@avradi Die erste Staffel von #StrangeNewWorlds fand ich ziemlich gut¹ - kein Vergleich zum grauenvollen #StarTrekDiscovery.
Dieses neue #StarTrekAcademy-Dings musste ich auch nach 15 min abbrechen …
(Possibly) Unpopular opinion: #StarTrekLowerDecks ist die beste aktuelle Serie aus dem Franchise.¹zweite kann man anschauen, ist m.E. aber deutlich schwächer.

@hannorein @dfx Ich fasse es nicht wie sich #TrekCulture diesen Schrott immer noch schönreden kann. Die stecken so tief drin das es keinen schlechten Treck geben darf, weil sie dann keine Fans mehr sein können und nichts mehr haben wofür es sich zu leben lohnt, das die Realität ignoriert wird.
Eine verblendete positive Kritik:

#StarTrekAcademy's "Kids These Days" features some banners for the Parrises squares try-outs. I love that we get a better look at what the game looks like and that it matches what is established in #StarTrekProdigy's "Is There in Beauty No Truth?" (3rd pic).

CW: Star Trek: Starfleet Academy spoilers
So, I watched the 3 first episodes of #StarTrek #StarfleetAcademy. I wasn't thinking I would like this show a lot, as I'm not at all fan of highschool dramas, but I was kind of positively surprised. The “jock” aesthetic is boring (almost all men have biceps as large as thighs…) but it's a part of the genre, so I can't say anything. And despite that, I find the characters interesting, especially the chancellor. I love her attitude, even if it may be a little over the top (but again, I imagine is a part of the genre…). The questions asked are good ones, and their answers are very “starfleety”. All in all, it's not bad Star Trek.
The only serious criticism I have is that they're trying to do two contradictory things at once, and they're doing it rather poorly. Either it's a grave show about childhood trauma, the search for a mother, the forgiveness one can (or can't) grant to an institution that meant well but made an horrible mistake that destroyed a childhood, or it's a lighthearted show about young people who misbehave and are punished for it. The transition between Caleb's absolutely terrible childhood and the push-up gag with a pack on his back is jarring. You don't feel like laughing at him at that point.
I don't say it's not possible, but it should be done with more finesse than that. A lot more.

happy to see that the Betazed sign language on #StarTrekAcademy is basically standard ASL, with a few stylistic choices in the sign to look more… poetic? anyway, I wish that they'd kept the sign language more in view of the camera.
another thing I wonder is did they cast and hire an actually Deaf/hard of hearing actor for the Betazed president? because if not, I don't like the affected Deaf accent when at the end of the episode he takes off the little interpreter doohickey and voices for himself to say yes.
I mean I really don't like that particular kind of plot device in the first place because it devalues signed languages and places excessive value on voicing, and that people will voice when it becomes important. it leads people to expect voicing from people who sign when it becomes important enough, which is a harmful expectation for #Deaf people to face and a great example of #EverydayAbleism that #Disabled people face on the daily.

Personally, I'm looking forward to finding out what Klingon bedside manner looks like.

One of the biggest questions in this past week's Picard episode is how much of what we saw is the gambit devised by Picard.
The force fields in the corridor were. Was the allegedly derelict Vulcan ship part of the gambit? Jean-Luc and Beverly preparing to shoot Vadic? Letting Vadic THINK she has taken control of the Titan?
We talk about these things in this week's podcast.
