Star trek academy series

Space Above and Beyond for a short but really nice little series too. Firefly is there for another short cracker.

Kinda falls apart in the end but still worth it.

Space Above and Beyond! I thought I was the only one who remembered that! I watched it as a teen.

I would caution that it does unfortunately end on a cliffhanger since there was only one season.

It comes up pretty regularly around

Ive recently been watching Disco(dont judge me!), and actually, the first 2 seasons aren't that bad. The season 2 finale I really enjoyed with Disco preparing to fight off the Section 31 fleet, and then the Klingons arrive to aid Disco, I found it quite rousing and really enjoyed that episode.

From Season 3, there is a marked degradation in quality though.

I read an article on, I think ScreenRant, which made the point that perhaps setting ST Academy so far into the future is a mistake because it is not the usual small incremental improvement/upgrade we are used to. Instead, by setting it so far into the future (900 years), it gives them few places to go, less problems to solve, less to discover.

I sometimes think I like early Disco but when I rewatch the amount that everything revolves around Burnham is even worse than I remember and ruins it. Her mother being the Red Angel was the point I gave up on Disco. If it wasn't for lockdown I wouldn't have seen any more after that.

Some early episodes were alright. Like that one where Mudd keeps resetting the day.

What do you mean he won?

Yes its one of the few good episides

Awe OK.

So i watched the above two trailers -

Been reading some of the comments here, and indeed on each video. Certainly a lot of hate being directed at this show, both trailers seem to be ratio-ed quite substantially

In terms of what we see, there is a lot of fan bate. 'The fate Of Benjamin Sisko', obviously voyagers Doctor, a JemHadar instructor at the academy. No real idea of what the main plot will be, or if it will take on a more episodic based stories.

I will probably watch this series after it finishes airing, and take the comments of fans on this thread, as an indication of how good (or bad) it is. There was a time, when i would be first in line to watch any new Star Trek, but those days are over. The Disaster that was Disco, the dissapointment of Picard, and the hit and miss of recent SNW; im not filled with enthusiasm.

I still havent watched Section 31, which remains the only Trek i havent even speed watched through. I could only just tolerate fast forwarding through Disco season 5, and i saw enough to know it was trash. I just cant bring myself to watch Section 31, having read the comments and reviews. So as a trekkie, I am now capable of saying, 'thanks but no thanks' to elements of the franchise.

I think I am roughly expecting this series to be more Discovery-like, and therefore it wont be my cup of tea. If it turns out different, and people sing its praises, il gladly enjoy binging it after the season finale. Im never enthusiastic about fan bait, and the inclusion here reeks of desperation. We would all love to see Siskos story tied up, but i doubt we will get that. Is there going to be any explanation of a seemingly female Jem Hadar working for Starfleet, with no Katracel White? The only person i cannot help be interested in, is the Doctor, and for obvious reasons. But if this turns out to be trash, I will loath his involvement with it. NuTrek (excluding SNW) seems destined to continually bait us into being enthusiastic. One wonders if anyone really considers Discovery: Unification III, to be the third part of the original Unification TNG episode. I certainly dont, i recently watch TNG Unification, and the brief reminder i had about Disco only served to annoy me.

I will be more interested to see if they bring out a new show, after the finale of SNW. Will we get something from the lost generation (between Undiscovered country, and TNG)? Perhaps we get a Sevin of Nine mini series. Something else from TNG or even the SNW time-periods would interest me more. I hate the Disoc era federation, i have literally no interest in it. And I loathed 'the burn' as a concept. Writers clearly felt they must destroy the Federation so that Michael Burnham could rescue it. Which was deplorable to me.

Anyway, interested to hear what people think. Im not optimistic, but we will just have to wait and see.
