Star Trek Social Club

Announcement text:

Star Trek has a brand-new show, Starfleet Academy, premiering today, and we are thrilled to announce that one of the leads, Bella Shepard, will be joining us at our 60th anniversary celebration in Las Vegas this August for #STLV!

Bella plays Cadet Genesis Lythe in Starfleet Academy, and she has the monumental and exciting task of introducing us to a new alien species in the Star Trek universe, the Dar Sha.

Bella will be joining us at ST:LV on Saturday and Sunday, appearing on stage, selling autographs directly to fans in the vendors room, and taking photo ops.

Whether you’ve followed Star Trek since The Original Series or you’re just beginning your journey with Starfleet Academy, this is a can’t-miss chance to celebrate the past, present, and future of Star Trek — all in one place.

'Kids These Days' and 'Beta Test' reflect the push and pull between 'Starfleet Academy' and its twin desires of feeling like 'Star Trek' while also trying something new.

Starfleet Academy has launched out of spacedock—well, come to landing in San Francisco, really—with a two-episode premiere that speaks to two very different sensibilities the show has. The first is more classically Star Trek, even as it does a lot of legwork to introduce us to the kids, teachers, and villains we’ll be spending time with this season, and the second leans more into the kind of young adult vibe the show finds freshness in, albeit with some occasionally jarring results. But while there’s stronger to come in Starfleet Academy‘s debut season, these are two episodes that give us a good picture of what the show can play with in the Star Trek universe.

The project is still cool, but it's a custom Android launcher with an LCARS theme with the actions being handled by Tasker.

What I really want, and if anyone has any links to resources please share, is an LCARS interface for HomeAssistant. Technically HA could be plumbed into this project, but I'd prefer a web UI to a custom launcher so I could use it in multiple rooms without having to custom-configure specific tablets.

Star Trek Strange New Worlds is my favorite Star Trek series ever. I love all the risks they take and the cast is excellent. I can’t believe it’s being cut short. Give me 7, 8, 9 seasons.

Paramount+ doesn't have the "Spanish (Latin American" dub beyond season 2, and I've long been wondering if it even exists for later seasons. It would be a travesty if it didn't, as most voices were at least tolerable, and Boimler straight up sounded like Jack Quaid speaking Spanish.

I've heard that there are two Spanish dubs out there for it: the Latin American one on P+ that's pretty good, and a horrible Castillian dialect one. It would be a shame if the Blu-Ray used the latter, or even worse, the product claims to have a Spanish dub but only has it for two seasons.

Anyone who's already bought it, I would be immensely thankful if you could check that:

• Spanish dub even exists beyond season 2.
• Maybe post something like an audio clip with a scene including Boimler from each season so I can see if it's the same dub.

Thank you for your time. Have a good one.

Related to a recent thread about love for SNW.

I'm worried that the suits at Paramount are under the misconception that the love for SNW is somehow inextricably tied to TOS.

i really think that's not the case, and has more to do with the fantastic cast, writers, and return to Trek's roots.

i'm really sad to see it ending. there's been talks of following it up with a new TOS reboot, but that's actually NOT what i want. i already have TOS.

what i REALLY want is a Capt. Una spin-off show.

how do people feel about that? has there been any official mention of the concept? are they even aware of that as a possibility that fans might want?

thoughts?

I miss something?

It looks like the review embargo has been lifted, so as usual, feel free to share any reviews you come across in the comments.

“The conversations that I have had is, ‘Hey, we finished writing it,’ and everyone said, ‘Yep, we love it.’ And then we turned it in, and then it was Christmas…. The business is in an interesting place right now… Who knows?”

Although Paramount+ now streams all the live action Star Trek shows in Canada, BellMedia’s CTV Sci-fi Channel has continued to provide linear cable programming for many of the Star Trek shows, including Strange New Worlds.

It wasn’t clear whether Starfleet Academy would also be available on CTV in first run. It’s now appearing in the television listings with a double episode premiere starting at 9:00 pm Eastern Time.
