Star Trek’s Returning Star Hits Back at Criticism of Divisive Spinoff Series – Comic Book Resources (CBR)
By Sam Fang, Published 2 days ago
Sam Fang primarily covers news for CBR, with over a decade of experience writing about entertainment and pop culture and degrees in both journalism and art.
One of Star Trek‘s veteran actors who returned for its divisive new spinoff, Starfleet Academy, is speaking out against criticisms of the show. Robert Picardo recently talked with fans on social media about the show’s backlash.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Picardo shared a newspaper image published from the time his previous Star Trek project, Voyager, went to air. “It is interesting to note that @StarTrek #Voyager, so beloved in retrospect, was thought “woke” (“politically correct” was the term way back then) at its premiere,” Picardo wrote. The post generated plenty of dialogue with Star Trek fans regarding Starfleet Academy, which has been incredibly divisive among fans, and Picardo took the time to further share his thoughts with the naysayers.

— Robert Picardo (@RobertPicardo) January 18, 2026One person replied to the post, claiming to have an “insider at CBS”, claiming that “Alex Kurtzman, behind the scenes, is intentionally turning it into a political lecture”, which Picardo responded to. “I know Alex Kurtzman. I work with him. I know what you were saying is not true about his motives. But my point remains: if you have a better vision, bring it to the table. You are a writer with a lot of experience and science fiction. Turn your back on what you don’t like and create something with your vision.”
Picardo also took the time to share one of his own experiences of being offended by entertainment earlier in life, responding to a fan who also criticized Kurtzman’s era of Star Trek. “I remember refusing to see THE GODFATHER,” Picardo wrote. “Being 100% Italian American, I thought it promoted negative stereotypes. I prejudged it and refused to watch it for years. Now it is my favorite movie.”
He went on to share how disheartening it was to read people tearing the show down rather than just not watching the new Star Trek installment if it wasn’t to their liking. “Here it is, simply. I miss the days when, if you didn’t like a TV show, you simply didn’t watch it. What I find sad about this present moment, is that people who don’t like a television show make it their mission to keep others from watching it, to attack it round the clock, to destroy it,” he shared.
“This isn’t a football game. This isn’t a zero sum battle to the death. This is freedom of choice in entertainment. Aren’t there more positive ways to spend your energy than simply trying to destroy someone else’s creative effort?” Picardo continued, “If you are certain you can do better, write a pitch and take it to CBS-Paramount. You have writing talent and credentials. Invest all of the time spent in trying to tear something down into trying to build something new. I promise you I’ll watch it.”

Torsdag er Star Trek-dag igen
15 januar søsatte Paramount+ den seneste Star Trek-satsning, Starfleet academy med to timelange afsnit. Som Armin Shimerman sagde i TNG-afsnittet “Haven”, i en meget lille rolle som Deanna Trois medgift-kiste: “Rejoice! Mwah-ha-ha-hah!”
Okay, jeg bliver måske lidt vel eksalteret ved udsigten til andet og mere opløftende Star Trek end Strange new worlds‘ snærende nostalgitrip… Men efter at have set de første afsnit af Starfleet Academy er jeg forsigtigt optimistisk for resten af serien, der allerede er i gang med at afrunde indspilninger til anden sæson.
I Starfleet academy er handlingen lagt i samme tidsramme som Discoverys senere sæsoner: små 800 år efter Picard og Janeway suste omkring galaksearmene har en århundrede lang, total kollaps i overlysrejser reduceret den planetære Føderation til en håndfuld spredte medlemmer. Den tekniske hurdle løste Burnham og besætning i Disco sæson 3, men selvom de interstellare motorveje er åbne igen, må diplomatiske forbindelser og fodslaw genetableres.
Og med dem også Føderationens institutioner, heriblandt Stjerneflådens akademi, som er ramme for denne nye serie. Vi følger med andre ord både elever og stab gennem den første, nye årgang på den genetablerede skole. Det virkede som et sats at mikse Star Trek med collegedrama, men når akademiet her er et rumskib klar til at blive skudt ud på missioner, er forskellen måske ikke så stor igen. Også på Kirks Enterprise fløj hormonerne ret tæt nu og da.
Det første afsnit er frontlæsset med fælles baghistorie for mindst tre af seriens fortsatte figurer, før det anslag med koben og skohorn klemmes ind i den egentlige præmis. Men som en albatros letter afsnittet efter sit snublende tilløb. Vel ombord på det flyvende campus møder vi flere figurer og begreber end man rimeligt kan forventes at holde styr på — men fuglen flyver, der er ikke tid til at stoppe for spørgsmål. Vi får forhåbentlig lejlighed til at lære alle disse entusiastiske unger nærmere at kende før første sæson er ovre… og lur mig om ikke der bliver anledning til at gense pilotafsnittet senere.
Andet afsnit kobler fint den gradvise genopbygning af Føderationen ind i en meget Star Treksk meet-cute mellem vores rebel™ og en passende sødmefuld betazoid. Hvis du spiller Star Trek-drikkespillet, er det nu man råber “Imzadi!” og bunder sit glas (det må være tilstrækkeligt med et henrykt “squee!” over at igen se pukkelhvaler i San Franciscos farvande). Men det er også den unge hovedrollebesætnings fortjeneste, at i al fald jeg faktisk sluger historien — uden at behøve at skylle efter. Og vi er på alle måder langt ovre den tid, hvor TNG-forfatterne havde vanvittigt svært ved at skrive overbevisende teenagere!
Overordnet set er jeg allerede solgt på en Star Trek-serie der har kapret Holly Hunter og Paul Giamatti i ledende roller som hhv kaptajn/rektor og frydefuldt overspillet skurk. At man også har bragt Robert Picardo tilbage i hans ’90er-rolle som Voyagers doktor er en fin bonus. Man kan gå gennem afsnittene med tættekam for at finde dybere referencer hid og did i kontinuiteten, men bare den indsats der er gjort for at have ferengi, jem’hadar, kelpien og cheron i statist- såvel som større roller er en kànonbuffet for trekkies.
I tillæg er både sæt og cinematografi så storslået lækkert, at man nærmest svømmer i verdenskonstruktionen. USS Athenas atrium, der åbner sig flere etager op gennem skibet som et knudepunkt for campus, er svimlende. Modsat er skoleskibets korridorer stemningsfuldt belyst med lange lysbaner der suger en ind i billedet. Det er et af mange (for mig velkomne) træk, der viderefører Discoverys visuelle, men også tematiske arv ind i denne nye serie.
Om vi på længere sigt køber de yngre, uprøvede skuespilleres kemi… det vil tiden vise. Men jeg er optimistisk.

Tonight! Tonight! Tonight!
🐺 Star Trek Voyager's Robert Picardo appears in his first film, The Howling, and is required to get make-up applied for a full day. But there is no time to film after that, so he has to leave the make-up on all night!
🗣️ On the Special Edition DVD, he said, "...Trained at Yale, two leading roles on Broadway. My first acting role in California, my face gets melted in a low-budget horror movie."
Don't let Picardo have suffered for nothing!
👉 Join us for the watch party at 9 ET.

If I were rich, I'd be tempted to buy #cybertrucks, just to crush them down into cubes, like #RobertPicardo did with Hitler paintings in #Justified.

I watched Gremlins 2 today !!!!
Such an enjoyable movie with lots of stars and stupid jokes.
And I never realised that the guy who plays the building manager is #RobertPicardo who played the EMH in #Voyager!
He's pretty great. He has a comic style of acting.

Wonderful, wonderful, sweet, slow and thoughtful interview with Robert Picardo (Emergency Medical Hologram on "Star Trek: Voyager" 30 years ago) on entering the Star Trek family and lifelong commitment, living the Star Trek life, and on being the bridge between the past and future of the franchise in the upcoming "Star Trek: Starfleet Academy", which may come out early 2026.

Huzzah for TVO (TV Ontario, the province’s public broadcaster) for bringing us a great interview with Robert Picardo where he lets us know more about his return as The Doctor in Starfleet Academy!
While other franchise media are picking up and citing the interview. I can recommend it’s worth hearing in its entirety.

Un giorno non lontano i pazienti entreranno in una clinica e troveranno un medico... fatto di luce. È l'ultima frontiera della telemedicina che permette agli specialisti di "teletrasportarsi" come ologrammi 3D a grandezza naturale, portando consulenze e cure avanzate anche nelle zone più remote. Un mix di fantascienza e realtà che può migliorare l'assistenza sanitaria.

Really enjoying #TheRookie Season 6
But I am *Extremely* excited for #RobertPicardo to be on #startrekstarfleetacademy

Now that I think about it, the doctor would be a better fit for that and #RobertPicardo would play that to greater comedic value.

I just wondered how #RobertPicardo would be received as #DrWho...

der "Cowboy" aus 'Die Reise ins Ich' ist niemand geringeres als das medizinisch-holographische Notfallprogramm der Voyager!!

I wouldn't normally recommend Hallmark movies, but "A Biltmore Christmas" weirdly has these two in it:
