Notaro and Picardo join as series regulars reprising their roles as Jett Reno and The Doctor, and Fehr and Wiseman join as guest stars reprising their roles as Admiral Vance and Sylvia Tilly.

I'm shocked that Notaro will be a series regular, and even more shocked that Wiseman will not.

@ValueSubtracted

I just got way more interested in the show. Notaro and Picardo are fantastic. Whatever they do, it'll be worth it to see those two.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Agreed, they are two of my favorite trek characters.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Same. I just commented on the other Academy post about Notaro being a regular and said "Sold!"

I always thought Academy was going to be a vehicle for Wiseman since they seemingly did a stealth pilot in DIS and wrote Tilly out for most of the season. So yeah, it's really surprising she's only going to be a guest. Maybe it'll be like when Michelle Yeoh was a guest but was almost a regular.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago

Yeah, without any evidence whatsoever it feels to me like some kind of plan was changed midstream.

Contract thing? Is it because Notaro was only a guest star on Discovery do the five year renegotiation rule doesn't apply?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Notaro likely didn't have a contract at all for Discovery, but I doubt that would have affected anything. I don't get the impression that Wiseman would be overly expensive, either - Notaro is still the bigger star.

Maybe Wiseman just didn't want to commit to a full season or something.
