Spoilers Starfleet Academy General Discussion Thread

Will he, though?

Tune in next week to find out! Same Bat time. Same Bat Channel!

 

[Campe]

Will he, though?

Likely not.

If Brad Boimler had behaved the way Mir did when he first arrived at the Academy, he would have likely been similarly slapped down and would have deserved it.

If Brad Boimler had done that in the 24th century he probably would have had a student come up and offer to help him with his bag all the while piling the guilt on him for acting like a drama queen.

Brad was often slapped down anyway.

By Mariner, which was punching sideways since they were the same rank.

She is still referred to as an instructor some 30 years later where she's the longest serving Academy staff member ever but there's wiggle room there with what instructor means, there's no rule that says the chancellor can't also teach a class.

The writers also don't have to follow anything in the flash forward if they don't want to.

Making fun of poor performers is Starfleet tradition.

This is literally the kind of thing you've repeatedly complained about the writers of the current era of Trek shows doing. You don't get to have it both ways because you don't like Discovery.

 

[Danja]

The one time they didn't complain about the zippers was in ENT, but at that point they couldn't stop complaining about the Romulans having cloaks in the 22nd century.

Spock wore a poncho in TMP.

 

[Turtletrekker]

Spock wore a poncho in TMP.

And he looked good in it.

 

[Danja]

And he looked good in it.

Indeed.

No temporal defenses means time isn't fixed for them.

What a convenient excuse.

Most technobabble is.

Why can't we use that magic thing again?

'Cause...reasons.

 

[Set Harth]

Given she was openly laughing I'd say that was more a case of her knowing her boss would let her get away with it.



Still violating bodily anatomy in a way that would ruin the life of people from certain cultures.



She can say what she want's, but we see him go on to complete his registration right after that.

Violating body autonomy? Caleb signed up to be a cadet. Starfleet has rules and regulations for hair, appearance, etc. (Seen and mentioned throughout the franchise, like Kirk to Saavik in TWOK or Tuvok to those Maquis recruits in "LEARNING CURVE".) You sign up for something, you follow its rules, regulations, and codes. Just like any job, or military, in real life.

I watched the first episode and half the second. Its a teen melodrama. Sorry.

I would say SFA is at least half teen melodrama, so I partly agree with this.

Why would we? Enterprise was 100 years before tos. It was supposed to look look more primitive. The clothes looked closer to our own period. But enterprise is about 125 years from now. STSA is about 1200 years from now 12 centuries is a hell of a lot more than 1.25 centuries.

 

[fireproof78]

It was supposed to look look more primitive

So, the uniforms did.

The tech felt about the same, save for different terminology. ENTERPRISE tried and was, meh.

 

[StarTrek1701]

Nobody is loving this show that's for sure..

And if you violate those regulations you get written up.

They dont hold you down and shave you.
