Spoilers Starfleet Academy General Discussion Thread

I think the fact that the reviews so far have been mostly positive has riled the toxic fandom up. They were expecting reviewers to join them in declaring it the worst Trek ever made, and the fact that this hasn’t happened has whipped them into a frenzy where they feel the need to whine even louder.

No they weren't. The reviewers loved std but stsr trek fans hated it. Look it up in rotten tomatoes. We all knew the reviewers would love this new one.
 
I am a Star Trek fan. I didn’t hate Discovery. I didn’t think it was the best either but it wasn’t awful. I give it props for trying some new things even if in many cases those did not work out.
Exactly so. Hatred is too exhausting for me right now to watch something and hate it.
 
A ban on time travel doesn't mean that time travel doesn't exist or can't happen, simply that you're not supposed to do it. And nobody in the 32nd actively sought a time travel solution for Georgiou. In fact, Kovich basically said "sucks to be you" to her and was prepared to let her die a painful death. Nobody except Zora had the slightest inkling that the Guardian of Forever had relocated itself to that distant planet. Did Burnham break the law by letting her friend save herself by stepping through the portal? Probably. Good for her.
 
Thats a fair point, though I doubt ground facilities would need them unless they needed weapons. i'm not sure if the fusion reactors would be enough for ground shields.

Though that does beg the question. In Picard season 3 we see earth's planetary shield in that battle. If they used dylithium to generate the shield, I would assume that it would be the same 600 years later. I would imagine that would blow a large size chunk out of the earth

Either way my argument is not really between the burn and when disco arrives. It all the years upto the burn.
Starbases used fusion reactors not Matter/Anti-Matter.

Also, Earth's planetary shield in Discovery wasn't even a fraction as strong as the planetary shield in Picard, so there's that.
 
So one of the previewd shows a cadet talking to the doctor. She tells him she swallowed he comm badge. Really? I thought starfleet cadets were the best of the best of the best. Somehow she was chewing he comm badege and swallowed it? Yeah she'll make a great captain one day. Lol
 
At least some level of consistency is important.

Yeah, tell that to all of the writers. The tech always does what the story has asked. Don’t pretend differently.

It’s great to talk about qualities of others when one can’t take two seconds and proof their post. Use a spellcheck, dude. Seriously.

"From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs."

If you're Wesley standards for getting into Starfleet are really high, like you have to be an astonishing once-in-a-generation math genius.

For other people: not so much.

Sorry you werent able to figure out what the typos were supposed to be. Im using my phone. But I fixed it for you to make it easier on you. Still saying typos are the equivalent of someone swallowing a large comm badge is pretty strange dude. Lol. But hey whatever.

I thought that was odd, too. I know it’s supposed to be a light comedic moment, but the way the doctor even says “Already?” makes it sound like it’s a common occurrence. Maybe they are somehow delicious? :lol:

And I suppose they weren’t able to be too picky for this first class of the Academy in 100 years or so. ;)
