That was my first thought too. Which is why I always look things up to make sure.

The ship in Prodigy is not a refit of Voyager, it’s the Voyager-A, a considerably larger Lamarr-class ship (named for Hedy Lamarr). Picard established, and the season 2 premiere mentioned, that the original Voyager is in the Fleet Museum now.

“Nevertheless, the 4.8 million views over a single day represent a third of what Ahsoka did in a full week, which suggests it will beat Ahsoka’s first week and that is clearly a win for Disney.”

I think there’s a better name for them than Chair Droids. They are literally... Pilot Seats.

Amen.

Not the first time a tokusatsu-inspired series has been done in audiobook format:

I actually feel Ian Ousley’s Sokka somehow looks even more like Sokka than the animated Sokka does. His face is just so perfect for the character, at once Dick Yorkishly comical and square-jawedly heroic.

I loved it. It’s remarkably faithful, yet not afraid to put the pieces together in new ways that make it interestingly different. When new things are added, they feel true to the characters and universe, and let us see them in a fresh light. I like the way they refine the storyline of season 1 by bringing in some…

I wouldn’t call 7.5% of the world’s population “only.” I always figured it had to be a limited nuclear conflict, because humanity wouldn’t have survived an all-out one, or at least civilization wouldn’t have survived in any condition to launch a warp prototype just 10 years later.

Err, January 25 is Thursday.

I question the 2026 start date for WWIII. It comes only from a barely-glimpsed page of screen text in Enterprise: “In a Mirror, Darkly Part 2,” and is never stated anywhere in dialogue. The general impression given in “Encounter at Farpoint” and First Contact is that the war happened more toward midcentury, ending…

“But then it’s curious because Mobius didn’t burst like that.”

No, Loki’s bouncing around within the TVA’s pocket timeline, which is outside all the others, enabling it to view them all and access them at any point in their history (much like how the Watcher operates). They said it’s not supposed to be possible to move back and forth in the TVA’s own internal history, but the…

“Abruptly, Loki warps back to his timeline, and realizes that a side effect of being at the end of time when it was broken means he’s being sucked into multiple timelines at random, and seeing things happening in both parallel dimensions and in the future.”

I would’ve been fine with a recap, but there was no need to recreate things in live-action: Just do “previously on” clips from The Clone Wars and Rebels. If Star Trek: Strange New Worlds can do a Lower Decks crossover where Boimler & Mariner start out as their usual animated selves and then change to live-action…

Theoretically, everyone is connected to the Force, so Huyang’s statement doesn’t require Sabine to have any more Force abilities than an average person. Rebels made a point of Sabine not being a Force user in the Darksaber arc, so it would be odd for Filoni to retcon that now.

“Even if, as Huyang says, Sabine has less Jedi ability than any padawan he’s ever seen in history. (Which, quick aside, is a pretty messed up thing for him to say even if it gives Sabine that much more room to grow.)”

“Cosmic marks the first time in earnest that the franchise is creating its own material in whole cloth...”

The word you want is “copyrighted,” not “copywritten.”

I remain convinced that Roddenberry created Chekov in an attempt to draw in some of the Illya Kuryakin fanbase (as well as the Davy Jones fanbase). He claimed it was due to an editorial in Pravda complaining that ST had no Russians, but there’s no evidence any such editorial was ever published, and it’s unlikely…
