Spoilers for Star Trek: Prodigy

Why I'm fine with the J/C reunion, with gifs!

Ok, look. I've been shipping J/C for over twenty years at this point. Voyager was my first fandom and J/C was my first ship and maybe I'm in the minority here but I am fine with how they handled things... Because you have to remember at the end of the day this is a show written for kid and it is about the kids and a romantic relationship between two middle aged people is not going to be the priority... so we didn't get a kiss. Would it have been nice to get a kiss? Of course. But what we did get is:

This hug... like look at this... the way his closes his eye and rubs her back and leans his head a little closer head as it goes on...

And this is not a brief hug... the camera cuts away to Dal and Gwyn's reaction and to Noum and Tysess coming into the room then it cuts back and they are still hugging.

And even as they break a part they keep hanging on to each other and Chakotay says "I've thought about this moment for what feels like an eternity" like he spent all those years thinking about being reunited with his Kathryn... 😭 Plus she puts her hand on his chest and he's not even in a biobed (iykyk)

And then they look at each other like this...

and it's clear from the angle of Chakotay's arm here that he is still touching her

There's also the fact that pretty much any time Janeway, Chakotay, Dal and Gwyn are in the room together the camera will cut from J/C to Dal & Gwyn or from Dal & Gwyn to J/C associating J/C with the show's main romantic pairing... In this scene for example it cuts from J/C to Dal & Gwyn... and after Janeway and Chakotay look at each other in this shot, it cuts to Dal telling Gywn "What ever this reality throws at us, I'm glad I'm in this one with you."

And then there is this shot:

Where Janeway puts her hand on top of Chakotay's while they are literally framed by Gywn and Dal with Dal's personal log in voice over saying "maybe home isn't always a place, it's the people we trust the most."

To me this is "show don't tell" and the thing they are showing us is that these two are in love with each other. To me this is not subtle, this is not subtext. A kiss is not the only way to show that two characters are in love.

There's also the possibility that they were not already a romantic couple when Chakotay left with the Protostar and that it took this separation for them to acknowledge their feelings to themselves. (or possibly just for Janeway to acknowledge to herself how she felt about him, since I think Chakotay was already quite aware of how he felt about her.) That was my assumption all along and if that's the case, give them a chance to process and talk to each other.

Also Holo-Janeway looks so sad here... I'm sure she's happy for Chakotay that finally got home but she also knows she's lost him...😭

I feel like Star Trek Prodigy is not getting enough attention. It's a great show and a good starting point if you don't know much about Star Trek (it also ties in well with other shows in the franchise). 🖖

And it's a beautifully animated show.

Maybe watch it so we have a chance of getting a third season. 😊

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Prodigy s.2, the plot is amazing and the character development is great. But my OTP displaying affection IN PUBLIC is just something that'll keep me going for years 😆😅

STAR TREK: PRODIGY | season 2 (2024)

[genderentvy]

A teenage vulcan immediately disobeying orders and going rogue at the risk of her own life for a telepathic blob in a mech suit (who now has a meat suit because they wanted to hold her hand so bad?!) was not the ship I expected but it was what I deserved

Janeway and Chakotay's reunion 😭

The way she said his name and smiled. The way they looked at each other, all soft. The way she touched his chest, right above his heart. The way they could not stop reaching for one another now that he's home. The way he gently moved his hands in circles over her back and closed his eyes when they hugged, finally at peace.

I never needed a kiss. This casual intimacy is exactly what I was hoping for and made me fall in love with them all those decades ago. It's everything.
