Thoughts about #StarFleetAcademy

I am a Fan of a Certain Age, and what I loved most about this 2-part series opener is how it addresses the being a teen dramedy for fans like me: The Magic Flute.

They couldn't have done it in a funnier, better way.

The Magic Flute is a silly, high-camp masterpiece. It's what SA endeavors to be: a way to talk about surviving catastrophe, rebuilding, and still keeping childlike wonder.

This #StarTrek isn't about the Cold War or The War on Terror or The End of History. E2 convinced me this is about the USA since 1980, and particularly since 2016.

It's about our War on Children. The one here in the USA, and around the world. There's a reason the separation of mother and child is central to Starfleet Academy.

I'm cautiously optimistic. This might be amazing.
