I'll take it and it is a YAY from me. We knew Tilly was gonna be there. That was never in doubt as they set it up at one of the ongoing end scenes of Discovery. I think that she, apart from Burnham, could actually pull off being the orientation/welcome to Star Fleet - 1st years teacher role. It isn't like we really got to see a whole lot of what Tilly could be due to the fact that Burnham ate 80% of the dialogue on the show whether it be her speaking or other characters speaking about her.
Tig Notaro as Jett Reno is a HUGE addition for me. I would 100% watch the Reno/Stammets Power Hour if it were ever to be made. Reno was a highlight in the train wreck that was Discovery. Tig is perfect for the role of Reno.

Yeah, in terms of characters to continue they certainly could have done worse. But personally I'd rather lop Discovery off the Star Trek tree like a diseased limb and pretend it never happened. So ties to Discovery plus Kurtzman as co-showrunner are two huge strikes against it for me.

Odid was a nice break from the typical Starfleet Admiral. I don't know if you will understand what I mean, Lower Decks does a really good job of exaggerating it, but an air of massive overconfidence, bravado, and pomposity that they tend to speak with. They tended to come off as take charge but more often than not were actually dumb, incompetent, or just Badmirals (if you didn't know it... yes, that is a term). Like... anytime I saw an Admiral show up in any of the older Trek series I was always waiting to see what member of the crew they were gonna **** over that time.
Hell... that was a trope that not even the greatness of Picard S3 was able to pull off (Shelby).

No, I know what you mean. It's hard to think of an Admiral who wasn't a prick or up to some shit. Maybe Admiral Ross from DS9, but even he ended up being complicit with Section 31.

Looks like he could pull off 147 year old Archer on SNW. Star Trek 09 did establish he's still alive around that timeframe (in JJ-verse at least).
