I think it's literally just you in this thread who thinks that Prodigy is somehow a horrible TV show. I mean go for it, it's your right, but like 99% of everyone else seems to be like "Man, this show is good and it rules."

Until SNW comes out in May my current divide is animated shows are good trek and live action is bad trek, also considering how much new trek is out there im surprised there isn't more cross overs between the series

Strange New Worlds is like 100 years before Lower Decks, Prodigy is at least 3 years in the future from Lower Decks, Picard is like another 8 years in the future from Prodigy and is considered the "present" of Star Trek according to the powers that be, and then Discovery is 900 years in the future from there. The closest you can do is weaving Legacy Trek elements into and out of each show.

And we have no idea what year Section 31 will be set (since they say it's still happening). I'd bet good money that Starfleet Academy will be set in the Disco era and Tilly will be the lead with occasional Cronenberg appearances.

Just finished my Picard rewatch and, honestly I think I liked it better the second time through. But a few things stand out, all from the final episode: 1) The magic wand. Just all of it. 2) Soong watches the memory of the synth who was murdered* and politely deactivates the synth responsible while Soji is in the process of summing the Cthulhu synths not five metres away from him and apparently not a single synth notices. Then he sits out the rest of the fight doing nothing. He doesn't even show the footage to the other synths, or try to stop Soji. Or use his own little magic wand to deactivate them. 3) Picard's death and everyone mourning him. Big emotions. Tears. Then cut to him being alive. That was emotionally manipulative bullshit and cheap as hell especially with Chekhov's golem having been heavily foreshadowed. 4) Soji was about to end all life in the entire galaxy, but sure, let her join the crew, why not. Put her next to the lady who murdered her old lover, they can bond over their bloodlust for the innocent. 5) Minor one here - the B-team has a nice quiet meal the Zhat Vash guy, decide to help him and wow, we're all friends now. Cut to Seven beating his sister to death - hooray! EDIT: Also, the Zhat Vash guy just disappears completely after the big fight. The last we see of him is when the synths have him pinned to the ground right before the soccer ball bomb comes into play. EDIT 2: Also the Romulan secret society dedicated to stopping synths by any means necessary to protect all life in the galaxy baulks at having to actually fight for it? General Oh decides the cause her people spent literally thousands of years defending - stopping the extinction of all life in the galaxy - isn't worth risking a little war with the Federation over? From everything we saw of the Zhat Vash, she would haven't even hesitated to burn the planet to slag. * also, waaaaayyy to much loving eye violence in the show. Goddamn.

So there's the rumor of the Starfleet Academy series coming up.. If they do it, do you think they're going to set it in the 32nd century and have Mary Wiseman in it? They did end her time on Discovery by having Tilly take a teaching job at the newly refounded Academy, right?

I'd like a disco Future Starfleet Academy just so they might have to nail down some more future-tech and changes in lifestyle or values. Functionally probably wouldn't matter much swapping one cgi and tehcnobabble for another.

The USS Dauntless is such a weird thing. I know "The Dauntless" existed in Voyager as a ruse and not an actual Starfleet ship, but in Star Trek Online they turned it into an actual Federation ship class, and now it's in actual canon as one. I wonder how closely CBS works with Cryptic on stuff like this

I have yet to personally watch it due to not feeling like either paying for the service or pirating it, so I will reserve my judgment until such time as I see fit to take it in. [in a deep, kingly voice] NOW BEGONE, thread! I have much important work to do! *plays star trek songs on piano*

I see a lot of discussion happened about the tragic backstories of starship crewmembers. Although the teased clip for SNW is about one such backstory being told, the important thing to remember is that current Trek's failings aren't necessarily about the content, it's about the delivery of the content. Owoshekun's tragic backstory, if delivered appropriately, would've been a phenomenal character building moment, greeted warmly by an audience who has felt Discovery was severely lacking in growth for anyone on screen. However, it was delivered during an urgent moment, used as a direct explanation for why a choice was made, and never returned to. It was done just to fill time. It's constantly done to fill time. Does this show even air on television anywhere? Time filling is pointless and yet it's happening anyway. This is just the new normal for modern live Trek. So if it's done to fill time for SNW, then yeah, we can worry about the show. Otherwise, eh, let's just wait and see how this thing's built before we start saying it's made of straw. ...unless the clip leaks and Uhura's actress is just horrible.

Hopefully the Dauntless borrows some of the cool stuff from Voyager like the regenerative armor and quantum torps.. And maybe the other antiBorg tech

Isn't the "Star Trek: The academy years" the grand old daddy of the "we didn't have any original ideas for the next movie/series/game so here is this"? I am fairly certain that even Gene mentions making a pitch to make one, on the 1st 50y mission book.

Twist: the new academy series is set in the 2360s and every episode is about putting recruits through a series of horrific and traumatizing psychological tests.

It's extremely kid focused, and does pretty good at that, but there's not much complexity yet, just some obvious morals and kid friendly attitude. It's fine, but tbh it's pretty skippable.
