À propos de ce contenu audio

Star Trek: Starfleet Academy is finally here — and we’re breaking down Episodes 1 & 2 (“Kids These Days” + “Beta Test”) with full spoilers. The series launches a brand-new Trek era set in the 32nd century (post–Discovery) and follows the new cadets training aboard the USS Athena under Chancellor/Captain Nahla Ake (Holly Hunter) — while Nus Braka (Paul Giamatti) kicks off immediate chaos.

We talk:

  • First impressions (why it works as a jumping-on point)

  • The show’s “Trek DNA” + how it connects across eras

  • The Doctor’s fascinating new emotional distance and what it might mean long-term

  • Standouts: Sam (the photonic cadet), Genesis, Jay-Den, and the USS Athena’s vibe

  • Fun cameos + moments you’ll miss on first watch (including Stephen Colbert as the Academy’s digital dean)

⚠️ SPOILER WARNING: we discuss major plot points from Episodes 1–2.

Next up: Episode 3 (“Vitus Reflux”) predictions!
