It's the offseason for Star Trek Strange New Worlds so we decided to pickup the new Star Trek series Starfleet Academy while we wait. SP, Jake and Carolyn watch with open minds but bring all their bias of their previous trek viewing. They enjoy all the Starfleet nods of both old and new Trek, the 60th anniversary Trek intro, and the ship that is also a school. SP is concerned about teen angst, Jake is concerned about the writings knowing Trek lore, and Carolyn just needs to know what the Athena ship's registry number stands for (NCC 392023). Bear with us as we slightly confuse episodes as we record and try to catch up to real time in the face of real-life obstacles. The trio does bring back some 2016 Star trek trivia which Jake bests us all. Let us know what you think! We'll read your e-mails on the show.

Thank you so much for listening to our coverage of Starfleet Academy.

It is the end of the third season and there's a full crew to discuss if all the individual great moments combine to a great finale. SP, Jake and Carolyn touch on the good, the bad, and the tangents. From Batel and Pike's Inner Light sequence to Doctor Who and timey whimey timelines to the Spock-Kirk mind meld. They also have fun discussing how close of a relative La'An is to Khan, the lunar manure shuttle run, great Doctor Who - Strange New Worlds Character pair-ups, and the Vulcan Doug's best friend. Carolyn gives a brief summary of the 2025 Rose City Comic Con, and the trio get one last game of Star Trek Trivial Pursuit in for the season.

Captain Bubbles and her Redshirts discuss and review the fourth episode the 3rd season titled "A Space Adventure Hour." The crew discuss how despite Paul Welsey nailing William Shatner, Jake lamenting another holodeck failsafe episode, and SP labeling it as a misplaced episode in the season, Shannon absolutely loved the murder mystery. The trio got exactly what they didn't want from La'An and spock to boot. But there was a heartfelt Scotty rehabilitation, a little help from Uhura, and a great round of Star Trek Trivial pursuit. It's always an Adventure hour with our Fancast.

The crew discuss this historic Star Trek episode aired in 2025 that ties the entire universe from season 1 in 1966 to the Picard season 3 finale in 2023.
