Starfleet's Evasive Maneuvers exam has turned into an actual battle for survival as Jean-Luc and his classmates find themselves facing the very real threat of death by vacuum of space! They can't reach Starfleet, and enemy Romulans continue invading their ship. Can Picard and his crewmates outmaneuver the enemy in their first-ever ship-on-ship space battle, or will he, in his first role as acting captain, succumb to the chaos and shouting matches among his crew?
OverallPicard's Academy continues to give us a bit of insight into Jean Luc's early days at Starfleet Academy and shows how difficult he found it to make friends. However, one of the elements missing from the story is some of the incidents mentioned throughout TNG's run whenever Picard talked about his time in the Academy or whenever someone else mentioned it. For example, in The Best of Both Worlds Admiral Hanson talks about how Picard surprised everyone by winning the Academy Marathon. It would be great to see some of these anecdotal stories brought to life in this series. Read Full Review
