He's still enjoying the journey and is happy to know a third season is already on the way. Jay is diving into Star Trek: Starfleet Academy on Paramount+ and was pleasantly surprised by its quality and tone. Holly Hunter stands out, and Jay appreciates that the show doesn't talk down to younger viewers while still feeling very much like Star Trek.
