StarfleetAcademy ‘will be funny’ according to Alex Kurtzman.

He’s also confirmed at the NYCC panel today that the writer’s room is back at work after the WGA strike.

Given the heavier #thriller background (Absentia) of one showrunner Gaia Violo, and youth supernatural CV (TheMagicians; NancyDrew) of Noga Landau the other, sounds as though Tawny Newsome is there to bring some lightness and fun.

I’m really looking forward to seeing more in the 32nd century StarTrek.

I’m also pleading 🙏 let David Cronenberg’s Kovich be involved.

I would love so much to have some of The Magicians mysterious vibe with so true humour mixed in. Glad to know that they’re going for something less earnest than the tone of Discovery for this show, it didn’t seem to be working in the Discovery episode with Tilly and the cadets.

SNW has light moments but they are only there to hide how extremely dark it can be. That show goes DEEP into a lot of dark topics and only adds in the joke episodes so it’s not constantly depressing.

It reminds me of DS9 in that sense. SNW season two seemed to alternate between really dark episodes and really light episodes.

If you’re a long time Trek fan, definitely check out SNW. It is the best of all the new stuff for old-school fans. By a long shot.
