I’m genuinely heartbroken that Starfleet Academy won’t get a third season. This show had so much warmth, hope, character, and real Star Trek spirit. It felt fresh while still respecting what makes Trek special, and I truly believe it was never given a fair chance by some people who dismissed it for reasons beyond the show itself. For those of us who loved it, it meant a lot. Please don’t let it end here.
Ashley a soutenu : Renew ‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’ for a third seasonOPEN LETTER TO PARAMOUNT: Don’t Cancel Starfleet Academy Too Soon
Paramount—
Before you make the call to end Starfleet Academy after Season 2… take a breath and look at your own history.
Because if you listen only to the loudest voices right now, you’re about to repeat the same mistake this franchise has already survived—over and over again.
Let’s be honest:
The Original Series? Canceled too early.
The Next Generation? “Not real Star Trek.” “Too political.”
Deep Space Nine? “Too dark.” “Too different.”
Voyager? “Bad premise.” “Wrong captain.”
Enterprise? Wrote it off before it found itself.
Sound familiar?
Every single one of those shows took heat.
Every single one was doubted.
And every single one needed time to find its footing.
Now here we are again.
Only this time, the criticism isn’t just coming from fans—it’s being weaponized.
We’re in an era where:
Outrage gets clicks
Rage-bait gets paid
Influencers build audiences by tearing things down
Algorithms amplify the loudest, angriest voices
So what looks like “everyone hates this show” is often just the same cycle—louder, faster, and more distorted than ever before.
Let’s be real for a second:
If The Next Generation launched today? It would get shredded online.
If Deep Space Nine dropped in 2026? It would be called “not Star Trek” for a full season.
If Voyager premiered now? The discourse alone might’ve killed it before Season 3.
And if you made decisions based on that noise?
We wouldn’t have the Star Trek legacy you’re protecting right now.
That’s the part that matters.
Because Starfleet Academy isn’t just another show—it’s a gateway.
It’s how new fans find Star Trek.
It’s how a 50+ year-old franchise stays alive instead of slowly turning into a museum piece.
Star Trek has NEVER been about instant perfection.
It’s about:
Growth
Evolution
Characters finding themselves
Shows becoming something bigger than they started as
You don’t get that in one season.
You don’t even get that in two.
You get that when you commit.
Constructive criticism? Good. Necessary, even.
But canceling a Star Trek series before it has time to become what it’s capable of?
That’s not course correction.
That’s cutting the engine mid-flight.
So here’s the ask:
Don’t judge Starfleet Academy by the loudest voices in its first stretch.
Judge it the same way history judged every Star Trek that came before it—
By what it can grow into.
Because if you don’t give it that chance…
You’re not just canceling a show.
You’re canceling the next chapter before it has the chance to prove you wrong.
—A fan who’s seen this cycle before
…and knows exactly what gets lost when you don’t let Star Trek breathe
Jonathan a soutenu : Renew ‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’ for a third seasonThis show is for a different kind of fan, I get that but please give it the chance to find it's people. We are here, we are willing, and we want to see more. I only joined the streaming service again for this show. Makes me sad this has happened. Please rethink this.
Rebecca a soutenu : Renew ‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’ for a third seasonnot even a soul wants this books to be adapted. the books means so much to a lot of people, because we all have at least one character we can identify with, someone we can feel understood by. not a single actor will be able to portray all the problems and trauma each character has. qnd on top of that, they promote the series by saying it's going to be a romance, when it's not, because all of us readers who connect with this series know that it represents much more than that.
aby a soutenu : use your voice to stop the boys of tommen tv adaptation.The fact that people including the author are agreeing to this adaptation is honestly concerning. This isn’t just some random romance you can water down for aesthetics. This series was written for people who struggled. People who saw themselves in those pages. It covers severe, complex mental health issues that are raw, ugly, uncomfortable, and deeply personal. That is not something you squeeze into eight Prime Video episodes and call it a day. Eight episodes cannot and will not do justice to the depth of trauma, healing, and complexity these characters carry. Either it’ll be watered down, overly dramatized, or worse romanticized. And we all know how these platforms work. I can already see edits of Shannon’s dad under Lana Del Rey songs, people glamorizing abuse, turning pain into aesthetics. That’s exactly what this story was never meant to be. This fandom was built on shared pain. On readers who felt seen. Who understood the nausea, the heaviness, the silence between the lines. The books worked because they gave us space to sit with that pain safely. A glossy TV adaptation risks turning something sacred into entertainment. And let’s talk about the company. Out of all platforms Amazon? A corporation known for prioritizing profit over people? Not everything needs to be monetized. Not every powerful story needs to become “content.” There’s also the casting issue. You cannot replicate the energy readers built in their minds. These characters are complex, layered, morally messy. One wrong casting choice and the entire emotional weight collapses. This story wasn’t meant to be consumed casually. It wasn’t written to trend. It was written to heal. Not everything needs to be turned into a show. Not everything needs to be sold. Some stories deserve to stay protected
Anna a soutenu : use your voice to stop the boys of tommen tv adaptation.Thandeka and Ramona must be disqualified
Lerato a soutenu : Disqualify Big Brother housemates for transphobiaThe only reason we go to alton towers is having the pass. If we didnt have it my daughter would never experience days out. She absolutely cannot stand in the lines for that amount of time it causes her extreme anxiety being so crowded she has autism. Its also ridiculous to say we have videos and a sensory room we arent going there to watch videos how is that going to help anybody with autism like its a magic wand or use sensory rooms thats not what we are paying money for. Why have merlin not added the crowds as is stated on the other cards. Her long planned 16th birthday weekend at towers is now ruined and we have lost a lot of money with hotel bookings and tickets etc that has been planned a long time as you have to do with nurodivergent people!
Colleen a soutenu : Hidden Disabilities Still Need Support: Change The Ride Access Pass System ImmediatelyA company that has won awards for being autism friendly, now shunning all the families who rely on RAP to have days out made accessible. Those passes were a lifeline to so many ND people. This new rule, which literally came into place AFTER everyone had booked the first round of RAP, has devastated so many. Learning difficulties, ADHD, and autism are all recognised disabilities and they shouldn't be discriminated against.
Victoria a soutenu : Hidden Disabilities Still Need Support: Change The Ride Access Pass System ImmediatelyMy daughter struggles with the concept of queuing. She’s 22 and non verbal. She’s not going to suddenly understand now. She even struggles in the queues that mix with fast track. All she can see is the big queue in front of her rather than seeing that it moves quickly. She is getting better with those on a quieter day but not always. If she’s in meltdown it’s a struggle to move her away though in the closeness of the queue.
The thrill and the fun that she gets from the rides are her everything.
It makes me really sad as Alton towers has actually helped her achieve so much over the years. When she had new medication that she didn’t want to take she was rewarded with a trip to AT for taking it. We made cut up laminated photos of AT rides with Velcro and gave her a piece for each step from the front door to getting in the taxi to school when she refused to go. When she lost the only bottle she would use. We said she if she used her new bottle she could go to AT. She had a sip before each ride. AT really helped her to achieve goals that were difficult for her.
We only ever visit quiet days but she still needed the rap.
We actually did try a day when rap wasn’t available. She had a meltdown and AT sent her to customer services to be given it as they saw how the queuing affected her.
I have actually praised Alton towers for the new prebooking of rap as the rap queues were way too long for her.
To think that she may never go again is actually heartbreaking
