The Doctor's presence in Star Trek: Starfleet Academy has been a major topic ever since his casting was first announced. While the series is primarily focused on highlighting the stories of the new cadets of the Academy in the 32nd century, it was only a matter of time before the EMH received a significant role in the story. I'm thrilled that it was not only a great storyline, but also a big callback to Voyager.
