RE: https://meow.social/@drmaddkap/116041031894956942

They actually filmed a Star Trek/Police Academy crossover movie?

@cstross

It's turned out to be entertaining. Two things to note, and they're not spoilers, but provide background that you really won't know unless you watched "ST: Discovery".

1. This is about 800 years after ST:TOS.
2. There was an event called "The Burn" where ships actively using dilithium went BOOM. This led to the balkanization of space, including the reduction of power projection by Starfleet.

@cstross Unfortunately not, because a movie about wacky cops, helping a very serious, no nonsense time traveling star ship crew re-populate whales in the future, by distracting all those shady government science guys on their trail with crazy antics, would be just too perfect.

@cstross I won't even consider content from Kurtzman. That man couldn't find decent writing with a map and a guide. What he's done to Star Trek is a crime against art.

@cstross it was bold and refreshing move to make the Klingon the whacky one that does all the sound effects

@cstross Watched the first episode as it was free on Youtube. It's okay, but not good enough to get a Paramound Plus subscription just for that. I'll watch the rest of it when Strange New Worlds has a new season up.
