Spoilers Starfleet Academy General Discussion Thread

[Set Harth]

In fact, despite Star Wars' position, I cant think of any show they've made lasting longer than 2 seasons.

I guess you're not counting cartoons?

My grandma knew him and called him Mars Bar Head.

No, it was specifically said the War College trained Starfleet officers after the Burn.

Earth was not a member anymore, they only had the EDF.

That's one possibility people have considered, my favorite would be the 5th dimension from Captain Proton

Not in any conceivable scope or scale. Star Trek never has nor ever will bring in the kind of money that those above listed franchises bring in.

The success of Star Trek 2009 was handled horribly. They waited too long to go for a sequel.
Marvel churned out Iron Man 1, Hulk, Iron Man 2, Thor, Captain America, Avengers 1 and Iron Man 3 in that same timeframe.
Abrams, for all his faults, actually had a grand plan for Trek, but Paramount/CBS balked at that.

Whatever helps you sleep at night.

It has massive brand recognition but that doesn't necessary mean it has lots of fans. Characters like Kirk and Spock and the Starship Enterprise are known to people who have never watched any of the actual shows or maybe they have seen a few from time to time over the years.

Exactly what I mean.
I've never read nor watched Harry Potter but I know the basic story cuz it's so fucking huge and influential.
Same thing with Dragonball Z or One Piece before the Netflix adaptation.
Even if people aren't fans, they know who Kirk, Spock, Picard and Seven of Nine are.

'War fighter'? Such an idiotic way of saying soldier. Your hegseth is showing.

'War' College, just shown in SFA, which seems to be a different thing from regular Academy in the 31st century.
And the pic I posted are of these young students that are NOT in the 'war' college, that's why I said war fighter.
These arent soldiers, try to keep up beyond your stupid desire to politicize everything.

I dearly wish that were the case and we were looking at Lower Decks, Discovery and SNW carrying on comfortably beyond their five seasons, a long future ahead for Academy, the Star Trek United project on its way and a slew of Michelle Yeoh Section 31 films. This is sadly not the world we live in.

As I said above it's all CBS /Paramount's fault.
Like the only show that even charted was PIC S03 for multiple episodes.
And whether anyone accepts it or not, we all know why.

CBS and Paramount were unaffiliated at the time, and CBS controlled Paramount's ability to produce Star Trek films.

Yes, I know that. It was shortsighted of both CBS and Paramount to kill what could have been their Marvel.

Maybe?

I barely know Dragonball Z and confuse it with Naruto constantly. No clue what One Piece is. No clue the story of Harry Potter beyond "Chosen One/Hero with a Thousand Faces" rip off, and that hilarious Amazon review insisting that Tolkien ripped of Rowling when writing Harry Potter.

Kirk and Spock and maybe Picard. Seven? I'd be shocked if there's knowledge outside science fiction circles.

Perhaps, but you are making huge assumptions about the desirability and simplicity of the two corporations cooperating with one another. Certainly, Les Moonves had little interest pursuing Star Trek beyond keeping the old material in circulation, and his roadmap for CBS led elsewhere. He didn't want to be in the business you want. (Not until he needed a pretext to launch a streaming service.)

I'm aware of what the war college is. It's stands to reason that Starfleet cadets get complimentary training at the college because the galaxy is still a hostile place and the change from warriors to explorers is slow. There are multiple different ways to describe Starfleet cadets getting combat training, War Fighter just seems like a cringe choice to use. But you do you

That would mean the student from the fifth dimension is attending the Academy with the President of Earth!
