[Yogurth]

These look like they are aimed squarely at Eurovision Song Contest and Teletubbies fans and age!

That's an insult to both those things

The first season hasn't even aired, and Paramount has already renewed for a second season, https://redshirtsalwaysdie.com/paramount-makes-a-suprising-announcement-about-star-trek-starfleet-academy-01jakkjsd1d0

Also, Tatiana Maslany (Orphan Black and She Hulk) will be a guest star.

They've done that with all the new series, it's a way to make people think that it's worth watching

I'll watch it if that useless redhead (I think she's called Tlly? Most incompetent ensign in Trek) from ST Discovery is not in it.

 

If I remember correctly, it was one of her ideas that resolved the spore drive's primary problems when they ended up in the spore's "universe" if you will (can't remember it was back in S1). She also resolves a ton of highly technical issues... perhaps you may not take to her walking on eggshells mentality when it comes to her behavior? She always does seem to be afraid of her own shadow.

She grew on me over time.  Annoyed me in the beginning alot.

I just remember wondering how she was ever a bridge officer at all with all of her insufferable insecurities. I am sure she's a wonderful person in real life, but the character was poorly written. They even had to dedicate a whole episode to her being forced into taking the responsibility of leading cadets out of a problem of some sort as if to show how she is "growing" into her function.

Never bridge officer material and I just rolled my eyes at her scenes and eventually stopped watching the show altogether, but also because of all the lead character's cry/whisper/talking that frustrated me.

It was a bit much. I try not to skip any trek though. Stuff like that doesn’t bother anywhere as much as section 31 movie did.

Nice throwback to Sisko and is that a female Jem'Hadar?

A female Jem'Hadar makes no bloody sense whatsoever... They're a male only, genetically engineered, clone species...  Did the idiots making this not watch ANY of DS9, or bother to check a wiki, at ALL?

This is going to be crap, isn't it?

I was gonna say something similar but decided there's no point anymore. Some people like nutrek for whatever reason,.let them have it and I'll just rewatch the originals and hopefully in a decade someone new will take over and do a retcon

While I'm not trying to make an excuse for it... How many years in the future does this take place?  Is there a possibility that the Jem'Hadar were re-engineered to have a split male/female species? 

 

I think to part of the issue is they may be taking STO (star trek online) as cannon....https://memory-gamma.fandom.com/wiki/Jek'Kralija

Genetic roll of the dice and one point a female was born?  There was an episode of DS9 when Bashir and O’Brien crashed landed and ran into a bunch of Jem’Hadar and one wasn’t naturally dependent on ketracel-white (genetic anomaly). So, it’s possible a female could have been born at one point.  Plus after how many centuries have passed between DS9 and when this takes place.

They seem reptilian, which can adapt to such things. And the genetic manipulation may have either stopped or (as can happen) trigger a push back reaction. If anything it tells a story within itself, about them no longer following the founders or such

Indeed, even some of the book authors.

Starfleet Academy not only brings back traditional Klingons like Cadet Jay-Den Kraag, but it also debuts Klingon hybrids.

Commander Lura Thok (Gina Yashere) is a Klingon/Jem’Hadar hybrid who is the Chancellor Nahla Ake's First Officer and Cadet Master. Meanwhile, the villainous Nus Braka is a hybrid of Klingon and Tellarite, creating fascinating new spins on the warrior race.

As much as I was a StarTrek fan, I noped out on ST:Discovery and anything related. This doesn't look much better to me tbh.

I kinda like ST:SNW, as long as they don't do musical eposides.... 😛

I tried to rewatch ST:D (from where I left off in season 4 ep7) but my god, it's like they all have to stop and talk about their feelings every 5 minutes. It's infuriating!

Michael's whisper talking really gets to me, and she just does not have the vibe of a Captain.
