Spoilers Star Trek: Prodigy General Discussion Thread

It's not that. The Burn didn't really affect my feelings on preexisting shows (though there have been incidents like Fury and the Icheb gouging which dented my feelings on preexisting stories and characters).

No, this is closer to creating a whole new show around a character after establishing that he comes to a terrible end. Only it's worse, because it is now established that all the progress since the 23rd century has basically come to nothing, and only Michael Burnham Allmighty can get them back on track.
I guess that's one way to look at it. :shrug:

*goes to look for his Burnham icon picture*
 
2383
Delta Quadrant

So the show takes place in the Delta Quadrant? That would explain why none of the characters look like typical Alpha Quadrant species. But why would there be an abandoned Starfleet vessel in the Delta Quadrant in 2383, much less one with Janeway as a hologram aboard?

I would guess it's some sort of experimental ship designed to return to the DQ, similar to the quantum slipstream-powered Full Circle Fleet in the post-finale Voyager novels. As for why it's abandoned, maybe there was an accident with the experimental drive and it jumped to the DQ before it had a crew aboard. (Since it's a kids' show, I think that's more likely than the whole crew being killed.)
 
The hologram could even have been made before she got Voyager, and she just never mentioned it out of embarrassment that they modeled a training holo after her. Or it was made after Voyager got back, and got the old uniform because that what she's remembered for - just like a Neil Armstrong holo would show him with a moon suit.

Why should we know before the show airs?

I recall a character list which included a Denobulan, a Ferengi, a Tellarite, possibly a human, and some others. Since the six younger main characters that were shown are obviously not those people, but possibly Delta Quadrant natives, then those preliminary descriptions might have been of the Prodigy's original crew.

Why should we know before the show airs?

Why do we have teaser trailers for stuff that hasn't aired yet?
 
I was about to cry Canon Violation because Janeway has no rank insignia on her collar, but then I realized that's likely because this is a hologram based on her.
 
An interesting tidbit came out of this interview:

Apparently one of the characters has a connection with the original series. So let the guessing begin!

My very longshot of a guess is that the large rock-looking guy (on the far right of the promo image) is somehow related to the Horta.
 
Emergency Janeway Hologram.. For use when you want things jacked up worse than they currently are.. :rofl:
Maybe Barclay tried to send a ship to help, May be a test of the Q drive that went pear shaped and thought they lost the ship. Or some type of emergency and the crew beamed out before the ship was taken.
And it's a hair up version of Janeway from the first 3 seasons..
