6 Years Later, Star Trek Is Flipping The Script On Its Darkest Twist

Following a century of spotty warp drive caused by a catastrophe known as "the Burn," Starfleet and the UFP were scrappy, sad, and beaten down, having lost many of their biggest allies, including the Vulcans, and somehow, even Earth. But what a difference a few years can make. Set just after the end of Discovery Season 5, the new series Starfleet Academy is reviving a more hopeful version of the Federation and Starfleet.

Star Trek: Starfleet Academy tries something different, and I don't hate it

Ake accepts the job, and to atone for her mistake in separating Mir from his mother, she pressgangs him into the Academy as a new recruit. Oh, she's also a Lanthanite (technically a human-lanthanite hybrid), and 422 years old, which means she remembers working for the pre-burn Federation. She isn't the only academy instructor with pre-burn experience in Starfleet. Jett Reno (Tig Notaro), who came to the 32nd century with Discovery, teaches the cadets physics. And the Doctor (Robert Picardo) is chief medical officer.

'Starfleet Academy' Review: This Really Isn't Your Parents 'Star Trek'

When Gene Roddenberry created the series back in 1964 - which later debuted in 1966, six decades ago this year - the answer to that question was easy: everyone. Because of Star Trek's impact on entertainment and culture, well-meaning fans tend to want to believe that Roddenberry set out to make a show about an idealistic future, full of stories that tackled hard-hitting social issues in sci-fi guises.

75 Years Ago, One History-Making Sci-Fi Show Set The Stage For Star Trek

In early 2026, the Star Trek franchise will boldly go where it's never gone before: An entire TV series devoted to the institution known as Starfleet Academy. By its very nature, a show about a space academy will, of course, focus on space cadets; people training to become futuristic types of astronauts. But, Star Trek, of course, did not invent this idea, nor did that famous franchise even popularize the notion of a "space cadet."
