So how's ST academy. I am too scared to watch it yet.
(it irritates me paying for Paramount+ on top of Amazon Prime, which is how we have to do it in the UK)
Same here. It bothers me a lot...not quite enough to go back to sailing the high seas, but close.
Okay I watched. I still hate what Star Trek has become because of Discovery, Star Trek was the bright shining future utopia we should all hope for. ST Discovery and Academy (because of a child temper tantrum of all things) is now a dystopian future with scant resources fighting for survival. Yet this is juxtaposed against technology indistinguishable from magic where food appears from thin air, matter can be programmed and built on a whim and ships are part matter and part energy. I like the science magic, I hate the dystopian background. If you want to make your own show please just do that. At least Klingons are back as they should be.
The show is a little too much teen angst and hormones (Horny), a Half-Klingon, half-jem-hadar female is I think lore breaking for two reasons (Its hundreds of years int he future so yes they can hand waive it but why?). The Doctor is always a pleasure (Voyagers best character, but he seems to have regressed character wise). Its not star trek unless we have a non human character trying to understand what it means to be human (not the doctor).
Currently I have a little more free time than usual and Ill keep watching but its 50:50
Help
