The first season is in the books — so how did Starfleet Academy really do?
In this FULL SPOILERS Season 1 retrospective, the hosts of From 60,000 Lightyears step back and look at the entire first season of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy. After ten episodes of new cadets, evolving relationships, legacy connections, and big Trek ideas, we’re asking the bigger questions: what worked, what didn’t, and what this show ultimately adds to the Star Trek universe.
We revisit the standout episodes, the character arcs that landed, and the themes that defined the season. We also talk honestly about the places where the show felt rushed, how the shorter episode count shaped the storytelling, and what we hope to see when the series returns.
Did Season 1 win us over?
Did the show capture the spirit of Trek?
And where should Starfleet Academy boldly go next?
