Reminded me a lot of Discovery. What a cool episode for Zero - their character design is quite fitting I think and looks good. Wonder if we'll ever see that in live action. @startrek
I wasn’t expecting Wesley, but I enjoyed how he was used this season. Considering he was able to fling the Enterprise to a different galaxy with his mind, I didn’t see anything in this season that bothered me regarding his “powers”.
I’m not sure exactly what I thought was going to be behind the mid 20th century vault door, but it certainly wasn’t Wesley Crusher. I didn’t hate it either. Was the sweater that he was wearing one that he wore in TNG? It seemed very familiar.
The Loom are terrifying. We’ve seen “getting erased completely from history” before with the Krenim time weapon (VOY: Year of Hell), but this version seemed so much worse to me.
I loved the bit regarding all the separate realities, including the “oops you aren’t supposed to know that” regarding the mycelial plane.
Seeing Janeway take on the Loom by herself in a shuttle reminded me of her taking on the macrovirus in VOY: Macrocosm.
Gillian (the whale!) piloting the ship through the wormhole
Wesley finally calling his mom, but then showing up behind her as a surprise
The tie-in to the Picard synth attach at the end where the crew reacts to seeing the Mars attack on the news
Janeway pushing to continue some scientific and humanitarian missions
I do have a question though. I have been getting “these two people seem to want to get together vibes” in between Chakotay and Janeway starting in the episode “Cracked Mirror”. Was this just wishful thinking on my part?
Speaking of relationships, were holo-Janeway and the Doctor flirting?
Regrettably, I’m in Canada, so it will be a while before I can…acquire the episodes. I’m looking forward to diving into these threads when I eventually watch the thing!
I want to make sure that I understood what was happening in the scene where the turbo lift door opens and they see an alternate reality… Those were the Enderprizians from “All the World’s a Stage”, right?
Since we never got a mirror universe episode in Voyager (not counting “Living Witness”), I enjoyed Mulgrew and Beltran getting to give us a quick glimpse of what it would have been like.
I loved the callback from Chakotay regarding the events from the VOY episode “Shattered”.
I probably should have made comments while watching the episodes, as I’m sure I am forgetting a lot of details, but Prodigy seems to have picked up where it left off with regard to the quality of its episodes.
You know what, I’m out. I’d be down for >!Gary Seven!< or even >!Dark Kes!< but >!Renegade Timelord Wesley Crusher!< is beyond my capacity for suspension of disbelief.
Dude, you’re missing out then. I was dubious going in, but Time Lord Wesley was the absolute delight I didn’t know I needed. Wheaton’s performance was probably leagues better than in TNG.
Checking off two sci-fi bingo boxes with the classic "airplane race with an alien you just met" and "computer gone rogue" in the same half hour! Quite clever and brave of Zero to take the pointy AI out like that.
By the way, did Gwyn refer to Zero as a he in the log? If true, it wouldn't be the first time a character's pronouns have changed after you met them. Just like real life - I like that.
P.S. Is this the first time in Star Trek we hear a log in voiceover that also includes someone else's voice?
I don’t have an answer to your pronoun question, but hearing somebody else’s voice in the log jumped out at me as well. If it has happened before, it is pretty rare.
People seem to have really strong opinions about this show, seeing how every episode discussion is evenly up- and downvoted before anybody have even had a chance to watch or comment 🙄
