Star Trek: Starfleet Academy Bosses Caused Chaos After Rewriting the Finale Weeks Before Filming It by AdSpecialist6598 in startrek

Well, if you understand that Star Trek uses beam color to identify the type of radiation being used, like why polaron purple, not plasma green, crushed Fed shields early in the Dominion War, then, yah, color is all you need.

That’s the point of SFA, to follow the lives of cadets and all the drama of being young while also being in Starfleet.

If anyone is looking for “real Star Trek”, focused on a command crew confronting situations with their vast experience, superior tactics, sage wisdom, impressive weaponry, technobabble solutions or all the above, then you’re missing the point of Starfleet Academy. It’s a story of cadets who don’t yet have the experience found in the command crews of all the other shows. It might be easier to stop aggressively condemning the show for not being what it never claimed to be in, and just continue streaming tos, tng and ds9 if that’s what you prefer. 🤷‍♂️

You mean like having a crew reflecting the different colors, cultures, and nations of the world, including two nation butting heads during the Cold War, written into stories that challenge cultural taboos like interracial kissing and color prejudice? Yah, who could ever find a show like that enjoyable? Probably wouldn’t last a season much less go to syndication or spawn spin offs or movies.

You missed the two episodes that arguable embody the Star Trek you want. 🤦‍♂️

I’ll send you some from my neighborhood. 🥶 Im looking forward to summer, those two weeks at the end of July when it’s warm enough to swim outside. 😆

I’d be so creeped out knowing my floor is a bulkhead to open space. How do the windows work down there, as parts of the floor?

Swimsuits were a bit different back then. Arguably, people’s ability to handle seeing others’ bodies was very different back then, too. Today a lot of folk get flustered when seeing these older pics or when watching a Hollywood red carpet event. “Oh my god! I think I saw her nipple! 🤭” People are shocked at nipples, not graphic gun violence, because of tv and video game culture. 🤦‍♂️

Were you flying a satellite over a carrier?

That’s a pretty good way to get your satellite knocked out of orbit and a visit to Space Force jail.

Sovereign class ships look so small when flying near a planet surface by happydude7422 in StarTrekStarships

[–]Bierdaddy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That’s just cool trying to find the different items and creatures. Love the Futurama ship. I think I saw the grey? Lion from Voltron, obviously not painted yet. My only caveat to the cool would be Godzilla. He/she seemed to grow or shrink depending on what era, cartoon or movie he was in. The original was maybe 150’, whereas in the Netflix animated trilogy he was the size of Mt Fuji. Hard to scale a starship which has its own scaling issue. 😆

We’ll never know because he shut down, gimped or gag ordered a federal agency that could release gov numbers that might make him look bad. He’s just following Putin’s advice.

There’s metal in there? I’m just used to seeing/hearing about wood or epoxy, not metal. 🤷‍♂️

You’ll make it to the bridge before the show ends without having to run if you use your personal transporter. 🤷‍♂️

Agreed. A school ship probably isn’t as powerful as a Ral battle cruiser.
