28:00 the writers actually knowing what the Federation is and not assuming it's a different name for Starfleet makes me happy. So Trek many writers just interchange the words at random and it's annoying.
I find that refreshing as well. It’s nice to know that they know the Federation is the union to which Starfleet is its representative fleet with exploratory, scientific, peacekeeping, humanitarian, and diplomatic duties as their primary focus.
The writers and producers of Trek animated series in general do seem to know their Trek better than the live action ones... the animated series thus far have been able to keep note of the little details. And while the occasional error did show up... those were minor if you ask me. That's basically how live action is supposed to be as well.
The only reference of the Federation and Starfleet being interchangeable was in Star Trek (2009) when Pike meets Kirk at the bar. Please point out in Discovery or Picard where the two terms were interchangeable, because I don't recall it ever happening.
@@retromillenium okay just off the top of my head, how about in Season 2 of Discovery when Reno(a veteran Starfleet officer) looks at the Starfleet delta and says "I recognized your Federation logo" or in Lower Decks season 2 when a Vulcan ship and a Starfleet ship are fighting Klingons who then point to the Starfleet ship and say "target the Federation ship" when both are Federation ships. PIC was actually very good at never interchanging the words.
@@stankyyboi Those are good catches. I missed those. However, why is this a problem? It's pretty obvious from countless hours of other Star Trek shows and movies that this is an organization, a para-military one, that is part of a much larger organization. It's actually quite realistic. Not everyone is going to view Starfleet and the Federation in the same way, not even some of the Federation's own citizen. Perhaps Jet Reno identifies that Starfleet symbol as one and the same as the Federation. This point of view, that the Federation and Starfleet being one and the same, would hold even more true from an outside perspective. Some Klingons might view Starfleet as one and the same as the Federation considering most encounters with the Federation will be in the form of a Starfleet ship. To say the writers don't understand the difference between the two sounds like a straw man. It seems people are trying to grasp at any straw to denigrate the writing team, and to make it look like they know absolutely nothing about the Star Trek universe. It really does seem like grasping at straws for a cheap shot. I've seen all of the aforementioned shows, and found them quite thoughtful regarding the nuances of established Star Trek canon and history.
Ah so we WILL have Klingons. How about Borg I wonder… it is the delta quadrant after all. Also, The image of Kate and Robert getting wasted talking about Star Trek until 3am with pizza brings me no small amount of joy.
That Clip where Hologram Janeway explains the Federation and Starfleet with Vulcans, Tellarites, Humans and Andorians in the background made me so so so so happy!
Wil mentioned I.D.I.C. in this episode. It's something that, sadly a lot of STAR TREK fans today don't understand, know or practice. I'd encourage you to look it up as it is the TRUE fundamental ethos behind what STAR TREK is - your younger generations have the opportunity to influence not only STAR TREK but the ENTIRE world! Live long and prosper.
@Super Blubberpuss For me, new Treks aren’t so bad, sure they’re aren’t as good as the old ones but nice to see the Star Trek universe expand. The only thing I can’t forgive is the Klingon redesign. The rest is alright. Lower Decks is the best new Trek, of course. I hope Prodigy can do the same.

I hope you can keep this up, as ST:Pr will be a great addition to the franchise based on these first episodes.
After just finishing season two of prodigy, I had to come back to this. Will is absolutely wonderful. This show is just so good. It's so well written and so satisfying to see Wesley get this wonderful new ark. Please keep it up. Let's go for season three! Aside from strange new worlds, this is the best new Star Trek series of this generation.
I've been trying to get my daughter into start trek. She is a little interested but nothing has really hooked her. We watched the first two episodes last night and she said it was perfect!!!!! She has never called any show perfect before. I'm so excited to share this with her!!!!!
28:36 you can see the Discovery. Actually, that's a mistake. It was said that everything about the Discovery and the Glenn must be deleted. The project was a secret. Well, maybe the Protostar itself is a secret project, but that doesn't mean that data about Discovery is saved there.
Not mistake. Discovery is like red KITT(KIFT or KI4000) from Knight Rider 2000. Dodge Stealth(originaly japanese Mitsubishi) with Pontiac Banshee design. The Discovery ship design are came from 70's to new look of USS Enterprise NCC-1701.

One thing I loved about this new show, is that for once the Humans are not the heroes. I sincerely hoped that future Star Trek series, Aliens should the be heroes of the show.
I figured I'd probably mildly enjoy the show, but that pilot blew away my expectations. While aimed at a younger audience, there is no pandering or dumbing down of the writing. There won't be Lower Deck jokes, but it's otherwise creatively appealing to a viewer of any age. Also, I want to be in the universe where I get to have whiskey with Picardo and Kate Mulgrew.
Well, this looks to be a true Star Trek adventure with all the fun and spirit of Star Trek that I sadly feel much of Star Trek has been missing. The visual world they have created is gorgeous. I think Prodigy has elements that both kids and adults can enjoy. I think this series has much promise.
Sorry, this isn't about the video at hand. This is the only video of The Ready Room that's available for me to see, is it because I'm in Europe? And also about the 4k version of TMP, does anyone know if it'll have the deleted scenes that were in the T.V. version? LLAP P.S. When's Prodigy going to finish its first season. Out of all the post 2009 Star Trek, Prodigy is the one I'm most enthusiastic about.
Kate Mulgrew is eloquent and mesmerising as always! I watched the first episode purely for Janeway, expecting it to be a "kids show" but it was surprisingly enjoyable and engaging. I was invested in the characters and the mystery set up, and of course the appearance of Janeway got me more excited! The animation was top-notch and the score was recognisably Giacchino with nods to classic trek and Voyager. Looking forward to introducing the show to my 6yo nephew! 😃
Thanks, Wil! Thanks, Kevin! Thanks, Dan! Thanks to *all* the cast and crew of STAR TREK: PRODIGY... especially *Kate* *Mulgrew* (who is always a win in my book)!!!
i honestly cannot wait until Wil is on a new trek show. he's going to be so excited, and it's going to be the most joyful thing any of us has ever seen on ready room
3:08 It's interesting that they bring up the Klingons. Chances are that we'll see them in hologram form but I feel that this tidbit stands out because of what was established in the Voyager episode 'Prophecy'. Just a thought. PS given that this is set in the Delta Quadrant I'm really hoping to see The Borg eventually.
ST Prodigy was amazing! It was an enjoyable one hour -a very engaging story. The animation was incredible. The characters are so interesting. I cannot wait to see what comes next. I hope that some of the past ST shows such as DS 9 or Enterprise can continue in an animated series. One aspect that I really appreciate is that the writers and producers do not talk down to a young auidence. They have crafted a story that will engage thier minds.
Agreed. It seems that those who have created the two new animated series are doing a better job at bringing Star Trek stories that bring out the best of what Star Trek is about. It gives me hope that Strange New Worlds will truly bring us great Trek stories. NOW, the powers that be at the studio level need to rescind their prohibitions on fan produced Trek stories and embrace and encourage that as Disney has done with Star Wars fan films. Let the Axinar people get back on track to produce their Klingon Wars film and allow the people who did STOS Continuing Missions create new shows too.
As a 60 + year old kid I loved this show! What is also nice is now that Paramount + is here in Australia we can actually watch The Ready Room, loved it as well.
Capt Janeway was one of my favorite characters growing up, and watching Kate Mulgrew's career since then has made me adore her more and more with every new thing she creates or is a part of! Kate is a fantastic human being - her kindness and bright shinning soul is an inspiration to us all!
Thanks for the vid Wil, always a pleasure. Let's start this off by addressing the FREQUENT "criticism " with this series. YES this series seems very much in the veign of Clone Wars, Rebrls, Resistance and Bad Batch. But THAT'S NOT AN ISSUE. Particularly given how popular those shows were 1 popular and 2 (as the Showrunners have said) grew the fanbase. Ok that's out of the way now to the positives. Ok so we have A LOT of Alpha quadrant species at that labor and prison camp. I saw Alurian, Catian in conjunction with Tellarite and Medusan. Which we'll talk about that later. They teased a fair amount of how things are going to happen and I'm along for the ride. The pacing was quick but because of how much is being set up, it's completely understandable. From the tease we got about the Diviner allowing the kidnapping of species from across multiple quadrants (orphans and prisoners) is a REAL fascinating concept, especially since we don't know what species Dal is. All in all, I enjoyed it and look forward to seeing how things play out. Also Jason Manzoukus(Adrian Pimento in 99, Derek in The Good Place)was born to play a Tellarite.
Well, I think the first episode was a bit action-heavy, but it certainly shows a lot of potential for a genuinely great and engaging Star Trek show. One that can be cerebral and emotional and interesting with Del’s discovery of who and what he is, Zero being such an amazingly advanced being walking among ‘lesser’ beings, and the idea of these people who know nothing about the galaxy discovering it. It makes me excited for the rest of the series, even if I think the first episode was just an action based Hook.
I'm 20 min into ep 1 - sadly I must continue tomorrow (too 🥱 sleepy). But I *had* to come on here to say that this show is the best looking all-CGI show I have seen to date!🤯 _These visuals are stunning!_ I realize it's aimed at kids, but I'm really hoping that there's something for adults as well,¹ because as I said, _this looks incredible!_ IMO it looks even better than the final season of _The Clone Wars_ 🤫 (and that raised the bar pretty high). Admittedly, there's a distinctly different art style, so I'm not trying to make a direct one-to-one comparison. The *Prodigy* production team has impressed me with what can now be done. I hope they will be able to do more shows.² The wonderfully fluid animation. The fantastic art design. Their use of color and the stunning levels of detail. But above all (for me), the stunning cinematic shots, which are somehow imbued with a delightfully real-world or three-dimensional feel. *EDIT:* Forgot to mention. . .I will be back to watch this ep of _The Ready Room_ as well. *More! More! **_More!_* ··•🖖•·· ¹ ─ Again, only 20 minutes in, but I have yet to see anything that leads me to believe they'll be talking _down_ to the audience. 😎👍 ² ─ OMG, what I wouldn't give for a classic _STAR TREK_ era show (sans any overly comical exaggerated features) done by these folks! 🥰
The first episode was awesome! I loved it! It's definitely boldly going where no Star Trek series has gone before! I'm so glad they're exploring other areas of the Star Trek universe besides being about another Starfleet crew and extending the universe even more. I'm so happy there are finally more animated Star Trek while I still love all the live action Star Treks as much! I can't wait to introduce my nieces to it! And I'm really happy to see Star Trek: Voyager's Captain Kathryn Janeway back in this series. Yay! I hope the real one will appear in the series at some point. I like that they bring us back to the Delta Quadrant on the other side of our galaxy where Star Trek: Voyager left off in its finale over 20 years ago, right before USS Voyager and her crew made it home back to the Alpha Quadrant to Federation space and Earth. And I'm loving the USS Protostar she almost looks like Voyager but smaller and I have to say she has the coolest looking bridge. Lol. I can't wait for the next episode and hearing more of Kate Mulgrew's voice of Captain Janeway! 😊🖖❤
We don't know how long that ship has been there. Plus, in Discovery and Lower Decks they have had two different uniforms used depending on what ship you are stationed on .
I have no idea how far in the ‘trek future’ it is, but it’s interesting to see well in advance of voyager’s “so why didn’t we tell anyone about ablative generators” technology.
You won me over when you threw in a Caitian, a Tellerite, and a Medusan. We've not seen any of those properly developed, and I'm looking forward to learning all about them. (Just be sure to coordinate with Dr. T'ana over at Lower Decks.) Please give us holo-Doctor, holo-Jadzia, and while we still can, holo-Kirk.
Mulgrew as hologram and admiral is great to see, but the voice for the villian,... Divine casting !! (No, I'm not going to spoil it for anyone who hasn't watched yet.) Prodigy is a great show, close to the best of what's currently in production, maybe second only to Brave New Worlds.
I really appreciate the quality of animation. Nicely detailed, 3D looking characters are so rare in current day serialized animation. All of the animated series that I like kind of look the same - Futurama, Lower Deck, Final Space, Disenchantment, Steven Universe - you could lift a character from one, insert into another, and the style wouldn't even clash. The only exception I've seen is Trollhunters: Tales of Arcadia, and I immediately thought about it after seeing the trailer for Prodigy, so I'm not surprised to find out the same guys have worked on both.
They have several child versions of previous characters to work with including Borg and even Q! A more "mature" version of Q's son Q would be a good lesson teacher as Q taught Picard and crew in ST:TNG.
I'm truly excited for this series. I've been a trekkie since the reruns of TOS. Didn't fully get into it till TNG and fell in love with Voyager. Can't wait to see how this show goes
I just finished the first two episodes and, even being an adult, I thought it was super cool. I'm definitely going to borrow my niece and nephew (5 and 6, respectively) so we can sit down and watch Prodigy. ❤️
This was a really good Ready Room & I'm excited for this new ST series even though I'm not a kid. I think it's safe to say that we're all benefactors of Roddenberry's ST vision.
For what it's worth, if not for Gene Roddenberry and Star Trek, I'd probably be a bigot today. Thank God my mother parked me in front of the right show.
Love Prodigy. It has a lot of potential, and I think it'll be an amazing addition to the Star Trek universe. Look at the preview for next week's episode, I got goosebumps looking at Spock representing the Vulcans, and seeing all of the hero ships from previous incarnations of Star Trek (including the shuttlecraft) being displayed. Prodigy is definitely going to boldly go where no one has gone before!
It really has that good old Trek feel, can’t wait to see how all this plays out. It may be a rumor, but I think Commander Chakotay will make an appearance as well. I hope it’s true.
Personally, with Discovery introducing us to the 32nd century, id love to see a new Star Trek series set there with a Romulan captain exploring a neighboring galaxy
This is good stuff. I think the 'comedy' aspect of any cartoon is a bridge between young & old. Therefore it can appeal to all age groups. Note: I believe marketing & promotion should be improved across the industry and something like this is no exception. I hope the series takes off!!
Officially, there was a USS Discovery and it was destroyed in a warp core accident, all hands were lost. Lol this actually is the official story if you go back to the season 2 finale and listen to the interrogation of the Enterprise crew.
@@ChristopherG1990 Thanks for your reply and please don't take my response as provoking an argument as I'm well aware of the events of Discovery Season 2 finale. Given the aftermath of the battle of Xahea do you feel the USS Discovery is referenced frequently at the academy or by historians and held in the same esteem as the Enterprise D, Defiant and Voyager? The Enterprise C is a hero ship I would think the battle at Narendra III would celebrated within Starfleet and the Klingon Empire. We all know what USS Discovery really did but to everyone not in the "know" what did they really do? 🤔
@@good_teanice_house6789 if it is mentioned in the Academy history books then it’s probably a bold face lie. They lie about the Lantaru sector, telling people that the rift is a natural phenomenon when really it’s where they experimented with the Omega molecule.

Sorry, this isn't about the video at hand. This is the only video of The Ready Room that's available for me to see, is it because I'm in Europe? And also about the 4k version of TMP, does anyone know if it'll have the deleted scenes that were in the T.V. version? LLAP
P.S. When's Prodigy going to finish its first season. Out of all the post 2009 Star Trek, Prodigy is the one I'm most enthusiastic about.

BRAVO Will for evolving to ST's BEST AMBASSADOR.
LOVE Kate and Robert as well.
NEW series looks promising.
Apparently the Internet sound has not progressed much since Voyager 🤔🤔
Kate Mulgrew is eloquent and mesmerising as always! I watched the first episode purely for Janeway, expecting it to be a "kids show" but it was surprisingly enjoyable and engaging. I was invested in the characters and the mystery set up, and of course the appearance of Janeway got me more excited! The animation was top-notch and the score was recognisably Giacchino with nods to classic trek and Voyager. Looking forward to introducing the show to my 6yo nephew! 😃
Thanks, Wil! Thanks, Kevin! Thanks, Dan! Thanks to *all* the cast and crew of STAR TREK: PRODIGY... especially *Kate* *Mulgrew* (who is always a win in my book)!!!
Wil, you always do such a good job! Thanks!
i honestly cannot wait until Wil is on a new trek show. he's going to be so excited, and it's going to be the most joyful thing any of us has ever seen on ready room
Hologram Janeway 🔥🔥🔥
3:08 It's interesting that they bring up the Klingons. Chances are that we'll see them in hologram form but I feel that this tidbit stands out because of what was established in the Voyager episode 'Prophecy'. Just a thought.
PS given that this is set in the Delta Quadrant I'm really hoping to see The Borg eventually.
Why are past episodes of Ready Room unavailable?
we want to see captain wesley crusher
Captain Virtue Signal
Maybe not as a Star Fleet person but as a Traveler, with his experiences thru time and dimensions.
Define “we.” Because I can certainly do without it.
One of my favorite interviews with Kate Mulgrew. I am absolutely loving Prodigy!
I absolutely loved the premiere. Really interested to see where the season goes.
Lovely words from Kate Mulgrew !! Looking forward to this show !! Wil wheaton amazing as always !!!
one of the best parts is that the show did not feel like it was talking down to kids keep that up and this will be a solid hit
ST Prodigy was amazing! It was an enjoyable one hour -a very engaging story. The animation was incredible. The characters are so interesting. I cannot wait to see what comes next. I hope that some of the past ST shows such as DS 9 or Enterprise can continue in an animated series. One aspect that I really appreciate is that the writers and producers do not talk down to a young auidence. They have crafted a story that will engage thier minds.
Agreed. It seems that those who have created the two new animated series are doing a better job at bringing Star Trek stories that bring out the best of what Star Trek is about. It gives me hope that Strange New Worlds will truly bring us great Trek stories. NOW, the powers that be at the studio level need to rescind their prohibitions on fan produced Trek stories and embrace and encourage that as Disney has done with Star Wars fan films. Let the Axinar people get back on track to produce their Klingon Wars film and allow the people who did STOS Continuing Missions create new shows too.
As a 60 + year old kid I loved this show! What is also nice is now that Paramount + is here in Australia we can actually watch The Ready Room, loved it as well.
That was an excellent premiere! 🤩😍🥳👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🙌🏼💪🏼🙏🏼😍🎉🙏🏼. Thanks for this , Wil!
Voyager rules! This show will be awesome!! I hope🤞🖖
So far so good btw👍👍
Capt Janeway was one of my favorite characters growing up, and watching Kate Mulgrew's career since then has made me adore her more and more with every new thing she creates or is a part of! Kate is a fantastic human being - her kindness and bright shinning soul is an inspiration to us all!
Thanks for the vid Wil, always a pleasure. Let's start this off by addressing the FREQUENT "criticism " with this series. YES this series seems very much in the veign of Clone Wars, Rebrls, Resistance and Bad Batch. But THAT'S NOT AN ISSUE. Particularly given how popular those shows were 1 popular and 2 (as the Showrunners have said) grew the fanbase. Ok that's out of the way now to the positives. Ok so we have A LOT of Alpha quadrant species at that labor and prison camp. I saw Alurian, Catian in conjunction with Tellarite and Medusan. Which we'll talk about that later. They teased a fair amount of how things are going to happen and I'm along for the ride. The pacing was quick but because of how much is being set up, it's completely understandable. From the tease we got about the Diviner allowing the kidnapping of species from across multiple quadrants (orphans and prisoners) is a REAL fascinating concept, especially since we don't know what species Dal is. All in all, I enjoyed it and look forward to seeing how things play out. Also Jason Manzoukus(Adrian Pimento in 99, Derek in The Good Place)was born to play a Tellarite.
Wes, the joy you bring ... it brings joyful tears to my eyes.
Can only watch this one in New Zealand. All other videos blocked ?
Well, I think the first episode was a bit action-heavy, but it certainly shows a lot of potential for a genuinely great and engaging Star Trek show. One that can be cerebral and emotional and interesting with Del’s discovery of who and what he is, Zero being such an amazingly advanced being walking among ‘lesser’ beings, and the idea of these people who know nothing about the galaxy discovering it.
It makes me excited for the rest of the series, even if I think the first episode was just an action based Hook.
I'm 20 min into ep 1 - sadly I must continue tomorrow (too 🥱 sleepy). But I *had* to come on here to say that this show is the best looking all-CGI show I have seen to date!🤯 _These visuals are stunning!_
I realize it's aimed at kids, but I'm really hoping that there's something for adults as well,¹ because as I said, _this looks incredible!_ IMO it looks even better than the final season of _The Clone Wars_ 🤫 (and that raised the bar pretty high). Admittedly, there's a distinctly different art style, so I'm not trying to make a direct one-to-one comparison. The *Prodigy* production team has impressed me with what can now be done.
I hope they will be able to do more shows.² The wonderfully fluid animation. The fantastic art design. Their use of color and the stunning levels of detail. But above all (for me), the stunning cinematic shots, which are somehow imbued with a delightfully real-world or three-dimensional feel.
*EDIT:* Forgot to mention. . .I will be back to watch this ep of _The Ready Room_ as well.
*More! More! **_More!_*
··•🖖•··
¹ ─ Again, only 20 minutes in, but I have yet to see anything that leads me to believe they'll be talking _down_ to the audience. 😎👍
² ─ OMG, what I wouldn't give for a classic _STAR TREK_ era show (sans any overly comical exaggerated features) done by these folks! 🥰
Great to have you back Wil
anyone else able to find the 2nd episode? @Will Wheaton made a big deal of both episodes dropping but can only find the 1st.
The first episode is a two-parter, so if you watched a roughly 45 minute episode, you saw both of them! 🙃
Having received a great compliment from Ms. Mulgrew, Wil got a little choked up. I'd have felt the same way.
I'm blown away at this show. I actually think I like this more than lower decks. It's awesome.
It needs to air where kids will find it
I wasn't going to watch Prodigy, but, after this edition of "The Ready Room", I'll start watching this afternoon! Thanks Will!
The first episode was awesome! I loved it! It's definitely boldly going where no Star Trek series has gone before! I'm so glad they're exploring other areas of the Star Trek universe besides being about another Starfleet crew and extending the universe even more. I'm so happy there are finally more animated Star Trek while I still love all the live action Star Treks as much! I can't wait to introduce my nieces to it! And I'm really happy to see Star Trek: Voyager's Captain Kathryn Janeway back in this series. Yay! I hope the real one will appear in the series at some point. I like that they bring us back to the Delta Quadrant on the other side of our galaxy where Star Trek: Voyager left off in its finale over 20 years ago, right before USS Voyager and her crew made it home back to the Alpha Quadrant to Federation space and Earth. And I'm loving the USS Protostar she almost looks like Voyager but smaller and I have to say she has the coolest looking bridge. Lol. I can't wait for the next episode and hearing more of Kate Mulgrew's voice of Captain Janeway! 😊🖖❤
Why the ETH Janeway uniform is voyager era?
We don't know how long that ship has been there. Plus, in Discovery and Lower Decks they have had two different uniforms used depending on what ship you are stationed on
.
Why is the only version of this show available to watch in German
Wow, love Kate Mulgrew. And her understanding of what Roddenberry intentionally unintentionally created with Star Trek. Exactly my feelings as well.
I have no idea how far in the ‘trek future’ it is, but it’s interesting to see well in advance of voyager’s “so why didn’t we tell anyone about ablative generators” technology.
It's about 5-10 years after Voyager returned iirc.
Prodigy was so good. The best of nutrek!
No, The Ready room for star treck SNW?
You won me over when you threw in a Caitian, a Tellerite, and a Medusan. We've not seen any of those properly developed, and I'm looking forward to learning all about them. (Just be sure to coordinate with Dr. T'ana over at Lower Decks.)
Please give us holo-Doctor, holo-Jadzia, and while we still can, holo-Kirk.
Mulgrew as hologram and admiral is great to see, but the voice for the villian,... Divine casting !!
(No, I'm not going to spoil it for anyone who hasn't watched yet.)
Prodigy is a great show, close to the best of what's currently in production, maybe second only to Brave New Worlds.
Where can I watch this here in Germany?
Nowhere. Ha.
The pilot kind of had a little Star Wars vibe going on there. I liked it.
Hey Will is nice to see you again, you never age bruh hahaha xD
Congrats for this new show..
blessing to all of you guys
It's unbelievably mesmerizing!
I really appreciate the quality of animation. Nicely detailed, 3D looking characters are so rare in current day serialized animation. All of the animated series that I like kind of look the same - Futurama, Lower Deck, Final Space, Disenchantment, Steven Universe - you could lift a character from one, insert into another, and the style wouldn't even clash. The only exception I've seen is Trollhunters: Tales of Arcadia, and I immediately thought about it after seeing the trailer for Prodigy, so I'm not surprised to find out the same guys have worked on both.
Woooow loved that teaser to the next episode.
Awesome awesome suit and purpleness!
They have several child versions of previous characters to work with including Borg and even Q! A more "mature" version of Q's son Q would be a good lesson teacher as Q taught Picard and crew in ST:TNG.
When phasers came on I cried.
I'm truly excited for this series. I've been a trekkie since the reruns of TOS. Didn't fully get into it till TNG and fell in love with Voyager. Can't wait to see how this show goes
Awesome!!!!!
When in paramaunt+ Latin America?
This is Trek. As an adult... more please :)
It would be cool to see Hologram Janeway to become her own person, like the Doctor did on Voyager
I just finished the first two episodes and, even being an adult, I thought it was super cool. I'm definitely going to borrow my niece and nephew (5 and 6, respectively) so we can sit down and watch Prodigy. ❤️
This was a really good Ready Room & I'm excited for this new ST series even though I'm not a kid. I think it's safe to say that we're all benefactors of Roddenberry's ST vision.
Wesley and Kathryn Janeway never thought they would ever talk to each other....
Give her the mobile emitter!
For what it's worth, if not for Gene Roddenberry and Star Trek, I'd probably be a bigot today. Thank God my mother parked me in front of the right show.
I'm so in love with Kate ♥️
Love Prodigy. It has a lot of potential, and I think it'll be an amazing addition to the Star Trek universe. Look at the preview for next week's episode, I got goosebumps looking at Spock representing the Vulcans, and seeing all of the hero ships from previous incarnations of Star Trek (including the shuttlecraft) being displayed. Prodigy is definitely going to boldly go where no one has gone before!
It really has that good old Trek feel, can’t wait to see how all this plays out. It may be a rumor, but I think Commander Chakotay will make an appearance as well. I hope it’s true.
Looking forward to the next episode this show is amazing so far.
I love Kate Mulgrew, and I hope one day to meet her and tell her how profoundly she's influenced me. ❤
Personally, with Discovery introducing us to the 32nd century, id love to see a new Star Trek series set there with a Romulan captain exploring a neighboring galaxy
This is good stuff. I think the 'comedy' aspect of any cartoon is a bridge between young & old. Therefore it can appeal to all age groups.
Note: I believe marketing & promotion should be improved across the industry and something like this is no exception. I hope the series
takes off!!
I have had the theory of false memories proven to me by Star Trek!
For years I had a very strong memory that I.watched
They hid all the videos?
So funny to see this now :)
Uh oh… they showed the very “Classified” USS Discovery @28:35
Officially, there was a USS Discovery and it was destroyed in a warp core accident, all hands were lost. Lol this actually is the official story if you go back to the season 2 finale and listen to the interrogation of the Enterprise crew.
@@ChristopherG1990 Thanks for your reply and please don't take my response as provoking an argument as I'm well aware of the events of Discovery Season 2 finale.
Given the aftermath of the battle of Xahea do you feel the USS Discovery is referenced frequently at the academy or by historians and held in the same esteem as the Enterprise D, Defiant and Voyager? The Enterprise C is a hero ship I would think the battle at Narendra III would celebrated within Starfleet and the Klingon Empire. We all know what USS Discovery really did but to everyone not in the "know" what did they really do? 🤔
@@good_teanice_house6789 if it is mentioned in the Academy history books then it’s probably a bold face lie. They lie about the Lantaru sector, telling people that the rift is a natural phenomenon when really it’s where they experimented with the Omega molecule.
@@good_teanice_house6789 The presumable official story that the USS Discovery participated in the battle of Xahea alongside the Enterprise to save the galaxy and was lost during that battle is technically the truth, even if the exact details of what they did, why and where they disappeared to remains classified.
That's exactly what I thought. Maybe it was just the Crossfield Class?
