Mr. Olyphant was great as Cobb Vanth in The Mandalorian. Vanth standing in the entrance to the bar in the Mandalorian armor is such an amazing moment. It's burned in my brain.
What a great first peek. I love seeing the Doctor. I'm happy to see this clip's release, but I'm staying with cautiously optimistic about the where and when of Prodigy's future home and seasons, and the availability for viewing of season 2. Leaning towards optimistic because someone had to give permission to release the clip. Paramount+ maybe? Until Prodigy has a new home, I'm guessing that Paramount+ owns the rights to Prodigy.
I don't doubt that there are parties interested in carrying the show. They would gain a show with a preexisting, supportive fan base and become a part of the Star Trek realm.
All in all, an impressive response by Star Trek fans to Prodigy and the creative team's poor treatment by Paramount+. Go team Star Trek fans!
"Make it so" works so well, in so many situations. I hear what you're saying about not using it in that situation, though.
I tend to hum TOS' fight music when doing chores around the house. This one:
That comment by Worf when Nog doesn't know what to do when he can't find a runner who didn't touch base always gets me laughing. Peak Klingon.
Nog: What's wrong?
O'Brien: He didn't touch home, Nog!
Nog: Is that true? What do I do?
Worf: Find him and kill him!
DS9 "Take Me Out to the Holosuite" s7e4. Awesome episode.

Thanks knowledgeable Klingon language folks!
It's from the film Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (1986).
Nice! That reminds me of, "resistance is futile." I am seldom in a situation to use it, though. Which is probably a good thing. Last time I regularly used it was when my cats were kittens and I needed to clean their faces. Now that they are grown, yeah, their resistance isn't futile when it comes to cleaning their faces.
Gowron does have a wonderfully intense delivery when speaking.
Kudos on not getting stabby! Self-restraint is a good life skill.
Hey, someone's got to be there for the Star Trek fans when the situation needs a non-Star Trek response. IDIC. Thank you for expanding the definition of "what is a Star Trek fan." 🖖
I'm thinking of Boimler practicing saying "qapla'" which is awesome.
Every time I hear that phrase I think of whale songs.
Oh my gosh, yes. "Oh my" is great. I'm laughing at the thought of using "fascinating" as shorthand for, "Whatever, I long since stop listening, but I'm too polite to ask you to stop talking."
"If that happens, not only will Prodigy keep Star Trek alive in the hearts of fans, any work it brings other writers, or live-action actors could help them, too."
I hope the fan support for Prodigy factors favorably for the show getting a new home and season sooner rather than later. Being able to provide income for writers, actors, and others in the industry during the strike would be great. I think the first part of the above quote is a bit of hyperbole.
I think that Prodigy is a different situation from TAS in that there isn't a lack of Star Trek available for viewing at this time, and fan support of Star Trek is ongoing. I think it's possible that TAS saved Star Trek by igniting a fresh wave of letter writing campaigns by fans calling for more Star Trek. At the time, there was only TOS and then TAS. Prodigy doesn't stand alone in a near empty void of any other Star Trek offerings like TAS did. Any support of Star Trek is wonderful.
I do think Prodigy is much more successful than TAS in being tailored for very young viewers, and open for older viewers to enjoy as well. I was a teen when TAS was first broadcast, and I watched the show because I was already a Star Trek fan. Nothing about TAS struck me as being targeted for children. It seemed like it fell to a general idea of the time that animated = for children. TAS was parked with Saturday morning cartoons.
So, I have two hopes for Prodigy during the WGA/SAG-AFTRA strike. One, that it gets a new home soon with a new season that provides income for the Prodigy creative team. Two, that Paramount+ is kicking itself for how badly it treated Prodigy.
Greetings fellow DSC fan. I like the show, too. Considering that Paramount+ kept it going for 5 seasons, a lot of other people watched it. While I'm a fan of the show, I don't think it's perfect, and I can respect other folks critiques of the show. But sometimes the vitriol generators go so long and strong, it can be difficult to separate the signal from the noise with DSC criticisms.
For what it's worth, indeed. I'm glad that Prodigy, and its fan and creative team support, were acknowledged. The most heartening part of the comment for me was, "They are part of the canon."
I thoroughly enjoy most everything about DSC Klingons. With their appearance, I didn't like or dislike their look when I first saw it so much as I was surprised. Klingons have a history of looking very different throughout Star Trek. I've rewatched DSC so many times, I'm used to how the Klingons look. However, I absolutely love the depiction of Klingon society. I still marvel at the Klingon armor and sets. The dichotomy of such a combative society and the intricate beauty of their ships, armor, everything. Their artistry goes beyond simple functionality. I think it adds depth to the Klingons.
