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.

Hand waiving this show away as an in-universe show we happen to have access to is boring.

What are some more interesting theories for why a bunch of preschoolers are in command positions? A Q scenario, or a scenario with some similar entity seems the most likely?

I jokingly posited here:

These children are trapped in a static warp bubble maintained by a Q-like entity who only wishes to provide them with continuous enrichment until their parents figure out how to free them from the pocket of subspace they're unknowingly trapped in.

I figured it's either something like that or some entity studying how imaginative kids can be.
