Nick, to save you some time I
endured watched a couple of episodes of the new Star Trek show, Starfleet Academy, so you would
not waste your time on such unrivalled shite have an idea if it was worth giving a go.
In the immortal words if Monty Python, RUN AWAY!!! The show looks spectacular, which given the budget it has per episode isn't surprising, unfortunately the rest of the show comes across as utter shite written by people who don't understand the lore and Alex Kurzman who seems to be sticking up a final finger not it seems certain that he's going to be kicked off the franchise. That said Paul Giamatti is clearly having fun hamming up his role as the antagonist.
The writing tis bloody awful, the academy has gone from the 'only taking the best of the best' philosophy that ahs been established since the original series to cadets who cant tell the difference between food and their combadge.
This dreck makes the Section 31 film look almost watchable. If you feel like giving this a go do yourself a favour and watch something pre JJ Abrams/Alex Kurtzman instead.
