Starfleet Academy Episodes 4 & 5 Review | This Show Is So Boring
from Thumb War · host Bleav + Rachel Selig & Jason Doyle
Episodes 4 and 5 of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy lean heavily on legacy name-drops and Deep Space Nine nostalgia — but is that enough? In this episode of Thumb War, we break down the hologram storyline that doesn’t hold up, the Klingon cultural pivot, the triad reveal, and why Episode 5 might be the most frustrating (and maybe most boring) chapter of the season so far. We want to love new Star Trek. But honoring the past means more than just referencing it. Is this bold evolution… or just confused storytelling? Let us know what you think.
