Of all the possible references to legacy characters they could have made, Edward Larkin was not on my Bingo card...
All in all, I think it's a pretty good setup for a season. Time travel nonsense is a pretty big swing for a kids' show, so I'm curious to see how it all plays out.
I think making Dal have a hard time adjusting to student life and not being at the centre of the action makes a lot of sense. As much as he clearly has room to grow, I wonder if there will ever be an opportunity for Starfleet to tailor their material to his personal learning style.
I probably should have made comments while watching the episodes, as I'm sure I am forgetting a lot of details, but Prodigy seems to have picked up where it left off with regard to the quality of its episodes.
I will say that the Voyager-A is a beautiful ship and I hope we get to see more of her.
People seem to have really strong opinions about this show, seeing how every episode discussion is evenly up- and downvoted before anybody have even had a chance to watch or comment 🙄
A disturbing number of people seem to be unwilling or unable to curate their feed.
The downvotes are all coming from accounts on other instances, which as @ValueSubtracted@startrek.website suggested, makes us think it's most likely people browsing "All" and not appreciating seeing twenty discussion posts (not that that justifies it).
