    An Introduction to Starfleet Academy (Part 2 of 2)

    We Are Starfleet is back with the second part of our Starfleet Academy primer, looking at two episodes set at the Academy and with Starfleet Cadets from the 90s era of Trek. We first look at Star Trek: The Next Generation's "The First Duty" and then Star Trek: Deep Space Nine's "Valiant." Mike, Ian, Craig, and Ashley consider how these early portrayals of the Academy might influence a 32nd-century look at the Academy.

    An Introduction to Starfleet Academy (Part 1 of 2)

    Just before the new show drops on Paramount+, the crew of WE ARE STARFLEET gets together to take a look at what we might expect from 'STARFLEET ACADEMY' due out January 15, 2026. We theorize what we might get out of the show, discuss castings and cameos, and how life at the academy has been historically portrayed in the franchise. As noted, this is a two-part episode! In our next episode of the podcast, we talk TNG's THE FIRST DUTY and DS9's VALIANT, two episodes that portray cadets at the academy at their not-so-best.
