My excitement at having Paul Giamatti in Trek is significantly tempered by the idea that he’s going to be the season villain for “Starfleet Academy”. Unless he’s going to be the hard ass dean of the Academy that doesn’t want to put up Tilly’s students putting Orion pheromones in the environmental system, and kidnapping the Klingon Military Academy’s targ mascot before the big game, I’m not interested in a villain.
I’m 100% here for your vision of the Academy series.
Not impossible. Freeman was effectively the villain for S1 of Lower Decks, despite clearly being one of the good guys.
And Prodigy demonstrates how a personal vendetta can net some kids a nemesis, despite largely minding their own business.
I was fully expecting a villain (possibly because every press release has referred to a threat), but I hope it's a unique flavour of villain.
It sounds like he's going to play one of the kids' dad or something - given the 32nd century status quo, a more political antagonist could be fun.
Maybe a Terra Prime type or New Essentialist type?
I hope not but it feels like sci-fi hogwarts
