About this listen
Phasers set to petty. 🎯Fares breaks down Episode 3 of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, titled “Vitus Reflux,” where Starfleet education takes a sharp left turn into rivalry, ego, and laser-tag chaos.
This week, the cadets face off against the openly hostile War College in Calica, a high-stakes, prank-fueled laser-tag competition that’s less about points and more about pressure. Genesis and Darem battle it out for team captain, a prank war spirals out of control, and Chancellor Ake quietly pulls the strings—using the chaos as a crucible to test leadership, collaboration, and who cracks when Starfleet values are stress-tested.
Fares digs into what the episode is really asking: Can ambition coexist with teamwork?
Is leadership earned—or seized?
And how very Star Trek is it to turn a prank war into a moral exam?
Competitive instincts. Questionable decisions. Lessons learned the hard way.Welcome to Starfleet—hope you studied.
