    In my fantasy, I might be able to edit together an interesting video.

    This editor explains The Rockford Files opening title sequence.

    Here's a video on why he hates Starfleeet Academy, because it talks down
    to its audience.

    Incorrectly. Pretty much everything technical about how it was done, he got wrong. Slide projection? In a room with a moving camera? Those are stills
    on an animation stand.

    Yeah, it sucks so bad that I've never seen anyone try to defend it - not
    even on Reddit! Even "The Acolyte" manages to turn up a few (IMO wrong-headed!) defenders, but not "Starfleet Academy"!!

    There was someone here who said he was enjoying it. I haven't seen that lately, though.

    I watched the first episode and enjoyed it more than I expected, but
    that was primarily because my expectations were so low.
