I do like that the main older female has a normal face and not full of filler and Botox.
Who knew that would become rare?
God I miss forehead wrinkles on actors.
Not to mention, Holly Hunter has been taking good care of herself.
I'm not loving how childish the students act. Most are sulking and barely seem to want to be there. They act like sullen middle schoolers and not the 21yo best of the best competing. The tonal shifts are jarring, from the main character being bratty and whining and then there's explosions and violence.
The tonal shifts are really rough. Jarring is right. I feel like I need to watch the first episode again because they'd jump from one baffling thing to another. Why is Starfleet ripping a child away from a mother? Why is there no councilor? Why is the captain/headmaster now trying to play mom to this kid??? Oh wait emotional scene over now it's your first day at school young man! What wacky characters will you meet? There's for some reason a hologram child?? Sure she's an autistic person analog but why not make her that and instead a hologram? To what end? Don't think too hard, we're back to violence!! Violence with some flat dull jokes! Slapstick!
Argh. Exhausting.
I kinda saw that as just there young and not experienced yet. Also it's the first time the academy has been made for a long long time so the strictness of it all I would think wouldn't have been as high before the burn happened. But I didn't really pay attention to that. Can't get into the drama type stuff. But valid point though
Staaaaaar trekking across the universe…

Business aside, I'm enjoying it so far. There is some cringy school drama, but that's to be expected. Looking forward to see where things go.
