LoglineWhile our cadets compete to join an elite team at the Academy, a battle of escalating pranks breaks out between Starfleet Academy and a rival school. Tensions rise fast, threatening their newly-emerging bonds and a blossoming romance.
Based on my rudimentary Latin, the title can be loosely translated as “Back/Return to Life”, I think. In the episode, it’s a fungus, although it’s unclear if that is its scientific or colloquial name. There is no “vitus” genus as far as I can tell, although grapes belong to the vitis family.
Why are the Betazoids described as an empathic species in SFA? Troi was an empath, but that’s because she’s half human. Lwxana and the Betazoid “delegates” in LDS are all telepathic. They all regularly use telepathy to speak to each other and to humans they’re close with. Why are the Betazoids in Academy signing to each other to communicate subtly instead of thinking?
After watching the trailers for Academy I generally liked what I saw, but Holly Hunter felt oddly reminiscent of Geneviève Bujold as Janeway. I even made a comment somewhere on here that was like “I need to be sold more on Holly Hunter”.
There is a new Star Trek 60th anniversary opening, which starts with the TOS Enterprise going into warp and then transforming into each subsequent series’ hero ships, from the refit to Enterprise*-D, *Defiant*, *Voyage*, NX-01, *Discovery*, the SNW *Enterprise and finally the USS Athena. The font used in the series captions is the one first seen in TMP.
‘Kids These Days’ and ‘Beta Test’ reflect the push and pull between ‘Starfleet Academy’ and its twin desires of feeling like ‘Star Trek’ while also trying something new.
Paramount+ doesn’t have the “Spanish (Latin American” dub beyond season 2, and I’ve long been wondering if it even exists for later seasons. It would be a travesty if it didn’t, as most voices were at least tolerable, and Boimler straight up sounded like Jack Quaid speaking Spanish.
Star Trek Strange New Worlds is my favorite Star Trek series ever. I love all the risks they take and the cast is excellent. I can’t believe it’s being cut short. Give me 7, 8, 9 seasons.
“The conversations that I have had is, ‘Hey, we finished writing it,’ and everyone said, ‘Yep, we love it.’ And then we turned it in, and then it was Christmas…. The business is in an interesting place right now… Who knows?”
Although Paramount+ now streams all the live action Star Trek shows in Canada, BellMedia’s CTV Sci-fi Channel has continued to provide linear cable programming for many of the Star Trek shows, including Strange New Worlds.
TrekMovie has a brief writeup on the feature in the latest issue of SFX but I thought I’d check it out for myself (support your local library!) to see what else might be in there.
I am hoping for STLV their convention pin has “A Piece of the Action” artwork. Each year for the convention they release a commemorative pin that honors the gambling roots of Las Vegas with artwork inspired by scenes that feature card games.
I just started learning a few days ago but I can pronounce it well enough to throw a few phrases around. A full Klingon squad could be pretty entertaining.
Three actors announced for the Rose Parade. For the non-U.S. fans, Rose Parade is a parade held in Pasadena, CA on New Year’s Day which is associated the college football event Rose Bowl (Rose Bowl is in Pasadena), a highly coveted game for teams to play if they get selected.
This tour is for those who don’t want the five day experience or won’t be attending STLV. This takes you to the site of Kirk’s death in Generations which is located an hour from Las Vegas.
Felt like venting. As an Asian, I have an affinity towards the Asians who have been on Star Trek. Watching “Future Imperfect” today and I was immediately moved to tears by the image of Patti Yasutake. I still have a deep sadness for her passing.
The story on the tapes jumps ahead to five years after McGivers’ death, around 2273. The exile started in late 2267, 4 months pass bringing us into 2268, McGivers becomes pregnant, dies, Kali is born late 2268, five years later brings us to 2273.
The exciting news here is that Linda Park has been confirmed with 2026 being the 25th anniversary. Scott Bakula said at the convention back in August he would return but has not officially been confirmed yet. No word if Jolene Blalock will make a appearance.
