Ok, I’ll bite. From the trailer, it just looks like another season of Discovery. Same look and feel, same era, many of the same cast members. And since I didn’t care for Discovery, I doubt I will care for this either.

Exactly!

The post apocalyptic Discovery future is just something I couldn’t care less about. It’s not interesting, and this show looks like a direct sequel to it.

They didn’t even change it to an actual Academy, instead also putting it on a spaceship to just keep doing the same kind of thing, but with more excuses for the “younger and edgier” crew. So many alarmbells ringing.

It doesn’t help that I grew up with the Starfleet Academy videogame, and thus that period is forever linked to it.
