Ensign Mariner was in the house, but, sadly, no Brad Boimler. Well, at the museum at any rate. Yes, actress Tawny Newsome of Star Trek: Lower Decks fame picked up a writing credit (episode 5) on the upcoming streaming series, Starfleet Academy, and she expects the fans to be highly critical of the new show.

They [Trekkies] should rightfully dissect the show because, according to Newsome, "It is a Star Trek right of passage, and we know ya'll are going to do it." Despite the fact that she is absolutely correct, Newsome still feels Starfleet Academy "can’t miss." I hope she's right.
