Starfleet Academy - It's Happening

[Eggs Mayonnaise]

Captain Jane Hathaway.

OMG that was my first thought too, that Holly wouldn't blend with the crushing schedule of hourlong TV. Or that she'd get into long drawn-out arguments with the directors / writers about the innermost details of her character. BUT WE'LL SEE.

TV shows are just long movies these days though.

Will he wear a giant mechanical rhino suit?

 

[Mentalist]

Giamatti is a good get. Quality actor.

 

[Dr Dave]

Perhaps he will play a cranky dean who is out to ruin the fun.

 

[CaptainWacky]

I hope it is that and not some "I'M GOING TO DESTROY THE UNIVERSE HAHAHA" ultra dark bastardfuck.

 

[Dr Dave]

Indeed.

If he dosnt swing his chair all the way round at some point I'll be very disappointed.

 

[Colonel Kira's Left Tit]

Okay, so the casting is interesting but I'm still getting the impression that I'd rather shave my head with a cheese grater while chomping on aluminum foil rather than ever bother to pirate it. I'm still trying to get through the last few episodes of Discovery but I can only take them 5 minutes at a time.

Giamatti was great as "Smoking Bellboy" in My Best Friend's Wedding.

I hear he's done some other things since then.

A load of Discovery people and somehow explaining why the Doctor now looks 70 join the cast.

 

[Dr Dave]

I'm happy that Tig Notaro is in it.
