    A Starfleet Academy show with Holly Hunter and Paul Giamatti? WTF am I reading?

      If nothing else, lets us know Paramount is actually confident in supporting the idea.

        I wonder if this means that Mary Wiseman is out and this will be a different era?

          I hope not. I want more Tilly sass.

            I guess, but I’m hoping this means it will happen during a classic ST era and not 800 years from TNG.

              They’re already dead set on post DISCO, from what I’ve heard.

                I heard that too. But that was before I heard about Holly Hunter and just rumors about Mary Wiseman, so who knows?

                I have a feeling this last season of Discovery crashing and burning may have changed their minds on that.

                  One can only hope. Not to mention, it could help fulfill my longstanding wish to see Headmaster O’Brien.

                  Did season 5 crash and burn? Last I heard it was hitting Nielsen’s top ten streaming list. Seems pretty good for a show that was on its way out.

    Villain, damn. I mean awesome because it’s Paul Giamatti, but I was hoping he’d be a member of Starfleet. I could see him as a Chief O’Brien/Jett Reno mashup.

      You know I could see him being a hard ass captain. It would really be a shame for him to be relegated to bad guy, that being said he would probably make it the bad guy you love to hate.

      Could still be a member of Starfleet. There’s always a need for badmirals.

        That is a solid point. I hadn’t even thought the villain could be starfleet. I’ll report to the cardassian detention camps for retraining.

          That reminds me: check in on Thomas Riker while you’re there.

    Well, well, well… they’re casting some impressive actors for this.
