Star Trek's crazy ass 28 day total runtime leaving everyone else in the shade

Hey, don't cry. 900 star trek episodes, many good, okay?

I've seen some posts confused about when Prodigy takes place compared to Picard or Lower Decks or something else, so here's a very simplified timeline of Star Trek's 24th century.

“I don’t like NuTrek, they don’t highlight what makes classic Trek so great.”

Cool. I recommend Star Trek Prodigy.

“So much of NuTrek is too far into the future or too far into the past”

Okay cool… I recommend Prodigy. It starts literally after Voyager ended.

“These new seasons of NuTrek are so short, and their plots move by way too fast”

Again… Prodigy. It’s 20 episodes a season, there are two seasons, that’s 40 episodes! Lots of time to go on hijinks and still have overarching plots.

“These NuTrek shows don’t respect the cannon of Star Trek”

PLEASE… I’m BEGGING YOU… watch Star Trek Prodigy. The writers LOVE the canon of legacy Trek and they’ve worked hard to improve on storylines from the TNG and VOY eras while also added some very deep cuts and references only seasoned Trek fans will catch!

Please… Prodigy is on Netflix. You can watch all 40 episodes now. It’s fantastic!

What's the weirdest bit of Star Trek trivia that you know?

[trekkie-polls]

For bonus points - are they good or are they terrible? Is this comedy or is it art?

STAR TREK: PRODIGY || 02.14 "Cracked Mirror"

[startrekprodigyfan]

J/C shippers are being salty and lamenting Prodigy for not being explicit about Janeway and Chakotay’s love for each other.

Meanwhile, in the text of the Prodigy series itself…

In Janeway’s Ready Room on the Voyager A (seen in episode 5) are a bunch of mementos from her adventures. Some are obvious, such as the framed arachnid on the wall as a reference to her Captain Proton Holodeck adventure, or the mini Voyager model…

But there’s ONE deep cut memento you might not realize the significance of. And that’s this compact mirror she stops to admire.

Which is a reference to a series of short stories that was published around 2005 under the title “Distant Shores.”

And in this series of short stories is one titled “Isabo’s Shirt” written by Kristen Beyer. And the story centers around Janeway and Chakotay… going on a DATE.

So when Janeway looks over the mementos in her Ready Room, she specifically stops and dwells on this compact mirror and the episode takes the time to show her doing this and show how much it means to her.

I’m sorry, but how are you lamenting that J/C is NOT cannon after witnessing THAT??? The writers of Prodigy took non-cannon short stories from 2005 about a J/C date and turned it into factual, textual, official Star Trek cannon!!!
