This week marks the finale of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy season one. With teaser photos now out in the wild it seems Paramount+ is teasing a huge confrontation to bring the first season to a close. Do we trust Tatiana Maslany’s Anisha? Or could she secretly be working with Nus (Paul Giamatti)? We’ll find out with the latest episode streams this Thursday on Paramount+.
This week’s finale, “Rubincon”, is written by Alex Kurtzman & Kirsten Beyer from a story by Noga Landau & Gaia Violo. The episode was directed by Trek veteran Olatunde Osunsanmi. Here’s a look at the episode synopsis:
When an old enemy resurfaces as an existential threat to the Federation, Nahla must outwit a vengeful foe with a personal vendetta against her — as our cadets and instructors undertake a dangerous, seemingly impossible, mission to save everyone and everything they hold dear.
In our four-star first impressions of the season Neil says “Starfleet Academy successfully bridges Trek’s storied past with a bold vision for its future, even if the teenage drama elements won’t convince everyone. The stellar adult cast anchors the show while the cadets grow into their roles, with standout episode “Series Acclimation Mil” proving the series understands what makes Trek special. It’s an ambitious, hopeful addition to the franchise that earns its place at the table.”
