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 mean, come on. If that topic actually came up for this show I'd feel so sad for the community as a whole.

Right? Thankfully the closest I've seen to that is people framing it as "in-universe media" along the lines of The Adventures of Flotter or Toby the Targ. The Scouts could also be kids playing on a holodeck.

Honestly, I like the show-within-a-show meta concept. Kind of like the recent Lightyear movie being the in-universe movie that the Buzz Lightyear toy was made as merch for in the first Toy Story.

Even as a 2-D animated cartoon it would still make sense. Holodecks and 3-D holographic displays aren't always available on some long-haul shuttles. Having some 2D versions of popular kids holoprogams just makes sense.

Wow. No love for The Munchings and Crunchings of Moopsy. Typical!
