Star Trek currently just has this new series and Strange New Worlds, which has wrapped production on its final season. 🤷
I mean, it's YouTube...
Curiouser and curiouser...
And episode 5 is essentially a love letter to Deep Space Nine.
Colour me intrigued, especially since the title is reportedly "Series Acclimation Mil," which probably means it's SAM-centric.
Even with the War College next door...
The War College is its own thing and the conversation was very Trek, which is: Is the War College still relevant now that we’ve moved into this new age where we’re actually able to harness back to the original vision of discovery and exploration and curiosity?
So the much-discussed War College has been confirmed to be...Academy-adjacent, separate from the Academy itself.
Episode three: "Red Pillar"
Big kudos to whoever came up with the episode one title. Very good stuff.
I have a feeling they’ve known 5 seasons was the length for a while
I get the impression that they expected to be done after five, but they expected a full 10-episode run for each. They're on record saying that Paramount tried to cancel them after 4, and they were able to negotiate the abbreviated fifth season.
I personally think it's best if a new series has some sort of "hook" that makes it unique - more of the same can be fine, but it's better to have something that says, "this is why this ship/station/crew is worth following."
Yeah, good call - I think it should be self-evident that links to the online hate machine are not allowed here. We all know the usual suspects, and they're generally not hard to spot.
What's wrong with comedies?
Star Trek has a long history of comedy episodes, and arguably even a film, depending on how you feel about "The Voyage Home".
Comedy and morality certainly aren't mutually exclusive.

I think they've done a decent job of giving each series its own tone and identity.
In any case, SFA and the remaining two SNW seasons are all we're going to be getting any time soon.
