This was included in the Star Trek Day content, but released separately a couple of days ago.

It’s nice to see Discovery getting a lot of love in this. It also really shows how great so many of Discovery’s vfx heavy scenes have been.

    I’m not a huge fan of IP milking but I gotta say I like what they’ve done so far with like lower decks and Strange New Worlds

      With you on both. Strange New Worlds feels like real Star Trek, and Lower Decks has far more heart to it than I’d have expected.

    It is nice to see Discovery, and my favorites of the recent Star Treks – PIC and LD, getting some love. Paramount continuing to pretend that there is no such thing as Prodigy is annoying. Prodigy is not my cup of tea, but I support other Star Trek fans who enjoy the show.

      The video is from Paramount Plus, who don’t currently have the rights to Prodigy, even though the parent company does. If they included it in their promotional material it would effect their ability to either sell those rights to someone else or write the show off for tax purposes.

      It’s convoluted and stupid, but running your streaming service as a separate entity is how all the studios have it rigged up. Accounting ftw

        Convoluted, indeed. At this point, Paramount+ has zero say in Prodigy. Maybe Paramount+ even mentioning the existence of Prodigy might mess up their write-off (I’m saying this with zero sympathy for the “creative” accounting, just to be clear). I have no idea where Nickelodeon even factors in the Prodigy rights situation. Paramount allowed a sneak peek at Prodigy season 2, episode 1 before, WOW - Prodigy Second Season Sneak Peek!. All in all, a very frustrating situation. It seems the best we can do is keep Prodigy’s name alive online and in letters.

    I liked 99.9% of SNW, and look forward to more seasons of it, everything else, in humble opinion is unwatchable trash

    Member Captain Pike? Member Spock? Member the Original Series? It’s a new era of trek, one where we are literally afraid of moving the timeline forward and giving you anything but retreads of existing characters, hamfisted attempts to mash the JJ movies into continuity for some reason, and space Family Guy.
