"As they continue their training to join the Starfleet Academy, Dal, Rock Tak, Zero, Jankom Pog and Murf are called aboard a new ship for a mission under the command of Janeway." - Cygnus-X1.Net

 
I seen it. 6am NZT and it's on Netflix. Bob Beltran has top billing now above Kate Mulgrew.
 
It's also on Netflix in Germany as of a few hours ago, I saw Jörg Hillebrand tweeting about it.
 
I skipped right to the two part season finales of Star Trek: Prodigy’s third and fourth seasons like the fucking weirdo that I am. I won’t spoil anything. Especially since dropping 20 episodes at once makes the issue of avoiding spoilers even worse.

All that I’ll say is that The Hageman Brothers have stuck the landing and created something wonderful and ambitious and heartfelt and special. This show doesn’t get the attention and love that it deserves like Strange New Worlds and Lower Decks rightly do. But like Deep Space Nine and Angel and The Clone Wars, it will find its audience someday. And people are gonna love the fuck out of it then.

Thank you to Paramount for finishing these 20 episodes despite cancelling it and giving the originally planned story its full 40 episodes and closure. And even if this doesn’t result in a Lucifer/Cobra Kai situation where it becomes a post-cancellation hit that spawns multiple additional seasons, thank you to Netflix for giving it a home.

The Hageman Brothers set out to create the Star Trek equivalent of The Clone Wars and Rebels. An animated series that will bring in new generations of children into the fandom while still appealing to adults. A series that plays with the lore and ties the lore of other projects together while still blazing its own unique lore and path forward. A series that introduces great new characters, brings back beloved favorites and gives older characters that were poorly served by the originals a chance to shine themselves and become beloved fan favorites in their own right.

Even as someone that likes The Clone Wars and Rebels, The Hageman Brothers have more than fulfilled their ambitions. Not only is this a far better show than Filoni’s series. This might be one of the best animated shows to come along in a while.

This thing is gonna be fucking huge someday. And it’s gonna be making Trekkies for decades to come.
 
Not a biggest fan of the new Voyager. Just looks like a less detailed and bulkier Sovereign.
I would have just used the Pathfinder model. A and B can be the same class.
Yeah it's all very Sovereign-class, and the bridge is bland metallic scifi, but the story is excellent so far.
 
Episode threads have already confused my poor little mind just five episodes in. ;)

So far so good. :bolian:

It's fun to see the Doctor again, I was pleased to hear about his inclusion in the cast with Chakotay.

I enjoyed catching up with the characters. Jenkem Pog trying to be polite is creasing me up so much. :guffaw:

Decent start. Sets up the season and reintroduces us to the characters. I really liked the conversation between Dal and Gwyn. I've missed this cast.

I was a little surprised they didn't do more with the title sequence, as the Protostar isn't really around anymore.

I was surprised we got a reference to "The Trouble With Edward" when Rok is first shown.

I was hoping they would forget about all that to be honest. Never made any sense that story
 
Finally I can post openly about all these episodes!

Nova squad is back, maybe replacing Red squad after that one replaced Nova :D

That's such a cool pin =D

I did not know Borg was short for cyborg. That’s new
Sweedish Cyborgs ^_-

I like how the Cadet Uniforms look like Jump-Suits mixed with clasic "Sailor Uniforms" with alot of burgandy.

I love how the PADD's / Tablets have built in Kick-Stands for Landscape mode once you pull it apart, that seems like a nice feature to have built into your tablet.

Damn that was fun! I hadn't realized how much I missed this show until I heard the theme. Jankom trying to be polite was hysterical! I loved the "come join me" messages on their PADDs and the kids' reactions. I got the feeling that "Didn't you read 'Temporal Mechanics 101'?" will be an in-joke for awhile. :hugegrin:
