Well, it wasn't done too badly on DS9, with Red Squad and the Defiant-class ship, although that was only one episode. TNG's take, with Wil Wheaton and the dude who played Tom Paris (Voyager), was too teen for me, though.

Starfleet Academy would be good (Riverdale, 13 reasons why, styled in space)...but hardcore fans will just tear IT APART.

I dunno... I feel like teen angst and Star Trek don't blend well. Although technically, this would be more like basic training/university than high school drama.

Another problem would be Star Trek is about discovery.... which is hard to do when you're stuck on Earth in Starfleet Academy.


Side note: Tom Paris was never a teen on Voyager. The character's metal age might be somewhere in the teens, but that receding hairline says otherwise.

I meant the actor who played Tom Paris was some other character in that episode of TNG. I didn't mean the character Tom Paris was in TNG. I don't think his hairline was that great in TNG, either. Haven't seen that episode in 15 years, though.

Found the episode. Guess his hair wasn't so bad :D .

I got what you meant
IMO your initial statement was clear with commas and everything

I dunno how it was interpreted as Tom Paris was in TNG or that Tom Paris was a teen

Red matter :D .

Is that a bowtie that Pike is wearing with his uniform? :D I like how they made the TOS shirt look like a jacket.

I like Pike's portrayal in the trailer- no nonsense, to the point, tight, and in charge like how Bruce Greenwood did it. But the choice of song in the trailer ... I dunno.

Some rumoured takes

-A series set at Starfleet Academy from creators Stephanie Savage and Josh Schwartz. The duo most recently developed the CW’s reboot of “Dynasty” and previously created shows like “Gossip Girl” and Hulu and Marvel’s “Runaways.”

Terry Farrell still looks damn good at 54. I forgot that she was married to Adam Nimoy.

Best of luck to new Spock!
