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

      The reviews you refer to mean nothing. Where there is no journalism there is no reason to call the gaming media's opinion pieces "reviews". For GP games there is indeed a metric for success - increasing subscriptions. Which turns in revenue. The only circumstance in which subs do not rise when great is being released is a Game Pass system where the company is close to fully saturated with customers in a subscription. However, in that case as the theory goes you spend aplenty in all kind of games - from shady live service cash cows and customer offending agitprop crap in purple colours to robust and entertaining single player games. And keep a solid level of profitability. Ignoring the simply innocuous but mid games MGS has released primarily of the second kind.
    • Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand by Pradeep Viswanathan Thanks to the surge of coding AI agents, GitHub's usage has skyrocketed over the past 12 months. To meet this demand, GitHub started with a plan in October 2025 to increase capacity by 10x. However, by early this year, the company realized that it needed 30x scale. This rapid growth has caused severe strain on the platform's reliability, resulting in several small outages over the past few months. In April, GitHub published a long blog post explaining the steps it is taking to resolve these reliability issues. In the post, the company also confirmed that it is working toward a multi-cloud architecture for better resilience. Today, Business Insider reported that GitHub is turning to Amazon Web Services to help deal with a major surge in AI-driven coding activity. It is important to note that GitHub is still in the process of moving completely to the Azure cloud. The current plan is to move the platform fully to Azure by 2027 so that it can scale better as per developer demand. Therefore, the current decision to utilize AWS might be part of a short-term plan to meet immediate demand. A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed that GitHub is using multiple cloud providers with the following statement: For Microsoft, the decision highlights the operational pressure behind the AI boom. GitHub has to stay reliable for developers at a time when rivals such as Codex, Cursor, Claude Code, and other AI coding tools are gaining attention. And the decision to use AWS for computing capacity seems practical given the circumstances.

      I don't believe them that anyone using threads, at least meaningfully. It's the same thing for Facebook, people just don't engage with Meta platforms like they are thinking. This isn't 2006.
