#so I have to pirate it through my laptop which means im not really liveblogging

[youngpettyqueen]

just watched the first 5 episodes of Prodigy! I cant quite liveblog this one because I am yo-ho-hoing it, so posts about it will be made after I do my nightly viewings

STRONG start to the series. im in love with this crew already and have been since episode 1. this crew has such a different feel than any other Trek show, and I love it. I love them. I love that we're FINALLY getting a Tellarite main character, and a Medusan?? wasn't expecting THAT, holy shit. and the new species they introduced have some sick as hell designs already, cant wait to see what more we get design-wise

so far, Rok-Tahk is my fav. I love her. shes my baby and if anything bad happens to her im killing everyone here and then myself. but really, I love them all. Dal is fun, and arrogant, and reckless, and sooooo different from any other Trek lead. Zero is fucking hilarious, love them, love that they're like "I am beyond corporeal existence and also gender <3" good for them honestly. Jankom im so excited for because again, FINALLY A TELLARITE MAIN. Tellarites have been around since TOS and we barely get ANYTHINGGGGGG with them. and then Gwyn and the Diviner seem SUUUUPER cool, love their designs, I love Gwyn sm already. love that right from the beginning she isnt unconditionally loyal and can see something's going on, but I love that she isnt excused or immediately redeemed- her fighting with Rok-Tahk was so good, Rok-Tahk being so ANGRY with her, but then being the first to extend a helping hand when she needed it?? again, Rok-Tahk is my everything. oh, and Murf. shoutout to Murph. love a little mascot guy. peak design 10/10

seeing Janeway again is of course a thrill. I squealed out loud when she showed up, thats my wife and I love her so MUUUUCH. love that shes a hologram, and just as sassy and defiant as the real Janeway, and that shes got the motherly touch. her presence, and the tone of the first 5 episodes, really made this show feel like Voyager, but also like its own unique thing, and I really really enjoyed it

ive been super excited to start this series and im super excited to keep going with it. im excited to see where this crew goes, what they do, and any familiar faces we might get to see besides Janeway! I know absolutely NOTHING about this series, im going in spoiler-free, so im super stoked to see just where we end up
