• NO! Not Pelia, she has all the Federation esprit de corps of Jett Reno! Both should be living their best life somewhere far more eclectic.

• I agree that Pelai would be a great teacher at Starfleet Academy, not just of engineering but of history from her experience traveling incognito on Earth for centuries. I especially would like ot hear her stories of being the wife of a taxicab mechanic in New York City in the 1970s and 80s. 😏

• Holos of people who lived 1000 years ago would be fine for their fields with contemporary knowledge of the era with the insight of their time in service. Even the “Art of War” by Sun-Su has never been outdone.

• Being really good at a job is NOT to be the predominate prerequisite for being a high level teacher. Temperament, a decided lack of ego, consistency, good people skills as to read the students to know what they need in order to learn, as just the short list of being a good teacher, never mind a high level instructor at a premiere military academy.

  Stop kidding yourself, Starfleet is the UFP's Navy, their military fleet. Starfleet academy is a military college.

• Here is one that could possibly live that long: Earth History Teacher Guinan. I mean we saw her in the time of Mark Twain looking the same as in The Next Generation. As an El-Aurian she may not be exactly as long living as Pelia, but she lived through a lot of Earth's history.

• We don’t want to see a glitchy version of The Doctor, since it seems holographic technology is worse in the far future instead of better.

• Oh my God Enough with Worf and the prune Juice it's so Old.

• Trekkies have been resisting any suggestions that a literal space cadet version of Trek was wanted, or needed. Ever. Conversely, Paramount always had it in their back pocket because they wanted to braoden Trek's appeal with the really, really young kiddies. Gotta regrow your market, I guess. Most Trekkies I've known, or read, have always hated the idea of children around ANY time. We're going to get a cast full of acne-covered, self-centred immature brats best known to the teenies who read "Teen" Magazine, and slurp Red Bull whilst watching the Nicolodeon Channel. The producers will then have to find novel ways of bringing legacy Trek actors into ratings-generating 'guest' cameo appearances. The frontrunneers are: Holodeck, Time Travel, Matrix-like alternate realities. Borgafication sometime in the 24th or 25th Centuries, or Brent Spiner in one of those overused Sung androids.
  Will Weaton will rail on about how his Star Trek character was the most hated in the Franchise. I'm proud to say that I share this opinion. This is mature science ficture, with considerable, and growing respect amoungst the serious literati (Margaret Atwood leaps to mind) of the cultural and literary value of the series of series. This 'Starfleet Academy' that I will completely boycott. I urge all of you to do the same. It sullies the spirit of the Great Bird of the Galaxy.

• Wow, didn't realize how jarring an American accent would be on this channel

• the presido

• Data would be a fun teacher

• Thumbs down just for that pride agenda crap. Stop putting politics in entertainment.

• I would swap out ANY engineer for Torres. Charles Tucker, Reno, and most certainly Scotty! Captain Sulu would be a superb instructor, as would JAG Capt. Phillipa Louvois for UCMJ studies.

• 10:53 Yes, more Boilmer and Mariner in live action would be great. Especially since the animation show is ending. ❤❤❤

• Guinan

• fun thought experiment but, due to demonstrated reluctance for paying royalties for previously created characters (why Nick Locarno became Tom Paris) it seems more likely they will NOT go to the well of past Trek characters for ongoing roles. guest roles, sure. ongoing roles are unlikely unless it's a main role, ie Picard.

• I wanted Nog, barclay, dr mbanga to teach self defense, tpol, and worf.

• Brie, hope ya get past the allergy problems soon, gorgeous.

• First, in the Pelia segment it should be the FIRST time Spock hijacked the Enterprise. But you forgot about support staff. How about Neelix running the mess hall, and putting Quark in charge of the student union?

• What about Data?

• "Number 6, the crew of the Discovery. We had to word it that way because nobody knows ANY of their names."

• Positronic studies with Prof. Data. He could also teach an evening class in feline care.

• "Cadets" rather than "Midshipmen?"

• the doc is a possibility..his copy is active in 30-32 century..the one who was revived in the delta quadrant…

• I think James T. Kirk would excel more as an instructor on Strategy and Tactics.
  Given his preference for talk, Jean-Luc can take Interspecies Relationships.

• Garth of Izar. With his powers he's effectively immortal. Now that he's sane again, he could teach courses in Strategic Thinking, Tactics, Diplomacy and Dealing with Trauma.

• "Kirk is an expert on interspecies relations"
  Lesson 1: Where do you stick your penis?

• Here is a fundamental problem with setting Academy in the 32nd century you have to come up with convoluted and frankly unconvincing reasons for these characters to be there. Not to mention almost none of these characters would be qualified to teach, their knowledge would be 1,000 years out of date. Setting Academy post Picard era eliminates all those problems. However setting Academy in 32nd century benefits Kurtzman as to his ownership of what is created so good storytelling is not important

• Please christ no, no disco spin off please.

• ANYONE BUT TILLY!

• You know who shouldn't be there? Tilly. She is too emotional and unprofessional.

• You know, it was originally a seven year mission… I sort of believe that space work is tough and that after the 'mission,' Star Fleet officers need to have some time on their home worlds to retrace themselves, work on their theories, research, recouperate, and perhaps those qualified should be given Academic Fleet Sabbatical. In STO the idea of emergency holographic automation seems to follow suit with like that which we know from the Dr. and VOY. If in battle, the crew should be compromised, or for some other reason, the holograms relative to the mega computer on every starship, should avail themselves to mission fidelity until the crew is capable. I think in places in the galaxy, like say the Dyson Sphere, or some very remote place other than that, that yeah, holo-education is really practical. In SFC it seems almost like a template for the assailability of holograms relative to interstellar endeavors. I'm a firm believer in the seven year mission concept, and larger more deep space capable star ships might find themselves simply docked at seven year intervals and perhaps intentional chronologies for mission intent might find itself in a seven-base chronological scheduling.

• Cadet:Will this be on the test Professor Pike?
  Pike Hologram: Beep beep. Beep Beep beep Beep!

• The Dax symbiote, if still alive, would be too old and large for joining, it'd be in the pools breeding. Or just as likely is that they died in The Burn given their love of Starfleet.

• Regular Professors: ✅
  Guest Lecturers: ⏭️Next, please ☺️

• I want more non humanoids, that is something I want in all star trek. Maybe the humpback whales from a voyage some or one of their descendants, teaching metallurgy. Also non humanoid students.

• Theres 2 versions of the Doctor EMH out there

• Hear me out here… Professor Q.

• Holograms, holograms, holograms. Who needs people?

• haha 2:33 the best timestamp on the internet.

• Boothby was Section 31, grooming cadets into assets. He was in plain sight and nobody thought to catch on.

• "a BEER?!"

  I guarantee you, O'Brien drinks "whiskey on-the-rocks". That or 150-proof black-spiced rum.
