Welcome to The Vern and Bob Star Trek Show as we take a deep dive into Star Trek: Starfleet Academy.
In this episode, we break down what Starfleet Academy brings to the franchise, from its focus on the next generation of Starfleet cadets to how it fits into the wider Star Trek timeline. We discuss the tone, themes, characters, and world-building, and whether this new chapter captures the spirit of Star Trek while trying something different.
Does Starfleet Academy feel like a natural evolution of Trek, or does it struggle to find its place among the legends of the franchise? We talk about what works, what doesn’t, and what longtime fans and newer viewers might take away from the series.
