Comment on Star Trek: Starfleet Academy | Official Trailer | Paramount+ (NYCC 2025)

I think this trailer says more about me than it does Star Trek. It seems Paramount is done making Star Trek for my demographic, which is okay I suppose. Just feeling my age. 😅.

I hope it does well for the new generation. I kind of wish Discovery ended with Discovery. I mean I watched it and there are characters that I liked, but didn’t really enjoy the story. But! I do love Tig Notaro and I’m glad to see her on Academy.

I doubt they’re “done” with any particular demo, but they’ve been pretty up-front about being concerned about an aging/dying fanbase, and wanting to make some stuff for younger people.

But I do think that they’ve been pretty good at giving each series its own time and vibe, so hopefully something down the road will appeal to you if this doesn’t.

  I mean, on the plus side, Klingons look like Klingons again. 😁 (Which I know isn’t exactly true, but Worf said enough on this topic in DS9 (YT clip))

    There are a bunch of the perennial brigading naysayers on other platforms already venting that this young Klingon is too skinny/lanky.
    
    Seems that they never saw Tony Todd as Kurn or considered that TALL is an important Klingon physical characteristic.

    You know, I was needing something to watch as I’m doing some mundane tasks at the moment. I think I’ll watch the first episode in TNG with Kurn now. 😁

@GlassHalfHopeful @ValueSubtracted Exactly my view as well. I still like SNW, though, even though the last season was thin gruel in terms of writing.

  It has been hard for me to admit it, but I feel the same way about SNW. For the first time in Trek history, my partner has been watching Star Trek SNW with me and is enjoying it. Which… is kind of the problem. 😬 I been getting… bored. 😞
  
  Strange New World resonates for my partner in ways that are the very reasons I’m not particularly fond of the series, but this is good for them and good for other people entering the world of Trek and enjoying it.
  
  I’ll continue to enjoy reruns of TNG and DS9 forever. And who knows, maybe I’ll get lucky with a series that I can really connect with in the future.
