News Starfleet Academy Coming to P+

The Doctor won't give himself a name until holos have rights. As of Starfleet Academy he still won't have a name.

Cadet: You're still teaching after 900 years?

Doctor: Those admirals won't let me--

Admiral Vance: :mad:

Doctor: I mean, Starfleet and the Federation have been so WONDERFUL to me and if I could do this forever I would!

We'll have a plot twist where the villain is actually a hero attacking Starfleet Academy trying to free the Doctor from his centuries long enslavement.

I hope he at least gets a name here. It was bad enough he didn't decide on a permanent one in the 7 years of VOYAGER.
the doctor's back up also didn't end up with a name after living the kyrians and vaskans for who knows how long. So seems to be a doctor thing. Maybe he considers not having a name part of his identity. It's also possible that he has been deactivated since the late 24th - early 25th centuries and hadn't come up with one by the time he went offline.

Personally I hope he settles on Zimmerman to honour his creator.

mild spoilers from Picardo interviews
Considering Bob Picardo talks about how he had to imagine what it would be like to be a continuously activated 900 year old AI watching 36 generations of friends age and die (including Janeway who he specifically mentions as an example) with computer-perfect recall to prepare for the Academy role, I think it's HIGHLY unlikely that the Doctor was deactivated for any extended amount of time.
 
A 900 year old Doctor with no name, so they've basically turned Voyager's Doctor into Dr. Who

Not really. They share a name and they are old. That’s literally it.

"EULOGY" was fantastic. Loved each episode of BLACK MIRROR this season. My favorites are "COMMON PEOPLE", "PLAYTHING", "EULOGY", and "USS CALLISTER: INTO INFINITY".

Eulogy was really sweet.

Common People was good but fucking nasty. That really hit hard. What a situation to be in.

Best for me this season was Plaything. Peter Capaldi is uniformly brilliant.
