  1. This is hilarious. Last night, I was watching the RedLetterMedia video while my wife struggled through StarFleet Academy.

    Okay we’ve heard the Youtube views on this non Youtube show, but what does Ja Rule think??

    I didn’t even know the first episode was on youtube. I wonder how many people know that they can go watch it now for free.

  4. It looks so painfully stupid in the trailers. As if someone mashed Star Trek with Beverly Hills 90210. Zero appeal to me. And I love Star Trek and Tig Nataro, she’s awesome.

    OP genuinely believes that this show got less than 82k views streaming on Paramount+ and around the world because YouTube is free lol

    Aren’t most people who are watching Starfleet Academy just watching it on Paramount instead? Not sure what the point of this comparison is

  7. Really? A video about a show with 170 plus episodes that people have been watching for 30 plus years is more popular on YouTube than a streaming only show with two episodes released?

  8. I forgot this show was coming out until I saw ad for on social media site. I’m a ST fan, so I guess I’ll watch it eventually, but the trailer doesn’t draw me in at all.

    I wish they would make the ST: Legacy show with Captain 7 of 9 that everyone actually wants.

  9. Time to stop pissing about and remaster DS9. According to the documentary its widescreen ready which is amazing

    Man, what is the drive to denigrate Academy. I came in with such low expectations and it’s enjoyable and kind of faithful to the Trek vibe. Compared to the first couple of episodes of even the best Trek, like DS9, I really have not much negative to say. This is obviously more a reflection of youtube/paramount being terrible at promoting previews on Youtube.

  11. I want to see the show (I actually like Star Trek unlike most fans nowadays). I just won’t buy Paramount + because the current head is pro Gaza genocide

  12. We’ve watched all the nu-Trek shows but I just can’t get excited about this despite my perpetual crush on Sylvia Tilly.

    I’m a huge lifelong Trekkie and I had no idea it even dropped until yesterday. To be fair I’m avoiding all CBS services cuz… well ya know.

    I tried to get passed the advertised material and tried the first two episodes and I don’t know who this is made for but it’s definitely not me.

    I didn’t know it existed, I only watch TV at night and I just stream television shows, the only advertisements I see for prescription medications with very sinister sounding side effects.

    I have no idea how they’re supposed to reach me as a viewer.

    I didn’t know it’s on YouTube and I’m not paying for paramount plus again. Their app sucks ass and is in practical terms, unusable.

  17. I’m in Star Trek fandoms all over the internet and this is how I found out a new show came out.

  18. secretAGENTmanPVT on

    Haha.

    **It’s RLM and the incomparable RICH EVANS.**

    Star Trek: *Starfleet Academy* didn’t stand a chance.

  19. I cannot believe the small amount of promotion that this show got. It was on my radar, but I didn’t even know that the first episode had already aired.

  20. Come on now, SFA is just stretching its legs. No need to compare it to one of the best parts of Trek – DS9.
