@mooncub.us It might be a good idea to at least check out the third season of Discovery first and then watch Starfleet Academy because Disco introduces the 32nd century and The Burn which are basically the setting for SFA.
@hannibal31.bsky.social They did.
@robinmcgovern.bsky.social Spock, I get that Edith Keeler must die to assure that Hitler loses World War II. But why must you personally drag me from one timeline to another to watch her die?
@vpcampbell.bsky.social I’m the opposite. To me high school drama is much more enjoyable when it’s wrapped in a scifi or fantasy skin. To put it another way, I would have cut Felicity a lot more slack if she had wanted to be a starship captain instead of just a cute guy’s girlfriend.
@cpgrouchy.bsky.social I would say start from the beginning but you could also treat “Way of the Warrior,” which opens season four as a sort of soft reboot. It introduces Worf to the series, kicks off a brief war with the Klingons, shows how big of a threat the Dominion has become.
@cpgrouchy.bsky.social And of course, this is when Captain Sisko attains his final bald, goateed form.
@admiralsherwood.bsky.social Also, they have corn dogs.
@rikergoogling.bsky.social Borg alcove roomier than the average New York apartment for a fraction of the price.
@gaghyogi49.bsky.social You never really see a Bajoran grabbing someone’s ear and telling them that their Pagh is weak. Maybe Shax occasionally.
@brocktoon.bsky.social In Star Trek: Picard, Jean-Luc mentions that his family fled to England after their vineyard was bombed during WWII and didn’t return to France for over a century.
@thehappyspaceman.bsky.social A lot of this comes down to the fact that the Klingons are unambiguously the enemy in TOS but have become allies in TNG. If you see Star Trek as Federation propaganda, then the change in tone makes a lot more sense.
@scribblesonnapkins.bsky.social No. But in episode seven we find out that The Burn also devastated avocado crops for more than a century. The cadets visit central Mexico to seek out the best guacamole recipes to program into Starfleet Academy’s replicators.
@rmayemsinger.bsky.social More like very small Ferengi ears. He clearly doesn’t have the lobes for diplomacy.
@feitclub.bsky.social A better view.
@zombieelvis.bsky.social I think that Vance nailed it when he said that the Betazoid President “came to say, ‘no’.” Presumably he wanted the voters at home to see him saying, “no.”
@feitclub.bsky.social To be fair, the subheading said something like, “30 officers who’ve yet to reach 30% of their expected lifespan.” So there could be a couple of 70 year old Vulcans on that list.
@feitclub.bsky.social Ahem…
@amuredda.bsky.social Hoverchair?
@shelfnerds.bsky.social I always thought that it was a huge missed opportunity that the Voth scientist from “Distant Origin” never joined the Voyager crew. How do you miss out on opportunity to have a dinosaur science officer?
