Starfleet Academy - It's Happening

I vaguely thought of sending you a link to Zoë Steiner's Instagram to get you to watch...

The Betazed diplomacy storyline worked reasonably well for me. I was a bit confused by the sign language at first, but I honestly just rolled with it. I found myself quite happy just watching a straightforward Federation political problem play out. The Federation being desperate to rebuild trust, the uncertainty around whether Betazed would rejoin, that all felt very Trek. Why this is happening at the Academy is a stretch, but whatever. I also appreciated the restraint of not having some assassin plot or other MAJOR event sabotage it.

It always bothered me a bit that Federation HQ, Starfleet Academy and the Federation HQ are all on Earth, so actually moving one to a different planet was exciting!
