"Come, Let's Away" Starfleet Academy S1E06 Review SNWF047

The Redshirts dive into one of Starfleet Academy’s most intense and emotionally charged episodes yet as SP, Jake, and Carolyn break down the cadets’ first real training mission gone disastrously wrong. The Redshirts tackle loss, sacrifice, and hard lessons about duty as the Academy crew faces a deadly derelict ship, a brutal new enemy, and the reality that Starfleet service comes with real consequences. The discussion covers Tarima’s dangerous telepathic gamble, if Caleb has a growing discomfort with others sacrificing themselves for him, the delivering of a deliciously hateable villain in Nus, and whether the episode finally proves this series is willing to raise the stakes. Along the way, the hosts debate writing choices, villain motivation, Academy preparedness, standout performances, and the emotional impact of losing a cadet, before closing out with ratings, classic Trek connections, listener feedback, and the always-chaotic Trek trivia segment.

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