Can't find it now, but in an interview I saw on YT today, Yashere and Notaro talked about Thok and Reno being a couple in SFA. Initially I though they were tongue in cheek, but no - it's true, and we get to see them at home in domestic bliss.....

Well, that's an interesting pairing which I look forward to seeing.
Yeah, I doubt it will be Wesley for that reason. We've seen him on three different shows in the modern era. I expect they're talking about someone not seen since BermaTrek.
That’s true, and I didn’t want to imply Martin-Green appearing on the show was a certainty, but there was also this TrekMovie article from a few weeks ago, which might make you see it as at least a little more likely …
Sonequa Martin-Green: ‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’ Takes Place In The ‘Discovery’ Era “On Purpose”
The 'Boston Blue' star said there's "a lot of opportunity" for 'Discovery' actors to make an appearance on the new series.

I agree that was the desire to do The Burn. To basically reset the Star Trek universe and move away from Roddenberry's utopia. KInd of funny though how you would think such a story would go is you would focus on characters who are more outlaws and cowboys. Academy and Discovery before it seems to be taking it in another direction. How the hippies tamed the west.
I am glad Reno then is going to have a big role in the show. She is one of the few things that worked in the first two episodes. I thought she might only be in a few of the episodes.

I am here for Hippie Star Trek. I feel like it could be just as valid as a take on the Utopia concept as was envisioned in the 1980s. I do admit that I find the "reconstruction of the Federation" to be really cool and very Archer.
I feel like if it's going to work they got to make the war college aspect of the show work to contrast it. If Starfleet Academy is going to be 1960's Berkeley then the War College has to be something like West Point or The Citadel.
If this is true it could turn out excellent, Thok's already got the potential to be one of the more entertaining characters in the series and this kind of thing could give her a sympathetic/softer edge which just makes the drill sargeant stuff land even better.
Agreed, they are positioning this to be an allegory, and they need to commit to it. Starfleet ends up "winning" and folding the War College into their structure, forming one united Star Fleet, much like the MACOs in Enterprise, however they get there is where the story lies. I feel like with Tamira in the War College, it's definitely going to have a lot of contrast. Caleb looked downright betrayed when he heard she went to the War College, I can't imagine they don't capitalize on that plot thread.
You know what I expect to maybe see in that episode that pays homage to DS9. I think we might see Sisko's house he wanted to build on Bajor. Something that has become something a holly site that Bajorans come and worship at and sort of go to to have a religious experience. Also I think we might see that Starfleet ship named after Captain Nog.
I'm all for this.
I wasn't expecting how happy this turn makes me.
Starfleet is a military organization, so I'm not sure why a drill sergeant would be distasteful?
Anyway, she was the absolute highlight of those first two episodes and I'm one who was very leery of her in the run-up to the debut. Also, she can only deliver the lines she is handed and she did a bang up job doing it.
i hope starfleet academy gets renewed
I largely don't care about their home lives. With only ten episodes I wish they'd focus on working on plots that are interesting, this stuff ends up feeling like a crutch.
Felt the same way about Miles and Keiko, I just didn't care. Not what I generally watch Star Trek for.
It'll presumably be a background thing; the focus is on the cadets, we'll probably just glimpse bits and pieces of the officers like we have so far.
i really hope it does. I'm liking it so far. And the haters have been so noisy about it, we really need a win.
This. Romance is the most boring element of the human adventure in media, Star Trek especially.
