“Why are they wearing TOS uniforms?”
They’re…clearly not? No rank on the sleeves, the glint off the delta means it’s a badge.
Why is it not possible that these Starfleet uniforms took inspiration from the 23rd century?
And why is everyone’s media literacy SO BAD???

Kerrice Brooks is so good in that episode

“Come, Let’s Away” but stay for the absolutely crackling scenes between two of #StarTrek’s most talented performers - Holly Hunter and Paul Giamatti. The pilot’s “origami chicken” scene is a C+ compared to the A++ of dialogue and performances in this episode. MORE PLEASE. #StarTrekStarfleetAcademy

Kerrice Brooks makes the most interesting and compelling acting choices as Sam in “Series Acclimation Mil” that makes this episode so rewatchable. I’ve seen it four times already and every time I’m catching some new line reading, look, or gesture that enthralls me. #StarTrekStarfleetAcademy

31.01.2026 02:05 — 👍 6 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0It’s from a different “end of history” era where it just felt like the world was going to continue improving and more people would drink the democracy koolaid. Just be good people and good things will happen. It’d be nice if there’s actual world went back to this.
31.01.2026 02:02 — 👍 7 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Of course there are plenty of bad actors in the show who do share a more Trumpian worldview of might makes right, that’s where the drama comes from. But from the president on down, most of the characters in this show seek to do the right thing rather than the strong thing. It’s a very 90s worldview.

I’ve been doing a #Stargate SG-1 rewatch (currently in season 5) and going back to this show after Trump, Venezuela, Greenland, tariffs etc it’s comforting and a little jarring to watch the US military exploring the galaxy and being fundamentally good and ethical.

“Vox in Excelso” is a real gem and the first #StarTrekStarfleetAcademy episode where I said to myself: I think I might love this show? This is, in my opinion, the best Klingon episode since DS9 and the high stakes drama totally works in the context of a grounded character episode. A+ world building.

How you feel about Captain Ake’s posture makes a strong statement about how socially well adjusted you are. Those who live in the real world with actual people know it doesn’t fucking matter how you sit in a chair; it matters how you lead, how you teach, and how you lift people up. #StarfleetAcademy

You know the problem with modern #StarTrek? Old Star Trek would NEVER have thought to show one of its characters show a serious character flaw because of something as silly as a sports game and use that to show growth and have to learn to be a better person. SMH.

I remember when certain people lost their minds over this Enterprise promo because it used a modern song and had a sexy butterfly lady. Enterprise may or may not be your fav, but the idea that it’s “not real Star Trek” is LAUGHABLE. Same with SFA! #StarTrek #StarfleetAcademy youtu.be/5yxGAtiG224?...

Make sure to read @eatatquarks.bsky.social EXCELLENT no spoiler review of #StarTrekStarfleetAcademy first, but after you do if you’re still looking for more SFA reaction content, I’ve got some thoughts on WeeklyTrek.
