Tilly is one of my favorites on the ship and Admiral Vance was fantastic, probably because he’s the first competent Admiral (that we didn’t previously see in the series). Reno is fine, but I like Tig Notaro, so I just head cannon it’s Tig always and it works.
They’re also adding Robert Picardo, hopefully as THE Doctor, which is another favorite of mine.
The far future isn’t my favorite timeline, I’d love to go back and pickup after 90s Trek. We got that a little with Picard, but that show also had some issues. But I want to explore, proper explore, that time more.
That said I’m hoping Academy works out.
(And if not I still have Strange New Worlds to enjoy.)
I like to believe Tig is an el-aurian or possibly even a highlander immortal and from community to army of the dead to disc she’s just bopping through time trying everything
It’s definitely The Doc. From showrunner Noga Landau:
“I don’t know if Bob knows this, but the Doctor, like, raised me. So I was worried… that I would come on [the video call to pitch his return] and scare him away. But then I realized that nothing scares Bob Picardo! I sent him the script and told him a little bit about the part he would have in the show for the first season. He’s going to do things we’ve never seen The Doctor do before — and The Doctor’s done a lot, think about it! — and he said ‘yes.’ I don’t think we had to twist his arm too hard, actually.”
As for the early 25th Century, there’s another show in development with Tawny Newsome concerning a resort planet. More of a workplace comedy and less exploration, though.

El-Aurian would be amazing!
Strange New Worlds has Pelia (technically a Lathanite but similar idea), so Academy can have Tig. Plus Tig Notaro is definitely a Star Trek name.
I fully believe Pelia is just Carole Kane not even acting just very slyly coming out of hiding
