Have you ever considered that the Prime Directive is not only not ethical, but also illogical, and perhaps morally indefensible?

  • New Star Trek: Starfleet Academy Episode 107 Photos — “Ko’Zeine”

  • It's interesting that they know that, since it's not in the official release - I suppose they may have seen the screener already.

    Jump

  • As our cadets return home for their first school holiday, they must choose between what their families expect of them and their own dreams for the future — including an aspiring captain who’s secretly willing to risk everything to re-write her own past, and an aristocratic cadet called to serve his planet way before he’s ready.

    So, definitely a Darem episode, and maybe Genesis as well?

    I can't help but wonder what Caleb's going to do for a "home for the holidays" episode. Staying at the school is possible, but it would be interesting to see him connect with B'Avi's family.

  • The Academy is a fully-functional starship, so she's both the captain and the chancellor. She's 500 years old, is a bit of a hippy, and is happy to lounge around when they're not facing a crisis.

  • The recent Star Trek series are often criticized for "not being woke enough", but I've come to feel the envelope they are pushing is much more radical, bolder, and important to our specific time...

    Jump

  • The implication is that the portrayal of bad things is somehow an endorsement of bad things, so it most certainly is not.

  • The Undiscovered Country: Why is the galley set so worn out?

    Jump

  • The one that bumps me most is the Totally-Not-Ten-Forward Office of the Federation President.

  • The Undiscovered Country: Why is the galley set so worn out?

    Jump

  • That's a good question. I found this on Memory Alpha:

    A desperate scramble among the creative staff ensued to trim as much as possible of the budget as possible; the entire prologue was (albeit painfully) scrapped, scenes were trimmed, all planned set construction for new starship interiors was abandoned (though a new Kronos One corridor set did get build ultimately), the planned live-action shoots in Alaska for the Rura Penthe scenes were scrapped as were plans for new studio models and other visual effects elements. Starship sets were to be entirely recycled from Star Trek: The Next Generation, which was concurrently in production, but was slated for its summer hiatus, when filming of The Undiscovered Country was planned to start, and only existing studio models were to be used.

    I'm guessing this set was simply not built to hold up under feature film-level resolution.

    Edit: elsewhere on the page, it says the galley was a redress of Troi's office.

  • spoiler is ok in these threads

    This is correct - honestly, spoiler protection in the community in general is minimal, but there is none at all in these threads. I can try to add that to the post body moving forward.

  • I thought about that, and concluded that the comic book probably took a lot of liberties with reality. Caleb did dismiss it as propaganda, after all.

  • It did look like a fun read.

    Definitely a darker episode. I thought it was a bit of a mixed bag, but I enjoyed the Ake/Braka development.

    I have to admit, I didn't expect them to kill off a (guest star) cadet. Earlier in the episode, I'd been thinking about how nice it's been that they've kept the supporting cast of cadets so consistent, but now we're down one. At least we still have the Delta Swallower.

    I didn't love the basic setup - using a derelict ship that people died on as a training ground didn't really sit well with me - but it was a decent story in that setting.
