In this episode of Old Man Yelling at Star Trek, our battle-hardened Trek traditionalist reviews Star Trek: Starfleet Academy – “Vitus Reflux”, an episode centered on the cadets getting locked in an all-out prank war. Yes. In Starfleet. Where humanity’s finest are apparently one whoopee cushion away from a court-martial.
Is this lighthearted fun that builds character and camaraderie… or does it feel like Star Trek wandered into a space-age college comedy and forgot its tricorder? Expect grumpy disbelief, begrudging laughs, hard questions about tone, and a running tally of how many pranks would’ve earned you a swift trip to the brig in classic Trek.
If you enjoy Trek debates, generational clashes, and watching someone wrestle with the idea of Starfleet cadets acting like they’re in Animal House… in space, this one’s for you.
🖖 Like, subscribe, and stand down from prank condition one.
🛸 The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the gag.
