And we’re all waiting.
Not so patiently.

The most simple acronym would be SA. It’s unfortunately the acronym for so many different things that it wouldn’t have a difficult time establishing an identity with and for the who.
If the VOY, ENT and DIS precedent were followed, some have proposed ACA since STA for Star could fit any of the shows. (I have seen ACA in the wild on other social media.)
The quibble with SFA is that Starfleet is one word not two and it’s unprecedented to go with the first letter in a syllable to get the designation.
For what it’s worth, SA seems to be what Memory Alpha has landed on. It’s designating article stubs for the show as ‘SA Performers’ etc.
Not sure I’m entirely comfortable with SFA as the acronym for Starfleet Academy.
But all the alternatives I have seen would be worse.
I’m tempted and conflicted, all at once.
Nice to see TAS original characters getting some profile though.
I’m finding Sussman is doing a better job of tempting fans:
Once again, as Sussman noted in his recent TrekMovie podcast interview, “this is not a real television show,” which he also made clear to Andy Probert. Even so, the idea remains intriguing enough for the veteran designer to keep sketching — and for Sussman to remain hopeful that the new Skydance team at Paramount will want to revisit Star Trek: United. “I think Scott said it best at the [Las Vegas] convention, right?” he noted. “Who knows what will happen?”
She was one of the ensemble in The Residence and it worked well for he.
That show had to reshoot the episodes that had been done before the WGA strike because the second on the call sheet unfortunately died during the strike. Not sure if that impacted Wiseman’s availability.
But in terms of her role in Starfleet Academy, it’s clear that the backdoor pilot in season four was viewed as a largely a failure.
The show had been in development hell for some time, but the lead creators changed once again after that episode and it’s writers were dropped from the project.
Neither Wiseman nor Blu del Barrio were strong enough to carry or be compelling in a weak pilot. It looks like they bore some of the weight of senior executive disapprobation.
Great Canadian brand.
I’ve been drooling over Fluevogs in shop windows since I was barely a teenager.
Adding Trek into it just makes the temptation all the greater.
I think I like the Dauntless model better than then onscreen version.
That Voyager-A is interesting.
While many older fans are disappointed that Starfleet Academy is set in the far future 32nd century, I am hopeful that it’s focus on original characters, will be a strength.
Having a few recurring Discovery characters around, and Robert Picardo as The Doctor, doesn’t negate that it’s fundamentally about new characters and not legacy ones or their immediate family.
Like the apparent ‘no technobabble’ edict from on high, with so many ‘kids of’ and ‘sibling of’ characters in the new era, I have to wonder if the IP holder had laid down some kind of structure forcing the creators to tie new main characters to legacy ones.
I am wondering if Pelia was created as much to give Holly Hunter’s character a legacy tie and check the required box for linkage to another character as much as she was to provide a vehicle for Carol Kane.
I think we share a view on Scouts.
I think you missed the point on this though - it’s not a show for or with children.
It’s another go at selling an younger ensemble based on they’re being the offspring of a legacy character.
The article says Archer’s four adult children would be in their twenties and thirties. They would be in different roles and services.
I didn’t like the nepobaby, ‘children of’, angle in Picard and I didn’t really like Archer, so I can’t imagine why they would think this would be the way to draw in an audience.
