Ah fair enough. That's good.

I need to find those posters I saw a little bit ago. Gwyn has an interesting sword.
That sword looks very impractical, with such a thin connection near the hilt. It looks like it would be prone to bend or snap at that point. It also looks like it'd be really hard to sharpen.
Although I bet it'll turn out to be some high-tech shapeshifting gizmo or something.

Other than that one that breaks in Spock's hand because reasons, how many; hardest substances known to man in Trek are there? 
It could be made from one of them. Badda bing, badda bang, badda boom. Done.

Not sure hardness is the best quality there, not if it equals brittleness. Shape matters as much as material strength; with the forces concentrated on such a narrow point of connection, and with the leverage of that long blade, a hard, rigid substance could still snap at that weak point. A flexible substance would be better. Maybe the reason for that design is to give it some kind of a spring effect, with forces absorbed and released by the flexing of the slender parts of the blade.
With the way it's glowing, though, it might be some kind of energy construct, or at least might have some kind of a structural integrity field compensating for its flimsy design.
It’s 24th century alien techno-magic. Nothing more. Probably stole it from her eeeevil dad.
Sure, the force field could form a monofilament blade that could probably cut through neutronium.
Nevermind that, what's all that stuff jutting underneath the hilt? Even if there's no sharpness to it (it's impossible to tell where the "blade" begins and ends), that can't be comfortable swinging that thing around. Is it a stabbing sword or a slicing sword? Does the underhilt make it so that only well-trained users can safely wield this contraption? Does it do something fancy, like wrap around her arm and fold in?
The mere length of the sword makes me think it's used traditionally for slicing, unless Gwyn primarily uses it as a blunt object, a la a staff. Which is possible for a children's program.
I don't much like the badge.
The trailer has me intrigued.
It seems that both the VOY badge and the PRO badge will appear on holo-Janeway. Maybe she'll change it cause it's not an official SF crew...?

Thomas Marrone is also a ship and UI artist on Star Trek Online, so that's pretty cool.

NY Time. I got the same times when I looked from here in AZ.
