EAS Today

Yeah for sure, though I don't like the thought of Worf and/or the universal translator getting it wrong for so long, reference work or not. TPTB can't consistently f up the Latin then turn around and insist the Klingonese be "correct" :) It's not a dealbreaker for SFA, it was just a tongue-in-cheek joke.

For what it's worth, the Klingon S being pronounced SH is from the original Klingon Dictionary from 1985

Great reviews, Bernd! For me so far, while the YA angle is just not aimed at me, SFA has much more Trek spirit from the start than any other Discoverse show. I was very annoyed with the "Kahlesshh" and "Qo'noSHH/Kronoshh" though. Worse than the dumbass prank war.

Thanks. I don't take your comment seriously either.

rating Waltz and take me out to the holosuite both as a 1/10 is insane. Two of the best episodes in the series. Can't take any of your reviews seriously now

Sometimes I hate being right, but yep Caleb is turning into quite the little Creator's Pet.
He's a master at debate because of course he is. Why shouldn't he be? He's the main character after all!

Anyway, everything about Jay-den's (ugh, that name) backstory is so overdone it's almost funny in a darkly comic way. I like that he got a lot of character development but damn is he the series' whipping boy or what?

Cadets enter the Academy after graduating high school. The minimum age is 18 (Wesley did enter with 18), which in most countries today marks the end of teenage and the start of adulthood. With a flag officers (admiral) sponsorship it is possible to enter at 16, but its not the usual case.

Following up on my previous post....sigh. This series is a dumpster fire. I just can't sit through another episode of this cringe fest.

Actually. no. In the episodes TNG:The First Duty and DS9:Valiant, the cadets were all teenagers.

Well I'm not the only ones who likes those episodes. Check their imdb ratings, the ones I mentioned are all betwenn 7-8/10. I'll take any TNG s1 episode over Disco and SFA on any day though, even Angel One :P

This is my re-done version of an old, old MSD I did back in 2009 ish. I updated it to my latest quality level.

I had this up before, but missed it when I had to completely re-upload my gallery due to DA allowing all and sundry to download the hi res copies for free!

An efficient layout for tactical operations, the Defiant bridge was significantly smaller than most other ships of the era, and was directly connected to the rest of deck 1 via two egress doors. The captain’s chair sat on a raised platform near the center of the room, giving the CO a commanding view of the entire room, with the helm located directly in front of it. The perimeter stations were, working clockwise from the viewscreen: science, tactical I, tactical II, and engineering. The back of the bridge featured a retractable situation table for mission briefings, above which was the dedication plaque.

For several additional renders, please visit my portfolio.

Additional uniforms from 2373-2378.

I will be doing my own versions of Starfleet uniforms in chronological order all the way up to the early 25th century. This project is not intended to be for a fanfic. Just doing this for fun. This is my take on the First Contact/ Deep Space Nine/Voyager uniforms, but with some changes for my timeline.

I changed the dress uniforms to another design, as I never cared for the white uniforms introduced in Star Trek: Insurrection.

Updated on 8/26/24 to correct minor mistake on cadet uniform.

Whenever I watch #StarfleetAcademy's "Kids These Days" (1x01) and "Vox In Excelso" (1x04) on my TV (but not on my computer!) I get these strange light flashes in the first 10 seconds of the end credits. Does anyone else experience that? I feel like I'm being sent a secret message in Ferengi B'Zal! 😅

Here's a cool shot of the USS Athena with its saucer section separated from the lower part of the ship (and its nacelles, as usual). The section that stays behind contains the Academy dorm rooms and lecture halls. I wonder what that small structure on the outer ring is, kind of looks like a small shuttle.

Apart from some new bottles, first seen in #StarTrekTOS' "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield", the episode also features a Saurian brandy bottle ("The Enemy Within"↙️), a Kluk Kluk bottle with a pink liquid ("Dagger of the Mind"➡️), a coffee set ("is There in Truth..."↘️) and a tall bottle ("Journey to Babel"⬅️).

I love doing #StarTrek research, on old episodes and new episodes. No matter how often I've seen an episode, I always find something new to write about. And sometimes I forget that I already have discovered something and am excited anew. The joys of growing middle-aged with Star Trek! 😊

We get a brief look at a Klingon heavy cargo carrier in some FNN shots in #StarfleetAcademy's "Vox in Excelso", before the ship crashes on Taurus VII. Both the planet and its surface are seen a little later in the same episode.

Jay-Den Kraag mentions Klingon love poetry in #StarfleetAcademy's "Vox in Excelso", but we've heard about Klingon love poetry before: Worf talked about it in two #StarTrekTNG episodes, namely "The Dauphin" (2nd pic) and "Up the Long Ladder" (3rd pic). :-)

#StarFleetAcademy's "Vox in Excelso" features several Klingon ships (advanced light battlecruisers) of the QeHpu’ class, originally created for #StarTrekOnline (3rd pic). The episode thus brings the design into the 32nd century and into the canon realm, it's such a cool starship class! :-)

Here are all of the names, colour-coded by #StarTrek TV show. The first pic shows how the names are arranged on the commemoration wall in #StarfleetAcademy, the second pic lists al the names alphabetically and the third pic lists them by #StarTrek show. Compiling this took more than 4 hours...🖖

#StarTrekLowerDecks features the whole Freeman family plus Tendi, Captain Ramirez and Joshua Albert (listed here and not at #TNG because he is only seen on #LD). From #StarTrekProdigy, we have Rok-Tahk, Gwyndala and Zero plus Doctor (and science adviser in real life) Erin MacDonald. 7/8

From #StarTrekPicard, there's only Cristobal Rios, Liam Shaw and Admiral Whitley. The rest is covered at #TNG or #VOY. The whole cast of #StarTrekSNW is listed (or already covered at the #TOS listing). There are also some #SNW recurring characters but Una is sorely missing. 6/8
