Star trek academy series

Given the death toll of just the Dominion War there are way too few names on this list. And why so many admirals, a memorial like this is usually for deaths in the line of duty. It's just a complete lack of diligence on the part of the writers. THey want the cool image without understanding the context of this kind of thing.

If you do it right you can absolutely pay in universe tribute to past charaters, thinking about it now I'm surprised there has never been a USS Kirk, but the current crop lack enough talent to do it. There are plenty of ships in Stat Trek named after real people so there is precedent but the right way to do it is not have the characters absolutely fawn over the USS Kirk because they'd all know it existed or is at least a possibility. But we'd gt somewthing like "holy crap it's the Kirk. He was a legendary figure, and quite the ladies man, this is so cool."

The big problem is how much it's used. Drop the odd ship in with some random names but not a roll call of TOS named ships all together.

And whatever the context a big wall of names is just crass too.

SNW has a picture of NX-01 in the back of the conference room. It doesn't have people fawning over it like both Picard and Discovery have done (Starfleet museum and Starfleet HQ scenes)

Yar is a curious case. It depends entirely on if the Enterprise C incident is eventually widely known and if the alternate timeline version is still considered the same person. Dying in ooze probably doesn't make for a memorable historical entry. Being the tactical officer in a 4v1 last stand situation, that she knew she was going into, is the kind of thing that should get ships named aftrer you. Same for Castillo being in command at the end.

I haven't watched the teaser yet, but is there some memorial wall with a Lieutenant Nog on it? 100% Nog should be on it, but Lieutenant? Gtfo, that's Captain Nog to you

That Stargate clip has been such a perfect fit for so much of Nu-Trek. They were years ahead of the curve 😂

200 is so good episode even though it's not a real episode.

Watched this just there, seems a mix of teen drama, starship troopers, and saved by the bell. The trailer has nothing to show, no hook at all.

The beauty of a well written TV show, not one even limited to Star Trek, is that it appealed to ALL ages. Trek in the 'golden era' had young, middle, and older fans…there was no target audience, you simply enjoyed the show or you didn't.

You have no idea if this is well written or not. You are going off a trailer. Plenty of TV like Prodigy is directed towards particular age groups and ya some transcend that and some don't.

Buffy was aimed at a YA audience and absolutely only for that audience. I loved it but not a hope I would watch it now at 40.

He said there was "no target audience". That's not true of great shows being for all ages it's just that they are great and as you say "break through".

If Academy is great (I doubt it) then there is nothing wrong with it having a target audience like the vast majority of shows have.

We know little but we do know it's aimed at a YA audience. They have been quite clear about that so if the trailer is giving teen angst vibes then it is doing its job perfectly. People throwing it out as a criticism are wrong.

Aesthetically it will be very Discovery seeing as it's 32nd century. Also Discovery was a YA show by accident so the overly emotional tone will probably be the same but on purpose this time.

After 5 minutes of Obi Wan I came to terms with no having to watch every spinoff so I won't be watching this unless people start telling me I was vert wrong about it.

The idea was to create loads of shows for different people. Prodigy and Academy for certain age groups, comedy and 4th wall stuff with LD and a few general audience live action shows. It's a good idea really.

Problem was Paramount was a sht show financially and now all we are going to have is a YA show with nothing for the rest of us.

We can only hope the new owners feel the need to cash in on the IP but through design or luck do a better job than shte like Discovery and Picard (even SNW is only average). The Kurtzmann/Secret Hideout deal with Paramount is up in 2026 so that's a good start.
