So what if Mozart was composing symphonies at 6. Alia Atreides was orchestrating the downfall of a vast galactic empire from the comfort of her mother's womb.

WARNING: THINKY THOUGHTS ABOUT JANEWAY AND STAR TREK PRODIGY S2.

-----

Ready?

Okay!

----

It's honestly so fun seeing how Janeway interacts when she has a Commanding Officer. It's something we've never seen from all of Voyager, and the Admiral giving her orders being Jellico is such a good one.

Jellico isn't bad, he's just a giant stick in the mud. If people thought Janeway adhered too much to Starfleet in the Delta Quadrant, that would've been nothing if it was Jellico who was stuck in the DQuad.

But also Jellico trying to order Janeway from helping or rescuing members of her crew?

Well, Janeway reacts to those orders just as well as Seven reacts to orders she disagrees with.

LMAO.

I can't believe she did that.

I need Janeway to pull this off in front of Seven because I know, I know that Seven would say something snarky. And then repeat to Janeway, verbatim, all Janeway's lectures about hierarchy and following orders.

And, technically, she wasn't lying!

BTW -- As someone who loves all Borg stuff-- this Transwarp hub is so sexy.

Being silly, making more banners. Netflix hasn't advertised, so it may be entirely up to us.

Again, please steal if you like. Post everywhere. 🥳

TWO (2!!!) MOMENTS WHEN THEY ALMOST KISSED IN A SINGLE EPISODE. As honorable J/C veteran I approve the intensitivity and quality of staring here btw... So YEAH, the writers DID their homework.

Also. I'm unwell. I'm literally so SICK. Just LOOK at them. The getting closer to his face. The CLOSED FOR KISS EYES OF MIRROR CHAKOTAY. The hand on his face. The hand on his CHEST. The softly running eyes. The hard breathing when he thinks about years alone.

Also the amazing job of actors, bc I was already sobbing when they saw each other and then I heard the soft broken voice of Beltran and just EXPLODED, I SWEAR-

It's really beautiful that one hologram's sacrifice saves the entire federation... ❤😭😭😭

It took a whole season before one of the non-timey-whimey Prodigy episode logs wound up with a little stardate error.

I used Trekguide and Hillschmidt.de's calculators for this because I know some folks like both. (Trekguide bases its calculations off of a long list of canon calendar-to-stardate calculations. Hillschmidt just assumes that xx000=Jan 1 and xx999 = Dec 31, which I prefer because it makes star dates more predictable.)

Back to the point. Up until the final one, there really hasn't been anything off in the Admirals logs, which are my main source of how much time is passing in Prodigy. Dal only bothers to give a captains log with a star date in a handful of episodes and the one time HJ gives one that I recall is during the temporal nonsense in Time Amok, where we can assume the computer is a bit confused.

By both calculators: We can assume about a month passes between the kids escape into the Neutral Zone, ship repairs, and KJ's Mindwalk/Supernova part 1 log.

Things get fuzzy after that. Supernova part 2 says that there is 1 month between the battle and the kids arrival on Earth, which should mean that the post-Supernova part 2 log, 1 week after their arrival needs to be 5 weeks after the battle...

By both calculators... the time between the admirals logs it's barely 2 days. 😂

I computed some more accurate dates for the kids arrival and the admirals log. You can pop them into your preferred calculator to determine the correct stardates.

Following especially the latest season of Prodigy, I would just like to give a shoutout to Chakotay.

I actually liked him even back in Voyager, although he could definitely have been written better in that show. But then Prodigy came, and despite his limited screen time, that show did him SO well I can still barely believe it. And no, I'm not talking about how unexpectedly hot he looks in a cowboy hat ... That's the bonus cherry on top if anything.

If Prodigy proved anything (besides that it is now one of my favorite Star Treks of all time) is that Chakotay's earned that captain's chair, and so, so much respect.

I love how we get to see him be the selfless, dedicated, strong leader that he is and has always been, entirely disconnected from Janeway or any other legacy character. Now more than ever Chakotay and Janeway are just equally hardcore, badass captains who would give their lives for the greater good in an instant, and that's part of what makes them so great. Their equality, despite the different ranks, really came across in Prodigy more than ever before, which I loved to see.

Honestly, whenever I see Chakotay dismissed as a doormat or "best off as second in command" I just kind of rage a little. Even back in Voyager, it was pretty clear to me that he wasn't (for example, some people seem to forget that he was a captain originally and only became a first officer for the good of the Maquis crew.)

And now that we have Prodigy ... Even though we don't really see much of it on screen (which is a shame), I like reminding myself how, since the launch of the Protostar, he went through 12 (!) more years of (self-)sacrifice and (leadership) hell and managed to come out of that seemingly stronger and more certain of his place and himself than ever.

Even the events of "The Last Flight of the Protostar" aside ... Just think about how many life-altering, defining, difficult choices and sacrifices he had to make in those 12 years.

In the timeline that was averted, he sacrificed his only shot to get back home through the wormhole (the Protostar) to save the Federation from the weapon on board.

In the new timeline, he sacrificed himself by choosing to stay on that planet where he and Adreek landed, also for the sake of protecting the Federation from the weapon on the Protostar.

Chakotay was technically stranded in the Delta Quadrant twice (once with Voyager, once with the Protostar), and despite how abysmally things went on his first command, he never sacrificed his integrity or his dedication to Starfleet's values. He becomes a little grumpy over 10 years in solitude, but honestly, who wouldn't? And then the first thing he does after being rescued is take over Voyager-A and continue his service ... That's some dedication if I've ever seen it. I think he may have wanted to prove something there ... and honestly, he couldn't have succeeded more.

And no, he did not "teach" Dal that his place was "the second in command" ... On the contrary, he very likely showed Dal through his own competence and perseverance that Dal himself was simply not ready yet for such a responsibility.

He's just an extraordinary captain who has gone through things and made choices that very few others could have made. Choices like sending the Protostar back in time, that had the fate of the entire Federation depending on it.

I adore Prodigy in general, but one of the things I adore the most is that it finally shows us more of why Chakotay is not second to Janeway or to anyone. He's his own leader, his own character, and his own captain who deserves so much more acknowledgment.

Although, I still feel that we were robbed of some of Chakotay's best moments by not showing us the arrival of the Protostar on Solum and later the events preceding its (presumably) emergency landing on that planet where it stayed for ten years (honestly, I'd love for future Prodigy seasons to have maybe a flashback episode or two about the Protostar's maiden voyage and Chakotay's arrival on Solum and maybe later on that planet where he was stranded.)

Anyway, long rant over ... All I wanted to say was that Chakotay has more than earned the command of Voyager-A; seeing him in that chair made me very happy, I won't lie.

And I really hope if/when Prodigy gets more seasons, he'll be a more major character because he deserves a more central role.

I’m a little over halfway through season two of Prodigy.

This show is a delight!

It’s almost as if 20 episode seasons allow time for true character development! And allows us to get to know the characters better and care what happens to them!

I’m in my forties and I just shed tears over them finding the Bird Man and laying him to rest on this animated “kid’s show”. And those kids giving Chakotay hope again. I was also genuinely surprised and delighted to see Wesley Crusher! 💖

If you’re a Trekkie and you’re not watching Prodigy, you’re missing out!

Also I had a major crush on Chakotay back when Voyager first aired and animated DILF Chakotay can get it. 🥵😍😂

whaaaaaaaat

Episode description for Star Trek Prodigy episode 18...

Wow, THAT one is going to be a wild ride...

[that-vexaholic-cryptid]

In a move I can only think was to directly spite Paramount for how they treated the show, Prodigy swiped some BIG story elements that the other shows whiffed on, and also seemlessly lined itself up with Picard Season 1

Prodigy firmly cemented itself in the canon timeline, and I applaud them for that. Fuck you, Paramount.
