Written by Barry Trivers, directed by Gerd Oswald.

Stardates 2817.6 through 2819.8 (August 2267)

"I no longer treasure life, not even my own." - Kodos

The Enterprise is diverted from its course by Doctor Thomas Leighton (William Sargent), a childhood friend of Kirk's, simply to watch a performance of Macbeth. Doctor Leighton explains that he believes the lead actor, Anton Karidian (Arnold Moss), to be none other than Kodos the Executioner; a colonial governor that was responsible for killing over 4,000 people after the planet suffered a blight that caused a severe food shortage. Kirk is extremely skeptical of Doctor Leighton's accusation despite having been there with him all those years ago. Kodos was suppose to be dead. But once Doctor Leighton turns up dead himself, Kirk arranges to have Karidian and his troupe travel to their next destination as guests onboard the Enterprise in order to give him time to conduct his own investigation.

When subdued, Captain Kirk and Doctor McCoy discover that the escapee is in fact Doctor Simon Van Gelder (Morgan Woodward), part of the colony's staff. The Administrator of the penal colony, Doctor Tristan Adams (James Gregory), explains that Doctor Van Gelder's condition was the result of an accident when he was testing experimental equipment meant to rehabilitate convicts. However Doctor McCoy becomes suspicious of Doctor Adams' story after closely examining the mentally-addled Doctor Van Gelder.

@startrek Anyone who doesn't think "Academy" lives up to every single thing Trek means... well... it does. And it's good.

Paramount will apparently be getting Warner Bros. and with it all of DC.

I'm posting this here because I'm worried this is going to have some kind of adverse effect on any new and existing Star Trek (that Paramount's priorities will likely shift to DC).

Do you think this is good or bad (or irrelevant) for Star Trek? Because it feels bad to me.

The game comes out today. Has anyone had a chance to check it out yet? I played the demo and wrote my review below.

I played the demo on steam deck and I mostly enjoyed it. It more or less plays out a tutorial mission while the events of the pilot play out.

Game play (in the demo) had 4 distinct parts: space combat, away missions, navigating and flying around space, and ship "stuff".

I disliked the space combat the most. It was an odd mix of turnbased and real-time actions. I never knew where the enemy ship was, and I had trouble balancing the repairs i needed to survive.

Away missions are essentially choose your own adventure text games with some cool art depicting the scenes based on who you select for your mission and what they do.

Navigating and flying around space was fun, but I can see it getting very boring very quickly. Fly from wherever you are to the next system. fly around the planets picking up resources, investigating signals, talking to civilizations. I think if they find a creative way to mix this part up, it can be tons of fun.

Ship "stuff" is very derivative of games like fallout shelter. You have a sideview of the entire ship. you can repurpose rooms for different things, assign personnel to various places like medical or engineering. You can even install new weaponry or equipment to use in space combat or for flying around.

I'll be picking up this game eventually, I am curious what anyone else thinks about it, too.

"I object to intellect without discipline. I object to power without constructive purpose." - Commander Spock

Earth outposts along the Romulan Neutral Zone are suddenly going silent. The Enterprise is rushing to rendezvous with Earth Outpost 4 when it, too, stops transmitting. They manage to send one final message, that they were attacked by an unknown vessel, just before it is completely destroyed. This unknown vessel is strongly believed to be Romulan in origin. It not only possesses a deadly new type of weapon, but can make itself invisible. Captain Kirk must find a way to engage and stop this rampaging ship without jeopardizing the Enterprise and its crew or starting an interstellar war.

Why has there not been a ‘Star Trek’ series or series of movie that involves people with super intelligence & skills like that, but the challenges go along with it? Half joking, but ‘Big Bang Theory’s* character Shelton would work & be funny. Shelton fanboy did not pay me to say that or have something on me to force me to say that. Heck the other ‘Big Bang Theory’s character characters would also work & be funny. But a lot more serious, there are some challenges that give people traits that makes them the perfect crew members.

*- Funnies comedy of all time, The GOAT!

I was born into & will die with Learning Challenges (in- language processing & short & long term memories), have earned degree in SLD, many certifications, including VE & ESE, from the most respected higher educational school in Fl., whatever that is worth, & facilitated learning in Elementary schools’-high schools’-adult education school’s ESE & Etc. classrooms. So I understand that challenges can be extremely hard identify-prove & everywhere, I think everyone has a challenge, to some degree.

Yet I cannot understand the challenges that genetic engineered friends of Dr. Bashir character Lauren (played by Hillary Shepard) & Patrick (played by Michael Keenan).
The only thing that comes close to challenges I see in- Lauren having is higher attraction drive to men, than the average person &
Patrick having is he is easily manipulated-to easy to go along with others, especially by Jack.

Lauren thing seems like UPN censored away the writers from going to a real challenge & forced them to her being just higher attraction drive to men, than the average person, which is not a challenge.
&
Patrick thing is not even close to being a challenge at all, maybe, lack confidence or whatever, but not a challenge, while Lauren is also not a challenge, I can understand that if the writers were not censored away from her being sex addiction, then that would been a challenge.

"There are a million things in this universe you can have, and there are a million things you can't have." - Captain James Kirk

The Enterprise meets with the USS Antares to take aboard a passenger for transfer to Colony Alpha V - a young man named Charlie Evans (Robert Walker). Charlie survived a crash when he was three and had been living alone on a barren planet with only the ship's computer to talk to. As Charlie mingles with the crew, he starts becoming angered when people tell him no or ignore him. These are not normal issues with integration into society after spending his whole life alone, rather something deeper and darker within Charlie that threatens anyone that upsets him.

When they meet, not only does she remember him but she appears exactly as he remembered her. But Captain James Kirk and Crewman Darnell (Michael Zaslow) see a somewhat different woman. This confusion turns into terror when, one by one, Darnell and others are found dead. Someone or something is killing Enterprise crewmembers and Kirk suspects the Craters are not telling him everything.

Free from the obstruction, Kirk decides to push forward into unknown space. Moments later, they encounter and are seized by an impossibly large and technologically superior vessel captained by a Balok of the First Federation (voiced by Ted Cassidy & Walter Edmiston, played by Clint Howard). Balok announces that the Enterprise has violated their space and behaved aggressively, therefore the ship and everyone onboard must be destroyed.

Captain Kirk finds out that Walsh's real name is Harcourt Fenton Mudd - a man with an extensive criminal record and charges Mudd with endangering his ship.
