for the production and design around that.
Ah, makes sense.
Go for cost of device first, than program around it for the GUI and make some cases.
Trip is also on the wall.
