Only reason I think they might not go this route is that it could make it hard for them to drop in Prodigy references. Although, they could definitely have the two EMHs talking to each other…

I know everyone here probably knows how to pirate things from overseas, but having the show available on a streaming service like Netflix or SkyShowtime is going to put it in front of more people who might like it and make it easier for them to recommend to their friends. I’d say the same thing no matter how long the wait was, to be honest. It took a good while for Summer Camp Island S6 to show up here in the U.S. but now it gets regular reruns on cable, which is what lets kids and teens find it. Better that the show’s reach isn’t restricted to people who already know what they’re looking for.

CTV used to be the best at exposure by putting Star Trek on both streaming and linear - not sure why they’re dropping the ball on this one.

They had to turn the ship into a boat! (What an odd sentence.)

@Stormygeddon@startrek.website I’d love to see Andorians and Tellarites struggle to pronounce place names like Ashwaubenon and Oconomowoc.

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@startrek.website

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?

@StillPaisleyCat@startrek.website Although I wish some of Pike’s dialogue had been fleshed out a bit to make him feel like less of a generic foil for M’Benga (especially in their scene near the end), I do really like that they had the lead character of the show be the one who doesn’t get it, and in a way that’s in keeping with his characterization (it ties in particularly well with last season’s alternate-timeline Romulan episode, I think).
