Starfleet Academy Official Trailer

[Danja]

This. Star trek is a universe where very little changes from time period to time period. So whatever story they're telling would be fine for any era. This was the era they chose so they could reuse DSC production assets.

Also, they didn't want to be bound by past "canon."

Different characters from other TV shows making guest appearances. Not much else. The ships and the tech in any Star Trek series do whatever the writers want them to do in a given episode.

The thing is, whatever century TPTB decided to set a Starfleet Academy series in, the usual suspects would be complaining that it was too CW or too woke or just a bad idea that should never have made it to series. Because that's basically what's happened every time the idea's come up over the last few decades.

Agreed. Not a single episode aired but we already know exactly how the show is going to go. Impressive!

Now, where are the winning lottery numbers?

Also, they didn't want to be bound by past "canon."

A good choice.

Good or bad. Im not really looking forward to this show. Trek is so oversaturated now. Been running way too long without a break. I have liked only 1 season of Picard and 2 of Disco since the end of Enterprise. My brain is tired of it. Except for the legacy stuff. I can watch that stuff till I die ...

Anyhow the trailer looks just meh to me. Maybe it will be awesome. Who knows...

True but I wish they would have placed it in the 25th. That would have solved the problem. Plus the 25th century has the unique lcars look. The producers made the 32nd century looks like 23rd century STD. So it all looks like the same time period now.

I'm okay with the concept, I just have this lingering thought in the back of my mind that I'm not going to be the audience for this. I suspect that after I watch the first episode, I'll most likely think, "It's good for what it is... " but then I'll either pass on it, or I'll binge the rest of the first season at the end.

I could be wrong, but that's what I'm leaning towards thinking will happen. I felt way more excited about Picard before it started. As soon as I saw that trailer in the Summer of 2019, that was it. I was in. With Discovery, I could've gone either way until "Context Is for Kings" got me hook, line, and sinker. So, yeah, we'll see.
