    Do we know enough about Starfleet Academy to hate it? I like the genre of show it seems to be and love the idea of such a thing in the Star Trek universe. Why are all the teenage melodrama shows always in a magical/vampire setting? Why not SciFi? Clearly my perspective isn’t the majority of the current Star Trek audience, but why not broaden that audience and welcome new fans to the tent?

      We don’t know enough to say it’s bad yet, but it seems to not be what most Star Trek fans want out of a new show. People will go in expecting it to be bad, so it will have to be incredible just to be accepted. My hopes are not high, considering how Discovery ended.

        I guess I’m also still confused by the hate for Lower Decks. That was my favorite Star Trek show since TNG.

          I have never ever heard anyone say a bad word about Lower Decks. Usually it isn’t mentioned but when it is it’s someone ranting about new Star Trek and then caveat that they like Lower Decks.
