Starfleet Academy - It's Happening

Looking forward to the much-anticipated Jak'tahla flashback.

The question is, did the Jem Hadar kick their Ketracel White habit, or do they still take it (and do the ritual)?
 
I bet Odo made sure they were free from their addiction.
 
Agent Smith was right, our civilization peaked in 1999. Good luck and godspeed to the BRICS countries, at least.
 
So, I guess the captain's name is Ake, the villain's name is Braka. How long can it be until Caca makes an appearance? My guess, the first few seconds.

Also, this may have flown under the wire or at least I haven't heard of it before, but according to IMDB Stephen Colbert plays the "Digital Dean of Students". This deal keeps getting worse all the time!
 
I watched this Red Carpet Premiere thing all the way through, and it's like masturbating with a cheese grater.... slightly amusing, but mostly painful.

This shit is getting ratioed straight into the mirror universe.

The best thing about it is that it's confirmed Celia Rose Gooding has an epic rack. Those are two milk duds that will go down in Trek history.

Behold...

I was watching the latest RedLetterMedia video and one of the guys may or may not have been joking when they said that they knew a source within CBS that said views for the latest season of Strange New Worlds were around 10000. SNW is the only modern live action Trek show that anyone recommends but it's believable the numbers are in that ballpark.

Star Trek becomes a zombie IP as part of the broader collapse of American soft power, resulting in increasingly phony attempts to sell the brand to people who either won't care or like us now view it as a joke. You see it happening with lots of things but nowhere to a nerd like me is it more obvious.

I don't run any major streaming services, but it's my understanding the newer ST shows are basically just bait to lure newer fans into watching the older ST shows on Paramount+; apparently that's where the views are... TNG, DS9, etc. I haven't seen any stats on that, but it makes sense.
 
It looks like Mary Wiseman dropped a couple of tons in the interim.

For those who are giving this a shot, if you don't mind me asking ... do you typically watch YA dramas / dramedies?

If it being Star Trek is the primary driver, then did you extend the same courtesy to the pre-school show Star Trek Scouts?

Just as an aside: it makes me laugh how many fans - clearly unhappy with the state of Trek - are still hellbent on contributing to the viewing metrics. Has it occurred to these fucking idiots there might just be enough of them tuning in to keep the very thing they loathe afloat?
 
Star Trek: Starfleet Academy Review - Hesitates To Boldly Go Somewhere New

Unsure of whether to extend a hand to new fans and make a sprawling, centuries-spanning universe accessible, or to play the hits to a fanbase often frustrated at the show's continued direction, it will likely wind up satisfying nobody.

If teens do want to get into "Star Trek," well, there are far better entry points to be found on the same app this'll be streaming on.

Never even heard of Star Trek Scouts before. Didn't realize it was a thing, or I might have given it a look. Otherwise I've seen everything else Trek.

I had to look up Star Trek Scouts to find it's a Nickelodeon series aimed at Preschoolers. Yeah, uhm... I don't really watch Nickelodeon (Don't even watch Spongebob, I know, blasphemy...) but if I'd known about it...
