    At face value and current watching experience, I’d say that’s a hard disagree. But then I can’t be arsed watching some rando with a webcam circling around their actual point for several minutes, and would love a one sentence summary beyond that “let’s you and him fight” title.

    From the video description:

    I care about great stories for kids and the new show Star Trek: Starfleet Academy was made by people who don’t understand Star Trek at all or what makes it so interesting to young people. And old nerds like me.

    Personally I’d say that about Strange New Worlds — and speaking as one old nerd to another, I realise I’m fairly alone with that opinion — but unlike this youtuber I’ve had three full seasons of that show to form my opinion, rather than four episodes of SA.

    Oh wait, the video was published on 18 January, she actually judged it only on the first two episodes…

    I remember when DS9 came out. I thought and said, frequently, “This isn’t Star Trek! Trek is supposed to be about people on a starship, going to new places! This crew isn’t going anywhere, what’s the point?”

    It’s a good thing that show runners didn’t listen to “fans” like I used to be. Trek should always be free to try new things.

    (No need to get into the specifics of the video. It’s only 5 minutes, if you want to see factual errors and fat-shaming from some internet rando.)
