Assuming stardates happen sequetionally

I don’t know much about military training, but I do know that grouping students into “squadrons” is done today - I don’t know that the grouping is based on anything, but it makes a certain kind of sense that Starfleet would embrace a kind of “meritocracy” approach to it, even if it also comes off as elitist.

Perhaps Nova Squadron is a long-held academy tradition, and despite the initial fallout of the 2368 incident, that’s overshadowed by its long history of outstanding cadets, a legacy the academy didn’t want to suddenly erase.

I think this is likely. Scandals come and go, but they often don’t overpower institutional inertia.

Couldn’t agree less - I think the 32nd century is a fantastic setting, especially for a show like this.

Ni’Var in Discovery does seem to be on that path, particularly with the Romulo-Vulcan faction.

Yeah, it’s definitely possible that Picardo could play both versions of the character, even if it’s just for a single episode.

But the full-time version on “Academy” will be the original, not the “Living Witness” backup.

Oh, are names important? What were the names of the Klingons?

Well, the Cerritos is also transformed into a *Galaxy-*class ship by that anomaly, so by your logic, there’s an equal chance that TNG took place in a different universe.

Which is…definitely a thing you could say.

where the Klingons started turning in to discovery type Klingons suggesting that discovery was not set in the main trek universe.

I’m not sure you’ve given this line of thought full consideration.

“Seasonal?”

Amateur.

Yeah you really nailed it. Just like he was on “Prodigy.”

Looks good. How much does their stuff usually cost?

You watched the video awfully fast - what did you think of his comments in context?

I have no beef with Paul Wesley - young Kirk was described as “a stack of books with legs” back in TOS, and I think that comes through in the performance.

But Sam Kirk is an absolute delight.

If the first season wasn’t your cup of tea, you might try skipping to season two - I personally think it’s the weakest of the five, but it does introduce Mount, Peck, and Romijn as Pike, Spock, and Una.

And then there’s the major shift at the end, which sets the stage for some seasons that I really enjoyed.

There was a leak a few days ago suggesting July 31, which has since been retracted by the source (SkyShowtime in Europe).

Interesting, thanks for catching that.

It does seem like a strange “error”…

Hiya Toys is pushing their Kelvin line pretty hard, though they also have the license for some SNW stuff - there’s an Anson Mount Pike figure available.

Historically, SkyShowtime has made episodes available on a one-day delay, so July 31 is likely the date for Paramount+.

The video’s pretty light on details on the model, aside from what it’s made of, but Memory Alpha has some info on it.
