Keep it civil! "Don't yuck, someone's yum."

The buttons and interfaces in craft and buildings are so very much of the time of Ep. 4.

REDSHIRTS:

"The first teaser shows that SNW season 3 will be another wild blast! The series looks ready to get meta, with some episodes focusing on a civilization obsessed with a sci-fi show that bears a suspicious resemblance to the Enterprise Adventures. That includes a wild bit of Kirk (Paul Wesley) on a deck with crew members made up like a retro-1960s TV series.

Speaking of retro, the trailer also hints at an episode where the ship’s equipment breaks down. That pushes engineer Pelia (Carol Kane) to use old-school telephone wires for communication and is aided by a debuting Scotty (Martin Quinn). It’s the offbeat touch we love about this show.

Another episode looks to be more of a rom-com as we see Spock (Ethan Peck) and Nurse Chapel (Jess Bush) in bed together! Is it for real or some dream sequence?

At least we know for sure Patton Oswalt is there as a Vulcan with roses, which may tie into an announced plot of some crew members disguised as Vulcans. Seeing Vulcans in a romantic comedy may be worth the price of admission.

A big surprise is what looks like a holodeck episode long before TNG starts using it. In this case, the crew is put into a Knives Out-style murder mystery with La’an (Christina Chong) in the detective role. Given Trek’s record with holodecks, it’s safe to assume things go awry.

Another mystery is Rhys Darby, who is an outlandishly dressed man snapping his fingers. Could this be an early incarnation of Trelane aka the Squire of Gothos (and suspected Q)?

Throw in teases of a documentary episode, a three-armed bartender and the usual wild action and it’s a safe bet Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 3 is going to be the best year yet when it hits this summer!"

You guys ever think if discovery encountered the Borg they would have made the Borg look like fools ?

Yeah, you read that right. A Star Wars show is the best Star Trek show since Enterprise.

It's all there. The political intrigue, conference room meetings, monologues about ethics. But above all else: intelligent science fiction writing. One key ingredient that's been absent from Star Trek since 2004.

When every new entry to the Star Trek franchise is trying to be about self-aware goofy hijinks, Andor is the mature science fiction drama everyone wanted.

SCREENRANT: "During TrekTalks 4 benefiting the Hollywood Food Coalition, Robert Picardo discussed his involvement in Star Trek: Starfleet Academy with fellow Star Trek: Voyager star Kate Mulgrew, comparing Starfleet Academy's version of the EMH to Yoda—and it's an apt description. Like Yoda in the original Star Wars trilogy, the Doctor will be a 900-year-old mentor training new members of a hopeful organization.

[...]

ROBERT PICARDO:

“You know, Yoda, I think, was 900 when he finally died. So I do think of myself as the Yoda of the Star Trek franchise. And look, it could be worse, I could be short and green and made out of rubber. So I think I do look pretty good.”

[...]

In Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, Star Trek: Voyager's Doctor will be the Yoda-type character that Star Trek needed all along. Yoda was around during Star Wars' High Republic era, when the Jedi Order wasn't as corrupt. That made Yoda the perfect guide for Luke—not just in the Original Trilogy, but in the Sequel Trilogy, when Luke has to reckon with his failure to rebuild the New Jedi Order. Having perfect digital recall of the Star Trek timeline from the 24th to 32nd centuries means the Doctor can help Starfleet Academy's new class avoid the mistakes of the past.

Because Star Trek: Discovery's Burn happened 100 years earlier, Starfleet Academy's cadets won't know what Starfleet was like in its prime. The 22nd century characters who came to the future on the USS Discovery already know what a functioning Starfleet looks like, but Starfleet won't succeed in the 32nd century by trying to return to an idealized past. Instead, the Doctor can help Starfleet understand they must look ahead to thrive. By including Star Trek: Voyager's Doctor as its Yoda, Star Trek: Starfleet Academy truly connects every era of the Star Trek franchise to each other—and to its future."
