An Oscar-nominated actor who stopped by Star Trek, now the worst ever
By Chris SnellGrove | Being published
Starfleet AcademyThe latest Star Trek series, Star Trek, is released on January 15, 2026, and the series is already experiencing warp-speed sales. Recently, we found a Starfleet Academy poster that many fans criticized for making the upcoming spoison look like a teenybopper drama in the vein of 90210 or Dawson’s Creek.
Afterward, Paramount released a four-minute video clip, but instead of drawing in fans’ excitement, the clip accomplished only one thing: it revealed a new cast member:
Star Trek’s new villain is a joke
His character, nus braka, doesn’t appear until the end of the clip, where he appears on the ship’s bridge with a hologram to talk to the captain of the holly hunter (Nahla Ake). This is a lot of excuses for the GiaMatti Monologie, and I only wish that the speech that followed was intended to make the character sound like spam, as it is not bad for the new Trek series. However, the speech is full of (and I wish I was being funny here) more comparisons of the chicken to the “origami chicken.”
He tells the captain that time folds itself like an origami chicken, and that this moment (their sudden meeting after being one or more chickens. Trying to piece together this fake almost broke my brain, and I couldn’t help but wonder if this terrible text was written by AI. At the end of the clip, GiaMatti’s character suddenly moves away from his Origami mind to speak one of the Clichéd lines in Cinema: “Payback’s AB*TCH.”
As a lifelong Star Trek fan, I already had a lot of doubts about it Starfleet Academy… Not only is the show a spinoff of Getting it (A controversial series that took a while to really find its feet), but it seemed like it was trying too hard to appeal to a younger audience. Trek has had a hard time appealing in this realm, and I really don’t think turning the 59-year-old franchise’s latest project into a melodrama made up of teenagers is going to do the trick.
Star Trek casts a famous actor
Still, I was holding out hope for a new series because Paul GiaMatti was going to play his main villain. After all, this is an oscar-nominated actress who was a total revelation inside – Lukethen he went on to steal the scene behind the scene in similar movies Cinderella man and Saved Mr. Banks. If the new Star Trek show was supposed to have a badass (rather than the rotating series of villains from the old shows like The original series and The next generation), I was happy that it was going to be an actor with such amazing talent.
Unfortunately, this Starfleet Academy clip proves that Paramount is ruining his cool skills by giving him the franchise’s worst dialogue since Section 31 movie. Here’s where it hits me: Based on this clip, it looks like nus braka is going to be the worst villain in Star Trek history. That’s because it combines all the good old, treshard franchise villains (like Harry Mudd or Sybok) and all the bad revenge one liners bad franchise villains (like Shinzon or the Khan of Star Trek in the dark).
The death of Star Trek as we know it
These two aspects of GiaMatti’s character effectively cancel each other out. That is, the beauty (like his over-the-top laugh with his chicken statue) illuminates the menace … Is it worth taking the chicken movie line (AB * TCH directly after the ’90s line from the mouth to threaten in the space of 30 seconds.
Maybe Paul GiaMatti will surprise us Starfleet Academy… There is always a nonkero chance that the show will be big and very important (for reasons I can’t even get mad) If this is as good as the series gets, however, this spinoff acquisition may be dead on arrival. We can only hope that the Paramous Entess who are now trying to reboot Star Trek will fold the Differed Show into an interesting Origami shape after it’s dead.
