I'm not sure I'd leave Neelix in charge of the Female Changeling's prison cell...

"Now?"

Dammit, I need to see this poster.

What if you're only one of those things? Asking for a friend.

It's the opening scene of "The Naked Time", right before things get freaky.

I guess the World of Tanks promotion did well?

Edit: okay, this is kind of great.

Whoever wins...we lose.

A separate "Prodigy" panel has been added to the SDCC schedule:

STAR TREK: PRODIGY PANEL

Sunday, July 28, 10:00-11:00 AM PT, Room 6DE

CBS Studios invites you to a special screening of a Season 2 episode of Star Trek: Prodigy, followed by an exclusive conversation with Star Trek legend and voice actor Kate Mulgrew, voice actor Brett Gray and executive producers Kevin & Dan Hageman to discuss the new season currently streaming on Netflix. Moderated by Ryan Britt, editor at Inverse, the panel will also include a special giveaway item.

However, this all goes horribly wrong by "Who Saves the Saviors" and "Temporal Mechanics 101." Instead of Chakotay sending the Protostar on autopilot — as everyone assumed he did in the original timeline — he goes with the ship, which means it ends up stranded in 2374.

This basic event is the crux of the near entirety of Season 2. In order for the timeline to be restored, the Protostar has to get back to Tars Lamora, which is why the kids have to team-up with Chakotay to get the Protostar back to where they belong.

None of them would know each other, Gwyn wouldn’t exist, and the Federation wouldn't be saved from the Construct if they didn't. In addition to a lot of other adventures, the big arc in Season 2 is designed to preserve the backstory of Season 1.

And this is the issue that I have with the outcome of the story. After all they did to "restore the timeline," we still have a past in which Gwyn shouldn't exist, because her father never goes back in time to enslave Tars Lamora and become the Diviner.

While I'm sure there's a way to logic it away, it seems to undercut the entire season, and what they were trying to accomplish.

The full announcement says Omari Hardwick, Sam Richardson, and Kacey Rohl will be repping S31.

The Academy portion just lists Alex Kurtzman and Noga Landau for now. I think a surprise guest isn't out of the question, but it's probably best to keep expectations low.

I'd actually love to see even some photos of the giant set they're reportedly building...
