Spoilers Starfleet Academy General Discussion Thread

That shirt is older than him lmao

Wikipedia and M-A don't have his age listed, but I found an interview saying he's 26

He looks 30.

Genesis would be to obvious IMO. Seems to me the more interesting thing to do is have a character find a new purpose than the one they had when joining. She wants to be Captain. She becomes Captain. Doesn't seem all that interesting of a arc. Also one of them needs to be killed. The message needs to be made that exploring space is dangerous and people will die. In fact I people die a lot in Starfleet. That is one of the prices that come with the job. It's not just about having fun and meeting cool aliens. It comes with danger and responsibility and also your ethics will be challenged at points and even broken.

Yeah. That would be more interesting. Just her complaining she needs to be captain because of her family and ends up as captain would be boring. But its obvious at this point thats where they are going with it. But the show will never reach far enough to show these cadets getting their careers anyway.

For me, its not, she thinks she's got a clean run to the centre seat, but she's going to end up being humbled, and/or realising that's not where her destiny lies. If anything, she might be the one most likely to end up with the contemporary Fenris Rangers or defect to the Venari Ral.

You should know that in the actual episode that line from the trailer about needing to be captain in actual context just meant captain of the sports team. Just watching trailers can give you a false impression because of how they're edited.

Marketing is such a lying racket. Truly something I find despicable.

I saw the episode. But because of her father becoming captain is her goal. No less.

I doubt the Fenris Rangers would still exist. They are kind of like The Maquis. Once the political issue they are fighting over ends then they have no purpose to exist anymore. The Romulan situation must have gotten fixed when they had Unification with the Vulcans and now share the same planet.
 
I’m going to guess that maybe part of Genesis’ arc involves learning that doing what one loves to do is more important than what family expectations are.

I don't think we know what she loves to do at this point. We only know what is expected from her. A easy way to go would to say she would want to be a artist of some kind. Which I guess would sort of be Jake's arc a little on DS9. Instead of following his dad into Starfleet he choose to become a writer.

No, but someone with this strong of conviction this early on would have a better story arc with that as opposed to living into daddy’s expectations. I imagine she’ll be in Starfleet. Just realizing she has a different path other than command.
 
Have really enjoyed the first three episodes so far. We can assume Daniels was correct when he said the Klingons joined the Federation by the 31st century. However, and I know they are just rebuilding the Federation - it would be great if they could give some hints of the galactic powers and their status in this century. All is fuzzy.

We know from DISCO that the Federation (even diminished), Breen Empire, and Emerald Chain were three of the largest powers.

Bajor being one of thirty worlds imply that "mini-Federations" also exist.
 
If they bring the Breen back I hope they ignore what was did to them on Discovery. It seems those Breen also joined up with the Discovery Klingons and Remans to go out into the unknown part of space, forever to never return. They also too all of humans civilian clothes with them also, which is why they now have to wear old looking stuff from the present day.

It's all part of a grand story. While they leave we see the return of Trip and Tuvix who neither died. Barclay who is one TNG character I still want to see again. All aboard the Enterprise-D now compete with the other sets besides the bridge restored! With William Shatner back as Kirk and in command of the ship! :)
