SPOILERS TOTAL. You've been warned.
101: Kids These Days 2026 January 15
(First watched 2026-01-15) Some interesting parts, but too much of this felt tropey for me to consider it great. Dude with parent issues getting into trouble but seeing Starfleet Academy as a potential way out is not far from Kelvin James Kirk, or Prime Jack Crusher, and surely many non-Star Trek instances I'm less familiar with. Then first day cadets getting into beefs over stupid shit, to be forced to work together for the common good by the end of the episode... yawn.
The Doctor still seems much the Doctor, not so different many hundreds of years later except perhaps a bit grumpier and more sure of himself.
I've never seen anyone curl up in a captain's char like Captain Chancellor Nala or whatever, but hey, go for it. Her species is a ridiculously long-lived one, but I note she said she was something like 450 years old, which neatly prevents anyone from trying to fit her into events of 22nd-25th century shows.
So the Athena is the academy... but also San Francisco is the academy. I wonder how big they are relative to each other in terms of space and people at a given time? Because having a big part of your eggs in one spacefaring basket seems risky, as the events of this episode would indicate.
As a villain, Paul Giamatti's seems closest to a Strange New Worlds era Harry Mudd. Dangerous but definitely not presenting a more serious air of someone like a Dukat or Khan.
