You Had Me At Aach-Bech-Keh-Bech-Ooch-Bey-Cha
And I’m back! Did you miss me?
…
It’s me, The Orion.
…
No, not Tendi, the other one.
…
No, not the belly dancer, the other… no, not the one Kirk Kobayashi Maru’s in Star Trek 09 either. The other… you know what, it’s fine. It’s fine…
Anyhoo, we’re back and so is Star Trek!
[hold for applause]
The long awaited Starfleet Academy premiered earlier this month; the viewers who didn’t write it off before it premiered, are currently four episodes in with a 5th coming this Thursday. From my own perspective, the show has been fine. There’s parts I’ve enjoyed - Sam, she’s adorable - and parts I haven’t. Which is a shame because I am a a bit of a slut for angsty YA dramas. However, it just hasn’t connected yet. That is until episode 4. … Jay-Den? More like Jay-Damn… Amiright?

Anyhoo… “Star Trek Debates ‘X’” is usually a winning formula, and this was no exception. Too bad a certain fascist-y parent company is missing out on all that sweet-sweet subscription monies because it feels like they have a winner. But what do I know? It’s not like they routinely cancel fan-favorite, award-winning shows. Despite the solid execution of the narrative, the internets have been ablaze with measured, thought-provoking critiques, and absolutely zero racist, homophobic, or shitty things to say. Because nobody hates a new Star Trek show like the fans.
So, naturally, I am all in.
