I’ve read that episodes 1 and 2 of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy were available to watch for free on YouTube, but I could only find episode 1, Kids These Days. So be it. I watched the thing.
But why?
I mean, everything I’ve heard, well almost everything, about the show says it stinks. It’s awful. It’s horrible. It makes no sense.
I’d watched at least some of the Starfleet Academy Red Carpet video hosted by Celia Rose Gooding who played Uhura in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. Between her and the junior (by age) cast members of SFA, it was like watching a bunch of undisciplined, uneducated, and spoiled teenagers with rich Mommies and Daddies prance around being impressed with themselves in their designer clothes that they didn’t have to pay for.
It was terrible. I could hardly stand it. I wonder how Robert Picardo, who is at least an adult, could stand it?
That doesn’t tell you why I forced myself to watch SFA.
