Not sure I’m entirely comfortable with SFA as the acronym for Starfleet Academy.

Oh? Is there something I'm not thinking of?

 

This is a new promotional site for SFA - it looks like they've put a fair bit of work into it.

There may be updates following the NYCC panel later today.

...not all low-income people are homeless?

I don't think I'd call it a "catch".

Carney said that Canadians who fail to file a return when they earn under the basic personal amount means Canadians “who most need benefits often don’t get them.”

Those benefits include the GST/HST tax credit, the Canada child benefit, the Canada workers benefit, the Canadian disability benefit and the disability tax credit.

*for low-income citizens who earn less than the basic personal amount

I think it's a decent evolution of the ENT aesthetic - the warp delta in particular - at a smaller scale.

Not exactly awe-inspiring, but as a glorified commercial transport...

They probably won't, especially considering that the first version of the pitch has already been rejected.

But...the reason for that rejection has been addressed, and this seems like this show would have a unique identity, which has been a priority.

And frankly, this seems like a more interesting concept to me than any of the other not-quite-pitches that have come from creators over the last few years.

See if you can do it without whinging about moderation.

Far too rich for my blood, but their SNW boot pretty eye-catching.

There's really any number of benign possibilities. It's just...odd.

I haven't seen "The Residence", but I think I heard it was decent.

It was never officially stated as such, but...it seems pretty obvious?

It really seems like something happened/changed along the way.

 

I consulted an expert: Matt Mitovich, a respected veteran TV industry and entertainment reporter, known for breaking news....The answer came in the most recent edition [of his column]:

“You can rest assured that Wiseman will appear on Starfleet Academy, as a guest star in one episode.”

Of all the cast, it seems like he would have the most reason to be there as a guest instructor - he's an expert in a field that no one else gives a damn about.

I guess the biggest knock against it in-universe is that Starfleet's first responders still need him to Make Them Go.

Professor Stamets would be a sight to behold, second only to Professor Rayner.
