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

  • The State of the 'Star Trek' Universe Coming Into 'Starfleet Academy'

    Jump

  • There's been a little bit of vagueness about the details - even in the recent SFX article, Kurtzman hedged a little bit about just how much it overlaps with Discovery.

    “The new show synchronizes with the first two years of Starfleet returning to its full form. The safest way to look at it is it’s like when Discovery ends, we begin - but there’s kind of a two-year overlap.”

    So it might be (or parts of it might be) running concurrently with Discovery season 5. It probably doesn't matter very much.

  • Quebec Premier François Legault says he will resign

    Jump

  • It sounds like the party is in the toilet, and the PQ is riding high in the polls...

  • The State of the 'Star Trek' Universe Coming Into 'Starfleet Academy'

    Jump

  • (although the ongoing IDW comic Star Trek: The Last Starship, whose writers previously teased to io9 that it had connections to the events of Starfleet Academy, suggested that the Federation was on the verge of incorporating every known galactic civilization into the Federation at the time of the Burn, with the Gorn being the last intergalactic outliers)

    Although Klingons had been mentioned multiple times across Discovery‘s later seasons, the show never explored much of what happened to the Klingons by the 32nd century.

    It's interesting that they brought up The Last Starship in one context, but didn't carry that forward to the discussion of the Klingons. As I understand it (without having actually read it), according to the comic,

    The Klingons did join the Federation, but a sect known as "The Black Path" attacked Earth in the wake of the Burn. This directly led to Earth's secession from the Federation, and presumably the Klingons' as well.

  • [USA] ‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’ Series Premiere To Stream For Free On YouTube

    Jump

  • I think they've done a decent job of giving each series its own tone and identity.

    In any case, SFA and the remaining two SNW seasons are all we're going to be getting any time soon.

  • Star Trek currently just has this new series and Strange New Worlds, which has wrapped production on its final season. 🤷

  • I mean, it's YouTube...

  • ‘Starfleet Academy’ Showrunners Talk Easter Eggs, DS9 “Love Letter,” And Keeping Star Trek Alive

    Jump

  • Curiouser and curiouser...

  • ‘Starfleet Academy’ Showrunners Talk Easter Eggs, DS9 “Love Letter,” And Keeping Star Trek Alive

    Jump

  • And episode 5 is essentially a love letter to Deep Space Nine.

    Colour me intrigued, especially since the title is reportedly "Series Acclimation Mil," which probably means it's SAM-centric.

    Even with the War College next door...

    The War College is its own thing and the conversation was very Trek, which is: Is the War College still relevant now that we’ve moved into this new age where we’re actually able to harness back to the original vision of discovery and exploration and curiosity?

    So the much-discussed War College has been confirmed to be...Academy-adjacent, separate from the Academy itself.

  • Big kudos to whoever came up with the episode one title. Very good stuff.

  • Star Trek Strange New Worlds is my favorite Star Trek series ever. I love all the risks they take and the cast is excellent. I can’t believe it’s being cut short. Give me 7, 8, 9 seasons.

    Jump

  • I have a feeling they’ve known 5 seasons was the length for a while

    I get the impression that they expected to be done after five, but they expected a full 10-episode run for each. They're on record saying that Paramount tried to cancel them after 4, and they were able to negotiate the abbreviated fifth season.

  • Is there desire for Capt. Una spin-off?

    Jump

  • I personally think it's best if a new series has some sort of "hook" that makes it unique - more of the same can be fine, but it's better to have something that says, "this is why this ship/station/crew is worth following."

  • "Starfleet Academy" early review round-up

    Jump

  • Yeah, like I said, the professional haters are pretty easy to spot.

    As far as removing negativity...well, our rules are pretty clear on that. Be respectful, explain yourself, and be truthful, and there's not going to be a problem.

  • I'm not a person who complain about lore or coherency in general, but I have a question, do Breen were in a city on ruins for five years after the Dominion War was over?

    Jump

  • I'm not certain I understand the question, but the Breen seemed relatively unscathed by the Dominion War - the front lines were nowhere near their homeworld, as far as we know.

  • "Starfleet Academy" early review round-up

    Jump

  • Yeah, good call - I think it should be self-evident that links to the online hate machine are not allowed here. We all know the usual suspects, and they're generally not hard to spot.

  • Well, I should add that I've mellowed on both series over time - I think Voyager is fine once you accept it for what it is, rather than for what it's not, and Enterprise...well, there's some good stuff in there, but it will never be near the top of my rewatch list.
