About this listen

🌌 Class is officially in session.

Episode 2 of Starfleet Academy turns the volume up—on character dynamics, ideological tension, and the not-so-quiet question of what kind of Starfleet this new generation is being trained for.


In this spoiler review, Fares breaks down:

- How Episode 2 deepens (and complicates) our core characters

- The early cracks between ideals and reality

- World-building choices that hint at bigger conflicts ahead

- Whether the show is finding its rhythm—or still recalibrating the nacelles

- And what this episode tells us about the season’s long game


It’s less orientation, more pressure test. Fewer introductions, more consequences. The future’s arriving early—and it’s got opinions.
