Welcome back to TreknoPod — this week we’re reviewing Star Trek: Starfleet Academy – Season 1, Episode 3 (“Vitus Reflux”).

We cover the big conversations Episode 3 sparked:

• Is Starfleet Academy missing the “utopian” Star Trek feeling?

• Pranks vs bullying (and why the War College stuff hits differently)

• Which division we’d choose: Command, Engineering, Medical, or Science

• Alien hybrids + evolving species (does it enrich Trek or blur the lines?)

• The “too woke” discourse… and why Trek has always been progressive

• Plus: the barefoot Chancellor, fandom reactions, and the moments we loved

Question for the comments:

Do you say “Vitus Reflux” or “Vitus Reflux”… and did Episode 3 win you over?

🖖 Live long and prosper.
