Or he's a Shmoo from Li'l Abner.
Does that mean Daisy Mae is canon?
The score for the premiere episode is out now on iTunes or at Spotify and the other music streaming services.
I watched it and I LOVED it. It’s visually amazing and the music was absolutely perfect. The story is cool thus far and I loved the continuity with showing a Kazon and they mentioned the Window of Dreams which was a star cluster mentioned in an episode of Voyager. My only concern/question which others here have mentioned before: since this takes place in the Delta Quadrant, how the hell did a Medusan, a Catian, a Lurian (Morn’s species) and a Tellarite all end up there, so far away from Federation space? As long as that is explained at some point, all is good. I can’t wait to see more. And the fact that they took a species (Brikar) from the Peter David (writer genius!) novels is simply awesome. I cannot wait to see more.
The bigger question is how the Kazon got there. The Window of Dreams was from season 7, at which point Voyager had made it more than halfway home. So it's closer to the Federation than it is to Kazon space.
Ah, interesting. There may be a method here...meeting halfway between the Delta Quadrant seen in VGR and the familiar Alpha/Beta area...covering the regions of space that Voyager skipped past in the finale.
I just saw the first episode and It was fun.
So, let's say it's 20-30,000 light years away. Edge of the delta quadrant.
How did federation species get there?
How did the ship get there? Some type of faster than warp drive.?

There are Hirogen relay stations that close to the Beta and Alpha Quadrants. I wonder if we'll see one of them?
I think the show is much further in the future than the 2383 date claimed in advance press. The Protostar is clearly more advanced than Voyager, and holo-Janeway means it must've been launched after Janeway got home, but the implication in the pilot was that the ship had been buried in the asteroid for a very long time. The Diviner said he'd been seeking it for a long time, apparently longer than Gwyn had been alive, since she knows nothing of it. And a far-future setting would explain the greater intermixing of species.
I presume though there will be a section in the advertised time with Chakotay and the like looking for the Protostar, and we will only find out a reveal regarding the time frame later in the series.
I always wondered why the Voyager crew never followed the network back to the Alpha Quadrant. Sure the network was disabled, but the relays could have served as good guideposts back to familiar space. I also don't buy the Hirogen controlling much of it. Maintaining something that vast would have required a lot of time and resources that I would think the Hirogen would rather spend on their "hunts".
Because they already had all the guideposts they needed -- stars and galaxies. It's impossible to get "lost in space," because there are no horizons, so you can see astronomical landmarks such as pulsars and other galaxies from anywhere (that isn't obscured by dust or nebulosity), and navigate by the heavens just as ancient mariners did. "Caretaker" got this right -- when they first got stranded in the Delta Quadrant, it took the computer seconds to determine their exact position.
So they always knew exactly what direction home was in. That was never the problem. The problem was purely one of distance.
And resource management & acquisition to cover said large 70,000+ ly distance.
Yes, that's implicit, since it's an issue because of the distance.
In space, I feel you can never have too many signposts
Beyond that though, I felt it strange that you had this relay network that spanned the corners of 2-3 galactic quadrants, and it just got ignored after being disabled. I always felt it was an remarkable piece of engineering, on par with the Dyson Sphere from "Relics". Then again, that never got mentioned after the episode so maybe I shouldn't be surprised.
Assuming this show does take place after "Endgame", you might also have people using any surviving bits of the Borg Transwarp network or any Tranwarp conduits, if the Borg are not fully in control of them.
