I take “fans” being mad at Starfleet Academy as validation of the show not trying to appeal to the masses 🥳🎉

Modern Trek has typically played it safe by following the JJ Abrams action/adventure template. It’s usually *fine* but can lack the soul and intelligence of the best Star Trek shows.

Most Star Trek since TOS made fans angry when it first aired including TNG, DS9, and VOY— Starfleet Academy is in good company.

After S1E4 I’m hopeful Academy keeps surprising me!

I’m not sure I’ve seen this as much white hot rage for a TV show as we’re seeing now on YouTube for #StarfleetAcademy. So-called #StarTrek fans are evidently incensed because it’s non-stop outrage over there. It’s pretty obvious they were never Trek fans to begin with but it’s still depressing as hell.

During the first mock dinner scene in #StarfleetAcademy's "Series Acclimation Mil"⬆️, the aria "Habanera" from Georges Bizet's Carmen is heard in the background. This is (finally) the first time music composed by Bizet is heard on #StarTrek. Riker ("Star Trek: First Contact"⬇️) is vindicated! 😉

Por fin es viernes. Esta noche toca ver los dos primeros episodios de Starfleet Academy a ver qué tal. Buen plan para arrancar el finde con ganas. 🚀✨ #startrek #starfleet #scifi #seriestv

Right this moment, there are kids (and probably some adults too) out there for which #StarfleetAcademy is their very first #StarTrek ... that idea warms my heart and gives me hope for the future.

I found #StarTrek Discovery fun to watch, but it didn't really blow me away. So I had the same mid-level expectations for Starfleet Academy, that I'd be happy to watch it, but it would be particularly memorable.

But now that we're halfway through the first season, I'm ready to say that I was wrong. I love it. Like, really, really love it.

And I'm not just saying that because the most recent episode was basically written for fans of my generation. So far the whole thing has actually been really great.
