Star Trek Academy

New Star Trek series coming soon, first peak trailer here:



Plus a little breakdown as there's a lot of Easter eggs already:

Looks great to me, I think I prefer the far future setting as a contrast to the SNW stuff.

I don't know why but that girl from Trek Culture I find unwatchable and unlistenable.

As far as Academy goes, will certainly give it a go. Hard to tell from a trailer how it will be, really. But clearly it has plenty of Disco-era fancy SFX.

I find the videos from Trek Culture pretty good on the whole regardless, easy to stick on.

Colin Weldon is pretty good on YouTube, although his videos are all conversation so a bit less flashy. Might be more up your street?

I might give him a go then. I've watched TC quite a bit - back to when Adam Cleary was doing it. Just that girl's delivery and manner irritates. I'm old, not her fault I'm sure! Ta for the rec.

I'm not convinced at this point - there were a couple of nice bits in the trailer but

- I did get the "...you're great...", "...be strong...", "...it's ok to cry...", "...OMG, like did you hear/SOOOO (followed by mid-teen gossip crap)..." vibe.
- it looks too glossy (virtually like someone's had fun overapplying an HDR filter to their photos)

I get that the bigwigs want to get younger people into ST - but that shouldn't be at the expense of everyone else
