Robert Beltran (Chakotay) is back for Star Trek: Prodigy

[Quinton]

Announced at the 55-Year Mission convention. I'm frankly astonished. The man was miserable for much of his run on Voyager. Out of all Star Trek alumni, I can only think of two actors/actresses whose returns would surprise me more -- Jolene Blalock and Jennifer Lien.

But hey, I'm here for this.

This is exciting.

I just wish the current Powers That Be would find room for some DS9 legacy characters. We can get 4 Voyager returns (Janeway, Chakotay, Seven, Paris) AND a very specific reference to Voyager the ship in Discovery but not one DS9 character?

Even when we see the station and Quark's Bar in Lower Decks, there's no Quark. Not even Morn.

DS9 doesn't need it. Let it stand apart.

 

[Paul755]

I’m honestly surprised Beltran was willing to do it.

 

[Santa Kang]

Apparently he's playing someone called Chakatay.

Beltran didn’t reveal if he would be reprising the role of Chakatay,

 

[valkyrie013]

That's Great! Glad he doesn't hold grudges, he got hosed over by voyager producers, hopefully this leads to some good stuff for him and chaotey!

Sometimes you have to get over BS and serve the fandom. Glad he's in!

Transporter duplicate confirmed.

*Double checks date to confirm it isn't April 1st.*
Okay, so this can't be an April Fool's joke.
*Looks out window to see if pigs are flying.*
That's not it either. I guess that leaves only one option. Hell has frozen over.

 

[Athena28]

Shocked. He couldn’t stand his part on Voyager. I won’t be so cynical as to speculate why I believe he’s coming back.

 

[CorporalClegg]

Why?

A Chakatay keeps the dentist away...

 

[CorporalClegg]

I guess if he's animated then they can at least draw him as if he were an actual indigenous person.

Nope. It's 98 degrees in Phoenix right now.

Well, send it over here.

 

[CorporalClegg]

Nope. It's 98 degrees in Phoenix right now.

To be fair, even when hell DOES freeze over, it'll still be 98 degrees in Phoenix.

 

[Commander Troi]

Well, yes.

 

[Cyrus]

Probably another hologram created by Janeway hologram. The entire voyager cast can be done like this.

 

[CorporalClegg]

Harry doesn't get one.

 

[Christmas Canon Spock]

And holo Janeway keeps deleting all the wives.

 

[F. King Daniel]

Yikes. My least favoute character of all is back? My enthusiasm level just bottomed out
