Next Generation Fan vs. Starfleet Academy: Resistance Is Futile (and Very Angry)


avatar
Man, Star Trek: Starfleet Academy. The new Paramount+ show that decided to boldly go right into CW-style teen drama land, set 900 years ahead after "The Burn," complete with high-school-level angst, first crushes, and all that. I grew up on The Next Generation. Picard could spend a full episode lecturing admirals on ethics and make it gripping. This thing? It doesn't just miss what Trek is about.

Finally made it to the world of good internet speed. I was on dialup until 2005-11-06. After that I was on AT&T DSL. During that time I was on a 3-6mb download speed and a less than a mb upload. One 2022-01-12 I switched to NT Spark. So many years stuck on slow connection :(
