Spoilers Star Trek Academy [spoiler thread]

[Echohawk]

Interesting Easter Egg, early in Episode 2, but I thought that the Charonites were extinct.

That's not new to Starfleet Academy. There was still at least one Cheron native alive in 2324, according to the Star Trek: Section 31 movie. That's more than half a century after TOS episode Let That Be Your Last Battlefield.

I thought the half black, half white species was down to two survivors on ToS? But there was one in episode one?

I found it near unwatchable. The fast talking and screaming, the characters feel more like archetypes than people. It’s like they took ST and set it at 1.5x. I could barely understand them half the time.

I liked the beginning premise but then they got to the Athena and the show fell apart.

I wanted to give it a shot but I cannot see watching any more. I like Holly Hunter and the main lead but not enough to carry the show.

Never saw it. Never plan to. Same continuity though.

I don't subscribe to Paramount+ so I can't watch this yet. Hoping it will be available on our free TVNZ On Demand service like Discovery and Strange New Worlds are (although I note those are down to the most recent seasons of each only, so I guess if I wanted to go back and watch them from the beginning, I'd have to subscribe to Paramount+ anyway ...).

Good chat.

I wonder if the whale's name was Gracie, in addition to being pregnant?

I was kinda hoping for a memberberry, but then I remembered that memberberries jerk me out of the narrative. But then me even thinking that did the same. So they might as well have included it,

I love how snarky you are!

I'm following along in this thread to enjoy the show vicariously since I can't watch it myself yet. I've done that with a number of others as well. Y'all know I don't care about spoilers. My children are always complaining about how I like to spoil things for myself. LOL.
