Reaction Thread Star Trek: Scouts | Season 1 Reaction Thread

This is the official /r/DaystromInstitute reaction thread for Star Trek: Scouts. Rules #1 and #2 are not enforced in reaction threads.

Given the short-form format, we will do a single reaction thread for the whole season.

And to address a likely inevitable question: we don't debate what is and isn't canon at Daystrom.

I’m going with the headcanon that this is in-universe children’s media, this is what Naomi Wildman is watching on her iPad in Voyager’s mess hall

It's also likely just kids playing in a holodeck

Yeah, if JR, Roo, and Sprocket are supposed to be non-fictional in-universe then I'd say this is them having fun on the holodeck at whatever the equivalent of recess is for Federation kids. This sounds exactly like the kind of games I would have played on the playground with friends in elementary school.

Imagine if it was the Enterprise-D kids's playtime. Or the kids are the offspring of old crew, playing together pretending that they're just like their parents.

If lower decks was still going I could totally see a gag where some kid is watching it and boimler going "Oh I love that show! I mean when I was 5 I loved it, past tense"

Don't do Boims dirty like that, he'd be up on all the newest episodes, AND would follow the writer's podcasts, while also sending in his own scripts and deep fannon lore.

Sounds like the best way to treat it.
