I really hope they spin-off Picard with the Enterprise G (they could probably do without Picard's 42 year old 'son' though and find someone actually in their 20s)

I was really hoping they would have gone with Jerri Ryan and a Titan series which would have included Jack and could have brought back any of the TNG characters at any time.

Todays episode was good.

I like the fact that it was multifaceted, not only focusing on the cadets trama but also the doctors.

 

I liked it except for the appearance of the most incompetent Starfleet officer in any century. So I forwarded those bits.

‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’ to End With Season 2

So much for a 4 year run...

The only Trek I've liked since the TV reboots is Strange New Worlds, Lower Decks and Picard. They share a common theme too, being out there exploring with competent Starfleet officers!

I love Star Trek and have an emotional family memories spanning a few decades.

Having said that I found this season to be extremely disappointing. While it had two above average episodes the rest were rubbish.

I just can't accept a homosexual Klingon and also found the character of SAM to be annoying and what happened to Holly Hunter, has she had a stroke at some point? She talks out of the side of her mouth. It rates 4.4 on IMDB and I'm surprised it has a second season.

Just my opinion.

This show would have been utter poo if it wasn't for the Paul Giammatti character.

Agreed with SNW and Picard. Never watched Lower Decks.

Did you not like Star Trek: Discovery?

Absolutely not. Michael Burnham, Tilly? ugh can't stand them. There was so much wrong with that show, putting emotionally unstable people on the bridge and officers with the mental age of a preteen (Tilly). And it lasted 5 seasons!

Burnham was a classic Mary Sue, and Tilly... Yeah, agreed.  And Academy got off to a GREAT start with one of the cadets swallowing her combadge...

The sooner Kurtzman is gone from Trek, the better.

you're missing out on Lower Decks, it's pretty good and lots of references to old shows as well.
ST:D...... It says enough doesn't it?? 😛

I put on lower decks and it was very loud and my head hurt. 

Also references to old star trek does not necessarily make good star trek.

I watched the first season of Lower Decks but never got around to seeing more than the odd random episode here and there after that. It's not that it was bad, it just didn't grab me.  It was too much like Futurama in a Trek skin for me, really.

I watched a few episodes of Lower Deck, and I couldn't wrap my head around the premise of Star Trek being silly and haven't watched any more of it.  One day I'll go back and watch the series.

    • Major Xbox layoffs may claim South of Midnight developer Compulsion entirely

      I agree. I also think Phil stayed too long. They should definitely fire whoever thought all a console platform needed was Call of Duty, Elder Scrolls, and Fallout to survive. Asha and crew are still saying they need more Elder Scrolls and Fallout games. They simply don't get it.

    • Mozilla highlights Firefox Nova 2026 redesign and more upcoming features with new roadmap

      Mozilla highlights Firefox Nova 2026 redesign and more upcoming features with new roadmap by Sayan Sen Last month Mozilla confirmed that Firefox was set to get a major redesign this year. Dubbed "Project Nova", it can already be tested and will roll out to all users later this year.The idea is to keep the browser competitive in a rapidly evolving internet landscape. As such the revamp focuses on improving privacy, usability, performance, accessibility, and customization. Key privacy features including the built-in VPN, private browsing mode, and Enhanced Tracking Protection, will be more visible and easier to manage, while users will have the option to disable AI features entirely through a dedicated kill switch. Additionally, the redesign promises faster page loading, the return of Compact mode, expanded personalization options, and stronger accessibility support. You can find the full details in the dedicated piece linked above. In a new blog post today the company once again reiterated on Nova and also emphasized other new and upcoming features like the settings revamp that is intended to make it easier for users to understand browser settings. In order to make it simpler for users to keep up with such features Mozilla today is launching Firefox roadmap. Hence enthusiasts and interested users will be able to check out what's cooking and also share feedback about the upcoming additions. Alongside the roadmap announcement, Mozilla also highlighted what's new in Firefox 152. One of the biggest additions is the arrival of Tab Groups on Android. The feature, which has already been helping desktop users organize large numbers of tabs, is now beginning to roll out on mobile. Users will be able to group related tabs together, assign names and colors to them, and return to them later. Mozilla says support for iOS will arrive later this year. Firefox 152 also introduces the aforementioned redesigned Settings experience. The company says the changes are meant to make controls easier to find and help users discover features they may not have previously known about. Existing preferences are not changing, though they are now better organized. Another notable addition is the new Blocked Tracker Widget, which provides a visual overview of Firefox's privacy protections by showing how many trackers have been blocked over time and the types of tracking activity the browser has stopped. Looking ahead, Mozilla revealed several upcoming roadmap features. They include customizable keyboard shortcuts, as well as enhanced PDF editing tools that will allow documents to be split, merged, and reorganized directly within Firefox. The company is also working on bringing Multi-Account Containers into the native Firefox experience thus removing the need for a separate extension. Meanwhile Firefox's built-in VPN is set to expand to mobile devices. Mozilla is also developing AI-powered features like Quick Answers, which can provide concise responses to voice queries, and Smart Window, its optional AI browsing experience that is now available without a waitlist. Finally, a new Power Saving Mode is in the works and will help reduce the impact of resource-heavy tabs on mobile devices in order to extend battery life. The video below summarizes the upcoming changes in an easy to understand format: You can find the announcement blog post here on Mozilla's official website.

      Dead on arrival at that price. Like they missed the mark by multiple hundreds of dollars - this should actually undercut the Macbook Air at $899 if they want any sort of sales / further adoption of WoA
