Spoilers Starfleet Academy Episode Preview Thread

[Tosk]

Ep 5 better not fuck with DS9 too hard or I'm gonna be very unpleasant to be around for a while.

Thankfully male Bajorans are finally allowed to have a hairstyle other than combed-back.

It is pretty funny how rare that is!

Though not without some precedent.

Is there a Bajoran prayer group on the Athena?

There is. It's referenced in one of the background monitor images in ep 3 or 4

An Orb and an instructor that appears to be of Cardassian and Bajoran descent

Edit: Wait, is that Tawny as the instructor?

Yes, that appears to be Tawny

And a family tree in the background? We got told Tawny wasnt playing Sisko's daughter, but could she still be A Sisko?

 

[Detached Nacelle]

That would explain how she can be considered familiar. Surely they didnt mean that just because we're familiar with cardassians and bajorans.

Maybe korena or whatever her name was still married jake in the real timeline

It certainly looks like an Orb, but it feels like that might be a holographic bait and switch unless they're taking a trip to Bajor.

Ake was living on Bajor when we first meet her, so maybe she has an in with a Vedek who can grant access to the orbs.

Tawny in the redesinged Cardassian makeup looks a little odd (isn’t the spoon part a little high on the forehead?), but even this short trailer makes it seem like she will be a fun character. Am I imagining things or does she have Bajoran nose ridges? This show sure loves its alien hybrids.

Seems like all Ake/Kelrec shippers out there might get their due this episode. Surely there must be more than just me, right? Right?!

We saw full Cardassians in Discovery and the make up was virtually identical to the original. Tawny's character looks like she is not just a cardassian/bajoran hybrid. She kinda looks a little bit like a Vaskan as well https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Vaskan

As for Kelrec and Ake. I'm getting cool older sister and nerdy little brother vibes.

Maybe.

Makes me wonder how the Federation handled the Orb of Time issue given it would be illegal for the Bajoran's to possess under Federation law.

 

[Turtletrekker]

I think this will be the first time in Star Trek that an individual will have both a writing credit and an acting credit in the same episode. Not to mention her credit as executive producer.

It probably wasn't an orb that was used much anyway given the dangers of changing the past.

They've probably just kept it safe and not really allowed the general public access to it. Prophet shenanigans not withstanding.

They probably had to keep it extra guarded during the temporal war, not like the Prophets would notice anything weird happening anyway since they don't view time as anything meaningful.

It probably wasn't an orb that was used much anyway given the dangers of changing the past.

The two times it was used, it didn't really change the past.
Both incidents were paradoxes.

True but the risk exists considering the Prophets don't have a concept of linear time or paradoxes given they just plopped the old emissary back into the past and altered history without a care.

 

[Turtletrekker]

Maybe they tossed it back in the wormhole and asked the Prophets to protect it.

 

[NCC-73515]

That chart seems to show Jake had 2 kids and a grandkid, but there's no sibling from Kasidy

They'd have to keep it extra guarded now.

Because there's an entire galaxy full of people who would want to use it to undo the Burn.

I think the best story would be that SAM discovers Sisko never returned from the wormhole and was taken away from his family forever so that she can really learn what it means to appreciate living in the moment as organics don't know how much time they have left and so in order for her people to truly reconnect with organics like they want they have to view each moment as precious just like they do.
