After watching the trailers for Academy I generally liked what I saw, but Holly Hunter felt oddly reminiscent of Geneviève Bujold as Janeway. I even made a comment somewhere on here that was like “I need to be sold more on Holly Hunter”.

The marketing made her out to be a “barefoot bohemian who loves old books and records and lounges around the bridge” which honesyl did not appeal to me but I ended up absolutely loving it. She is somehow nailing being a Starfleet captain without falling back on any familiar tropes.

    Lol.
    People LOVE being on Trek.
    My jaw dropped as director David Cronenberg walked into frame as a federation official, Whoopie Goldberg gave years to Trek. This year’s villain has long lusted after a juicy role in Trek, Paul Giamatti, talked long on Stephen Colbert’s censored show about their DELIGHT at being on Trek.

    Colbert is also happily on Star Trek this year.

    Holly Hunter, Michelle Yeoh yeah, they lurve star trek, loff it. Very happy campers.
