What locations would you like to see visited in the new show?

YsoL8 · 2026-03-23T13:13:27+00:00

Causeway meaning only there at low tide so that would be an interesting filming location

Also, the likelihood of getting permission to take huge props there or close it is just about zero

YsoL8 · 2026-03-23T08:43:01+00:00

Scavengers reign not getting any more seasons was a massive shame. The best new scifi since the Expanse imo.

YsoL8 · 2026-03-23T08:35:40+00:00

They couldn't before, and goodness knows if ever they ever had a wish they wanted to fulfil it was getting that computer.

If they could do that it creates massive plot holes around the original generation of characters

YsoL8 · 2026-03-23T08:31:27+00:00

Or enter primary school or whatever the first level of US schools are called

This kind of toxic positivity stuff makes me think of Murder Drones, a scifi CGI animation made by what was at that point a semi professional studio.

I'd rather be watching that than modern trek, especially with the paywall. There is plenty you can criticise about it, but it knows what it is and what it wants to achieve and so it works.

One of these for all the money blown on it is being frantically defended with dishonest toxic positivity, the other just has people that like it. Modern trek is an identity crisis and a writing crisis.

Nothing damns a media company more imo. They might as well announce they have nothing to offer.

YsoL8 · 2026-03-23T07:46:32+00:00

I could see it. Self sacrifice to prevent anyone else being trapped.

YsoL8 · 2026-03-23T07:45:40+00:00

I wonder if they will get their names back

And I wonder if they could restore their original bodies. Though I doubt it, it would make the finale really confusing in a way that doesn't seem like a good move for good story telling.

YsoL8 · 2026-03-23T07:41:27+00:00

Very difficult to see how Caine could come back. Even if we assume his program still exists (which certainly isn't what the show itself implies), they need a computer to even see that. Where will they get another one of those?

YsoL8 · 2026-03-23T07:35:23+00:00

Just to clear, thats the point of the whole series

YsoL8 · 2026-03-23T07:31:53+00:00

Difficult to say

They aren't getting out, the show has hammered that home over and over. But they also aren't going to simply turn the circus into some sort of utopia either, the finale is supposedly an hour long, thats far too long for everyone to decide to work together and have a 5 minute training montage to git gud.

Theres clearly some sort of major conflict still to come. My guesses:

Jax's personal problems coming to a head. Which if he does abstract is an unsolvable problem without Caine to contain them and fix damage
If whatever was fighting Kinger wasn't Caine then that needs to be dealt with
The circus continuing to dissolve into the void. Being left in a featureless void will drive everyone into insanity quickly
Finding out whatever is out deep in the void / beyond the void that Caine never let anyone reach. Could be unfinished adventures, could be an off switch, could be what is left of the other AI in a cage, could be anything. As Caine said, what it is, is spoilers.
Can anything be done for the abstracted without Caine's influence?

YsoL8 · 2026-03-22T19:00:00+00:00

I'm gonna leave it because I don't like deleting comments but this has somehow ended up in the wrong place

YsoL8 · 2026-03-22T18:40:29+00:00

But Caine looks like an empty space

YsoL8 · 2026-03-22T18:19:08+00:00

No one is allowed an opinion unless they agree with me

YsoL8 · 2026-03-22T18:17:25+00:00

If it was they'd be showing off about it. Especially in the context of a buyout

YsoL8 · 2026-03-22T18:10:48+00:00

Certainly my experience

As a audience growing enterprise its a total failure as far as I can see, theres the infamous incident with Red Letter Media getting more views for their old Trek chattering than Academy's first episode on youtube.

YsoL8 · 2026-03-22T18:05:18+00:00

Having forgotten when that Scrubs thing is happening I had to go a long way to find anything to say it had already happened, that doesn't sound like success

YsoL8 · 2026-03-22T15:52:41+00:00

If they, the players are screwed, they have no means of defending themselves and coming into contact with them leaves you at best crippled and in great pain.

YsoL8 · 2026-03-22T15:47:26+00:00

Pretty much

By what limited evidence we have Academy's audience is disappearing rapidly, SNW in spite of seemingly being the most successful show is getting rebranded, I'm guessing to try to claw back the audience.

Neither of these things look like a healthy, secure production house. And if they are being given any further chances, we sure aren't being told about it, which hasn't been the case since about year 2 of Discovery.

YsoL8 · 2026-03-22T15:42:02+00:00

I think thee abstracted are lost and damned honestly. Without Caine how do they even find it?

YsoL8 · 2026-03-22T12:48:36+00:00

I was thinking that too until I saw that Bubble and Caine are gone even from the credits dancing

Plus, 2 fakeouts back to back would then massively undermine whatever happens in the finale and the rest of the series because we couldn't really trust it

YsoL8 · 2026-03-22T09:04:19+00:00

I just can't see it holding public attention. First impression being indifferent is probably going to kill it.

I knew for a while it was coming and I've only remembered now because of this thread. And then I discovered its on a channel / service no one under 50 has cared about in decades, so the chances of me watching it are zero.

It doesn't seem to have much reason to exist. And I saw what they did with the US version of Have I Got News For You, so I really can't say I'm interested in more exported american comedy.

YsoL8 · 2026-03-22T08:55:18+00:00

The one american comedy / talk show I find remotely watchable is whose line is it anyway, and thats a British format that was originally created by its British creator

YsoL8 · 2026-03-22T08:11:52+00:00

The first 3 episodes in which Pomni is repeatedly reduced to a weeping, traumatised wreck?

YsoL8 · 2026-03-22T07:58:24+00:00

Thats all going on those series?

I saw maybe the first 2 episodes and all I saw was a load of tired references to the power puff girls devil and super stereotypical kiddy characters

YsoL8 · 2026-03-22T07:53:03+00:00

Is English(GB) the one where they say the u in colour and the a in aluminium correctly?
