In this episode of Old Man Yelling at Star Trek, our grizzled Trek lifer reviews Star Trek: Starfleet Academy – “Vox in Excelso”, an episode that puts the spotlight on the Klingon student as he confronts deep-rooted trauma, cultural identity, and what it really means to carry honor into Starfleet.
Is this a thoughtful, character-driven exploration that respects Klingon lore and Trek’s long history of grappling with trauma… or does it sand down the edges in the name of modern storytelling? Expect serious reflection, raised voices about canon, moments of genuine respect, and the occasional barked “this almost works” from a man not easily impressed.
If you like your Star Trek wrestling with big ideas, emotional scars, and bat’leth-level debates about legacy and identity, you’re in the right place.
