That's explicitly part of Vance's pitch to Ake, so no doubt that was part of his thought process while staffing the Academy.

Anyway, Episode 5 was both delightful and destroying. Considering my fits of giggling over the opening, and then to be weeping at the end? Bravo Starfleet Academy, I'm now officially sold.

Yup, same here. Really touched the heartstrings. I kept expecting the man himself to appear, but that he doesn't is kind of the point.

I really like SAM. Great episode.

I really like SAM. Great episode.

I really liked the episode and that again it was relatively low stakes (Well not for SAM - but nothing earth/universe/federation shattering).

Considering how they are portraying her makers, I'm REALLY wondering if the writers ae going to go the same route the Orville went!
