"Starfleet Academy" - The Show

Yup. What won out was comfort food viewing. Which is fine, but at least be honest about it. Don't tell me Trek is pushing any limits or groundbreaking or anything.

I wouldn't go that far, it's more after experimenting with various things they have a much better idea of what works and doesn't work, some experiments were highly successful, some weren't.

Now that things are getting rougher, they will take what they've learned to make safer bets.

Picard was always going to end season 3, its the middle group between a mini series and full series, but Discovery is THE flagship Star Trek series for Canada Trek (what I call New Trek), yet its entire run has been completely eciplsed by Strange New Worlds which has the highest audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes of any Star Trek 1st season since the OG Star Trek. It just doesn't make sense having Discovery be the Flagship anymore when its last season got have an audience scorw of 20, one fourth of Strange New World.

So I believe that post season 5, unless Discovery has a shockingly popular home run of a season 5, will get cancelled in favour of either increasing the episide count of SNW so they can stick it on CBS, or create a new less gritty Star Trek series, possible Star Fleet Academy (I give it a 50/50 of being dumped for another idea) or in favour of the rumoured Seven of Nine spin off which my hypothisis see her as Captain of the Enterprise F.

Sure hope this is wrong. Another Enterprise series, even with Seven, would feel repetitive.

First of all, the rumor you read was from Giant Freakin Robot, a clickbait site. Second, I doubt these producers care all that much about the Enterprise-F. If they did, they wouldn’t have spoiled that it was the STO ship six months before the season even started. The Ent-F is just an afterthought to them. They are far more interested in the new Titan. Never mind that it’s pretty hard to believe that Seven will be a captain when she apparently just joined Starfleet.

And they also would have made a brand new TV/Hero quality model instead of just using the STO model outright.

Now that I know more about it your probably right. But even a Titan series could feature major cameos from the Enterprise F.
 
Most of it's filmed in LA, but season 1 did have a scene that was shot in Canada, Riker on the bridge of the ship he barrowed.
That's a cop out and you know it.
They didn't shoot anything in Season 2 in Canada, and probably nothing in Season 3 either.

Lower Decks is animated in Canada but everything else is in the states.

Not sure where Prodigy is animated.
 
I just want the Academy to be in an asteroid ship ;)

To save on dilithium….we will just use slower but larger replacements for shuttlecraft…call it The Seeker… ;)
 
I'm wondering if the delay in releasing Season 5 of Discovery is not just about reshoots but also about giving momentum/a lead up to an Academy series set to follow it. Since they're bringing back ppl for Season 5 reshoots, they could move this into production on a new show. They might be waiting to announce it so they don't step all over Picard.

Gotta give myself a high five for this one
