Can you please elaborate a bit more, because I really didn't like discovery and I don't want to be disappointed again.

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 9 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

It’s much more focused on the emotional development and relationships between the characters. Academy feels like a teen drama, which isn’t something I liked even when I was a teenager.

[–] Cypher@aussie.zone 6 points 21 hours ago

I’m going to give it a miss in that case, I’ve never enjoyed that sort of drama either.

[–] PixelatedSaturn@lemmy.world 5 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Thx. I get it. Not for me either.

But I'm not worried. For sure something gritty and political will be made at some point in the future.

There’s still Strange New Worlds, which is one of my absolute favorites. Especially the musical episode.

Academy is basically Harry Potter in Space.

Lol yeah, this comment just confirms that you only watched half of it.

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 1 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

That’s exactly what the showrunners were going for.

[–] acosmichippo@lemmy.world 0 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

which is why Star Trek needs new showrunners.

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 3 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

I think one of the problems a lot of franchises face is that there’s one, singular showrunner.

Why not open it up to multiple people, all able to tell different stories the way they want? Let a million Star Trek flowers bloom, I say.

As long as they keep the spirit of Star Trek, which barely any of the modern shows do.
