Love the title misdirect concerning season 2 of Academy and the already in post SNW season 4. Frakking bait. Post for effects heavy shows takes the better part of a year these days.
As for new shows, not terribly sold on the "workplace comedy on a resort planet" concept. I do like Tawny Newsome's work thus far, so I'd give it a go. Legacy should have been a slam dunk, but nooo.
The dreck that was Section 31 and DISCO's weak final season really put a damper on the franchise as a whole. Bonus frustration concerning the recent mergers.
If we could just dump Kurtzman, I'd gladly wait out a few years between new shows.
The entire show was easily the weakest ST series ever. The only one I couldn't finish. Really awful. Even Enterprise was better.
Agree. I laughed out loud at the mushroom drive thing and the enormous tardigrade thing, and then it just ... kept getting worse somehow
Yeah, the fungus travel was ridiculous. If that works so well, why don't the later shows use it? And even if they somehow explained that away at some point, would the other shows at least referenced it at some point? Or used it in some emergency?
And the Tardigrade? WTF?
My memory is hazy here, but didn't they explain why they couldn't make more ships use the drive in later seasons? Like they figured out the mycelium network was sentient and using the drive was hurting it. So expanding its use would probably kill it or something?
Beats me, I was out by then. Even if they stopped using, it, the concept still existed. You'd think a later incarnation would have used it, but they didn't, because it never existed. Until Discovery came along and crashed a burning semi-truck through the established canon.
I won't forgive them for killing the new-fan incubator that was Prodigy.
