So, I've never been to a con - mostly because it's expensive and I'm afraid of exactly this happening - so I'm curious.
In general, can you get your con ticket money back if this happens? Or are you stuck with tickets to a con without the people you were there to see?

I get that this is probably not a show for my generation, and fine. I'll curl up with my comfy TNG - ENT Blurays and let the kids have their fun.
But SFA is so threaded through with older Trek references that I can't help but feel they meant it to be for my generation, and they screwed the pooch.

Or, Starfleet Academy, I mean. 🤷
I hung on to see the Sisko episode, and ironically, he was the one thing in the show they UNDER designed. Cookie cutter outline, and no real resolution to the age-old DS9 question.

I think the thing that's bothering me the most about Star Trek Academy (apart from the lazy dialogue, thread bare plots and flat characters) is that visually, it's completely over-designed.
From the sets, to the editing, to the camera angles, to the uniforms, it just reeks of a lack of confidence.

The fact that he made it so Radar looked like he'd had all the oxygen punched out of his body is honestly one of the most powerful things I've ever seen on a screen, so I totally agree.

Plus, didn't they plough through the middle of Viking Dublin to build that blasted thing? Surely 30-odd years of use isn't nearly enough to justify all that destruction.

He didn't misspeak when he said "Iceland" at Davos.
They're talking about invading Europe from the north & he just repeated what he'd heard in those private meetings.
Greenland, then Iceland... then Ireland?

Like, I 100% understand that the other residents in Mountjoy deserve a break from him; I'm sure that's stipulated in the Geneva convention, but surely his former students and colleagues don't deserve this punishment, either.
