Positively Trek 336: A Victim of the Culture Wars? Or Something Else? Our Thoughts on the Cancellation of Starfleet Academy, the People Currently in Charge of Star Trek, and the State of the World Kind of a mixed bag in this episode of Positively Trek, as hosts Barry and Dan look around at the remnants of the Star Trek universe in the wake of the cancellation of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, which now joins Discovery, Prodigy, Lower Decks, and Strange New Worlds in the pile of Trek series cut down before what should have been their ends. We also talk about the current folks in charge of our beloved franchise, what they have to do with the current state of the real world, and opine on what the future of the Star Trek universe might bring.
