The year is 2381. They have been betrayed. Outlawed and alienated by Starfleet Command. Yet in times of war and uncertainty, the persecuted must endure. Ready to answer the urgent call for truth, justice and freedom. They are that crew.
After returning to base in San Francisco after a long diplomatic mission to Romulus, it was due to pure happenstance that the crew of the USS Theurgy managed to pick up transmissions that detailed a horrifying change to Starfleet Command. The senior positions of Starfleet Command - Starfleet's operational authority - included the Commander in Chief, the Chief of Staff and the Chief of Starfleet Operations. These three individuals, along with an unknown number of others in the organization, were revealed through the transmissions to be impersonators of the people they once were; replaced by an unknown enemy.
Before the truth came out, the crew's secretive efforts to meet this threat was compromised, and they had to flee Earth in order to save their own lives. The USS Theurgy was hunted by their former collective fleet - the pursuers merely following orders and whatever fabricated truth Command had given them. The Theurgy escaped after an enduring two months gruesome chase through the Alpha Quadrant. Yet the truth be their witness, they would restore Starfleet to the Federation and the President, and enlighten their fellow brothers and sisters in the fleet about the immediate danger they unknowingly were in by carrying out the orders of Starfleet Command. Yet the Theurgy also had to protect the truth they carried at all cost...

- Review of SFA: "300th Night" - 05 March
- Starfleet Academy delivers its so far clearly best episode with "300th Night". The season finale is only one week away, and I think there's hope for the series again.#cdata_escape_encode#
- Updated: Observations in TNG: "Manhunt" and TNG: "The Emissary" - 01 March
- Two more old articles updated with new references, new screen caps and other improvements: Observations in TNG: "Manhunt" and Observations in TNG: "The Emissary".#cdata_escape_encode#
- Review of SFA: "The Life of the Stars" - 26 February
- Still no positive development: Today's Starfleet Academy episode "The Life of the Stars" sinks into endless emotional talk and turns into the most tedious hour this series has delivered.#cdata_escape_encode#
- Updated: Observations in TNG: "Half a Life" - 21 February
- Several additions and improvements in Jörg's article on Observations in TNG: "Half a Life".#cdata_escape_encode#
- Review of SFA: "Ko'Zeine" - 19 February
- The latest Starfleet Academy review is up: "Ko'Zeine" tries to build emotional stories about course corrections in the lives of two cadets, but ends up feeling shallow and predictable.#cdata_escape_encode#
- Review of SFA: "Come, Let's Away" - 12 February
- The latest Starfleet Academy episode "Come, Let's Away" comes with a serious situation and a dramatic tonal shift. I welcome the change, but the story is not as convincing and suspenseful as it could have been.#cdata_escape_encode#
- Updated Reviews of VOY: "Nightingale" and "Flesh and Blood I/II" - 07 February
- I needed a break from SFA and so I reviewed three more Voyager season 7 episodes, VOY: "Nightingale" and the double feature VOY: "Flesh and Blood I/II" .#cdata_escape_encode#
- Review of SFA: "Series Acclimation Mil" - 05 February
- Here is my review of SFA: "Series Acclimation Mil". It features two great cameos, but also a contrived reveal and plenty of misplaced humor. The result is that SAM learns more about herself than about the subject she set out to study.#cdata_escape_encode#
- Review of SFA: "Vox in Excelso" - 29 January
- Today's Starfleet Academy episode "Vox in Excelso" explores the art of debate, the traumatic experiences of a cadet and the fate of his species, but it doesn't handle any of it as well as it could have.#cdata_escape_encode#
- Review of SFA: "Vitus Reflux" - 22 January
- Here is my review of this week's Starfleet Academy episode "Vitus Reflux". It fails on so many levels from the silly fungus with a stupid name to the questionable moral that I don't know where to start. I expect that this will remain a one-time misfire, though.#cdata_escape_encode#

- Here is my (less positive) review of the second episode, SFA: "Beta Test". I have added references from the pilot to various sections of the site. "Beta Test" will follow in next couple of days, including the details on the classical music (Mozart's Die Zauberflöte and Beethoven's Fidelio).#cdata...
- Review of SFA: "Kids These Days" - 15 January
- Starfleet Academy is burdened by an unpopular series idea and is additionally set in Discovery's unloved post-Burn era. Read my full review of the premiere "Kids These Days" for a first assessment of whether this series can find its place in the Star Trek Universe.#cdata_escape_encode#
