Star Trek: Voyager - Episode Guide - Season 7

Aside from the clear awareness on the part of the Star Trek: Voyager production team, what’s markedly different about season 7? The special effects, easily better and more gorgeous than any Star Trek iteration going into Discovery. Check out Voyager trawling the remnants of a destroyed Borg cube in “Imperfection” or nearly any exterior in “Inside Man” – here Voyager signals that this show has brought the franchise a long way from The Original Series.

The strengths of Voyager season 7 are hardly limited to looks, however. Despite a last-ditch attempt to foster an interpersonal relationship between Seven and Chakotay that features the least chemistry of any Star Trek couple since... well, since Neelix and Kes, really.

1. Unimatrix Zero, Part II – Apparently, Janeway, B’Elanna and Tuvok are able to stay cool and individual despite apparent assimilation because of magic drugs – until, oddly, Tuvok loses it temporarily. Naturally, everything else goes swimmingly accord to plan and dreams may somehow defeat the wussified Borg. **

2. Imperfection – Seven’s cortical implant begins to break down, thereby triggering a quick demise for the former drone. Until a possible donor steps forth… ***

3. Drive – In a very exciting and sadly underdeveloped idea, Paris gets wind of a local starcraft race and enters the Delta Flyer. With the buildup within the episode about as palpable as that within the show, how come this script doesn’t get to the race more quickly and why didn’t the director show us more? ***

4. Repression – A few Maquis Red Shirts are killed or apparently assaulted. Chakotay likewise goes into a coma (or so we’re told; sometimes it’s very difficult to tell). Tuvok and the Doctor take excruciatingly long to figure out what’s going on. **

5. Critical Care – The EMH as anarchist: A scammer steals Voyager’s EMH and sells him to a nearby hospital on an alien world which some twisted economic beliefs Satire, suspense, hospital-based drama, lots of Robert Picardo... what more do you want? ****

6. Inside Man – If you have managed to heretofore avoid synopses of this episode and are thus blissfully spoiler-free, you’ll dig on this one all the more. Here’s what we can tell you: A hologram of the indomitable Reg Barclay is transmitted to Voyager; the Barclay hologram is to help modify Voyager (with the latest in Starfleet™ technology!) so as to immediately get the ship back into the Delta Quadrant. Seven quickly becomes suspicious of the proposed technology involved in Reg’s plan; the twists and intriguing reveals snowball thereafter. ****

7. Body and Soul – On an away mission, Harry Kim, Seven and the Doctor are captured (imagine that), and the Doctor takes refuge “inside” Seven’s circuitry, thereby triggering the Brain Uploading trope . And for much of the episode, Jeri Ryan just kills it as EMH-inhabiting-Seven – very funny stuff. ****

8. Nightingale – Kim comes to the aid of a ship whose entire command crew has been wiped out; naturally all is Not As It Seems. The plot twists here are not quite enough to detract from the very predictable “Captain Kim” storyline. Plus, Neelix gets annoyingly shoehorned in here at an even greater level of toxicity than usual. ***

9-10. Flesh and Blood, Parts I and II – The Hirogen’s use of hologram technology has resulted in holographic prey capable of turning the tables on the hunters. The Doctor sympathizes with their plight and assists on their mission to find a new world to colonize, while Janeway must deal with the consequences of (let’s face it) another shaky decision. An okay story is well too stretched, and is anyone really buying the Doctor leaving Voyager? Also, what is up with B’Elanna’s continued racism (speciesism?) toward *holographic* Cardassians? ***

11. Shattered – Head trip for Chakotay … or it would be, if this character had the depth to freak out. Instead, when he finds himself in different time periods as he moves about Voyager, it’s an easily sussed non-problem. Interesting enough stuff for a bit of a “greatest hits” episode, and the pseudo-dream team earlier Janeway and current Chakotay assemble is fun. ****

12. Lineage – After this episode, can we finally acknowledge the dangerous stupidity that is B’Elanna Torres’s self-loathing? After finding out that she is pregnant, B’Elanna becomes obsessed with eradicating all traces of Klingon DNA from her unborn daughter. And just to prove this goes well beyond hormonal imbalance due to pregnancy, she psychotically reprograms the EMH to agree with her genetic manipulation plan. All this goes back to an ostensible childhood trauma that, while sad, hardly justifies the sudden wrought plea of victimization. Awful, just awful. 0

13. Repentance – A group of guards and prisoners are rescued from a crippled prison ship and are subsequently uneasily housed on Voyager. And then the Doctor discovers that at least one may be cured of his psychotic tendencies… ***

14. Prophecy – O, those kooky Klingons! Voyager happens upon a Klingon cruiser that has traveled for 70 years on a mission to find an afore-destined spiritual leader and/or a new homeworld. When said Klingons discover the presence of B’Elanna – a pregnant B’Elanna, no less – aboard Voyager, well, that’s clearly a sign and/or omen, right? ***

15. The Void – As in “Night,” Voyager enters an apparently boundless void. Unlike that other classic Voyager-in-emptiness story, however, Neelix does not lose his marbles, nor does Janeway get all pouty/depressed. Instead, Janeway manages to band together with various other ships who’ve also been sucked into the void. A decently paced story that defies its Beckettesque surroundings. ***

16. Workforce, Part I – Head trip for the audience: The WTFs come early and often, as Janeway, Tuvok, Paris, B’Elanna and Seven all occupy jobs in a blue-collar manufacturing district. Meanwhile, Chakotay, Kim and Neelix returned to find an empty ship piloted by the Emergency Command Hologram. (Yes!) ***

17. Workforce, Part II – Chakotay and Neelix pose as (un-brainwashed) workers to infiltrate the plant floor, and ultimately the fairly easily guessable antagonist’s motivation is revealed. (Sudden thoughts: When the entire Voyager crew was rounded up, did they get Naomi Wildman, too? Did they put her to work as well? Come to think of it, where the hell has Miss Wildman been for the past 1½ seasons, anyway?) ***

18. Human Error – What does Seven do on the Holodeck? Incredibly, she imagines everyday scenarios with crew members. Unfortunately, a dinner date with holographic Chakotay almost kills her. Also, Icheb comes around to drop a few quotes from classic thinkers. **

19. Q2 – Remember when Q wanted to, likesay, get with janeway to perpetuate the species and/or create a new leader for the Continuum? Well, the son he later had with another Q is her approximated as a human teen. Naturally, Q is all to willing to ditch junior with Janeway and the crew. Though the lad’s treachery is predictable, the plot machinations thereafter keep things interesting. And a decent enough sendoff for Q. ***

20. Author, Author – Yet another clever use of the holodeck by the Voyager folks which unfortunately shifts into an inexplicable “Measure of a Man” redux with the Doctor in the Data role and Tuvok serving as Picard. **** for the first half featuring the Doctor’s purple “prose” and Paris’s ingenious response; ** for the unsatisfying legal argument that’s founded in the Doctor suddenly acting oppressed and bitchy. Overall, then it’s a ***.

21. Friendship One – Tracking a 21st-century unmanned craft now in the Delta Quadrant leaders Voyager to a planet whose citizens blame Earth for their own destructive folly. ***

22. Natural Law – Chakotay and Seven crash land a shuttle (imagine that) nearby a group of Stone Age people. In the much more watchable subplot, Paris is busted for an orbital traffic violation in the Delta Flyer and is given a penalty of mandatory piloting lessons. Again, a split rating gets this episode a ***.

23. Homestead – Neelix departs Voyager about 168 episodes too late when a colony of Talaxians is found, and he decides to stay on with his compatriots. And o, hey, Naomi Wildman sighting! ***

24. Renaissance Man – Another straightforward, fast-moving script as aliens manipulate the Doctor into posing as various members of the crew as a means to stealing Voyager’s warp core technology. ***

25-26. Endgame – Like the great majority of the Star Trek: Voyager series throughout its run, the ending of it all is so very muted, the stakes set lower and the victory smaller. Set some 10 years after Voyager’s return to Earth, 33 years after its diverted maiden voyage, Admiral Janeway conceives of a way to change the past and return the ship home 26 years more quickly (and also nullify Noami Wildman’s daughter’s existence, apparently). At least we get a penultimate dalliance with the Borg – and resolution, rushed though it is. ***

A starship is stranded in the uncharted Delta Quadrant in this fourth 'Star Trek' series, the first to feature a female captain. Here, the crew grudgingly teams with Maquis rebels to try to return to Earth after Voyager is hurtled 70,000 light-years from Federation space.

Summary [ ].

This was the final season of Star Trek: Voyager .

A multitude of familiar aliens are revisited for a final shout including the Ferengi in " Inside Man ", the Hirogen in " Flesh and Blood ", the Klingons in " Prophecy ", the Hierarchy in " The Void " and " Renaissance Man ", the Q in " Q2 ", and the Talaxians in " Homestead ".

" Drive " sees Tom Paris and B'Elanna Torres pilot the Delta Flyer in a "trans-stellar rally" before finally tying the knot, and in " Body and Soul ", Seven of Nine is forced to hide The Doctor 's program in her cybernetic implant. In " Q2 " John de Lancie returns with his errant son, desperate for the assistance of "Aunt Kathy" which completes the "Q" story arc begun in seasons two and three, and in " Author, Author ", the crew get to play in the holodeck alongside adulterated versions of themselves, when The Doctor publishes his first holonovel to less than stellar reviews.

After marrying in " Drive ", B'Elanna Torres and Tom Paris' relationship, Torres discovers that she is pregnant in " Lineage ", before contending with a group of Klingons convinced she is carrying the Klingon Messiah in " Prophecy ". Ultimately, Torres gives birth at the very moment Voyager bursts into the Alpha Quadrant from inside an exploding Borg sphere in the series finale " Endgame ".

The series finale, "Endgame" was watched by 8.8 million viewers, significantly less than the show's premiere episode, " Caretaker " with 21.3 million viewers. [1] Still, it pulled in the highest ratings since the premiere episode of the fourth season , " Scorpion, Part II ". Referring to "Endgame" as "the right kind of Star Trek programming", UPN President Tom Nunan publicly declared, " The Voyager finale bodes extremely well for Enterprise 's première next fall. " ( Star Trek Monthly  issue 82 , p. 8)

The Star Trek: Voyager Sequel You’ve Always Wanted Already Exists

The story of Star Trek: Voyager continues in Prodigy, the animated series that is as much for fans of '90s Trek as it is for a new generation of fans.

Star Trek is an ever-growing franchise, with 11 television series, plus two series of shorts and two separate film series. But despite all these spinoffs and spinoffs of spinoffs, only a couple of branches of the franchise have been given sequels. The Original Series has The Animated Series as a continuation, then its run of six sequel movies (seven, if you include Generations ), plus a prequel series ( Strange New Worlds ); and The Next Generation has four films and a sequel series ( Picard ), plus a spiritual sequel in Lower Decks . But Deep Space Nine has had to make do with a single episode of Lower Decks and Enterprise gets nothing but the occasional mention as easter eggs.

Voyager , however, has been more fortunate. The inclusion of Seven of Nine as a main character in Picard has already given at least one Voyager character the full sequel treatment, but some fans might not realize that there is another series that functions as a Voyager sequel in more ways than one— Star Trek: Prodigy .

Prodigy’s Two Audiences

One of Prodigy ’s biggest challenges has been to capture the interest of two separate target audiences. The series was produced with and also aired on the children’s channel Nickelodeon, and is aimed at children and teenagers. This also means it is aimed at new viewers, as no one assumes that children watching it will have seen any Star Trek before. The series introduces core concepts like what Starfleet is and how starships function in the Trek universe to brand new fans, and it does so very well.

However, it is also aimed at existing Star Trek fans of all ages. Season 1 of the show includes many callbacks and references to earlier Star Trek series that fans of those shows can appreciate. The episode “Crossroads,” for example, is a sequel to The Next Generation’ s “The Outrageous Okona”; “All the World’s a Stage” is a sequel to the Original Series ’ “Obsession” and the whole episode is basically an Original Series homage; and “Kobayashi” hasn’t just taken its name from the most overly referenced Star Trek story of all time ( The Wrath of Khan ), it actually features guest appearances from several past Star Trek stars who are no longer with us in the form of original audio clips (Leonard Nimoy, Nichelle Nichols, James Doohan, and Rene Auberjonois) and a guest appearance from Gates McFadden as The Next Generation ’s Doctor Crusher in newly recorded dialogue.

Prodigy Features Several Main Characters From Voyager

Most fans will be aware that one of its main characters is a hologram of Voyager ’s Captain and main character, Kathryn Janeway, played by Kate Mulgrew. Janeway primarily appears in the form of a hologram of Captain Janeway at around the age she was when Voyager was lost in the Delta Quadrant (based on her rank, as she was promoted to Admiral not long after they got back, and on her hairstyle, which matches Janeway’s famous “bun of steel” from Seasons 1-3 of Voyager ). This hologram is programmed with all of Janeway’s memories (including post- Voyager , as it would hardly make sense for her to exist like a time traveler who doesn’t know what’s going on) and with her personality, making Kathryn Janeway an integral part of Prodigy from the start.

What viewers who have not watched the series might not know, though, is that hologram Janeway is not the only character from Voyager who appears in Prodigy . As the season goes on, we also get to meet Admiral Janeway—the flesh and blood Janeway we followed for seven years on her journey through the Delta Quadrant, as she is at the time Prodigy is set, which is in the year 2383. (This is just after the setting of Lower Decks , which is set in 2380-2381, and a couple of decades before Picard , which is set primarily in 2399-2401). As the storyline develops, we get to meet another main character from Voyager as well, and a third, Robert Picardo’s Doctor, is lined up to appear in season 2.

One thing grown up fans might not realize is that Prodigy is aimed at middle grade and teenage children. It’s not like some other animated spin-offs of major franchises, like Star Wars: Young Jedi Adventures or Marvel’s Spidey and His Amazing Friends , which are aimed at pre-schoolers and which, although fun, don’t have all that much appeal to an adult audience. Prodigy may be animated, but it is much more similar to something like The Whoniverse’s The Sarah Jane Adventures ; the lead characters are children and teenagers, but the plot, tone, and themes are all sophisticated enough to be enjoyed by grown ups as well—in fact, Prodigy probably skews slightly older even than The Sarah Jane Adventures .

This means, among other things, that the adult and mentor characters—primarily Janeway—in Prodigy get as much attention and character development as the young leads. The Captain Janeway hologram has a lovely little story arc that builds to an emotional climax across the whole of season 1. But even more importantly for Voyager fans, Admiral Janeway has her own story arc going on as well. Over the course of the season, we see her reacting to a deeply personal loss, and we see some of her most notorious character traits playing out in a new setting—this Janeway may be older and rank higher, but she still leads with her heart, and she still makes mistakes sometimes when she trusts the wrong person, or jumps to conclusions. This is recognizably the character we know and love from Voyager !

Towards the end of the season and in the cliffhanger going into season 2, Prodigy also picks up on one of Voyager ’s best character relationships, which was notoriously neglected in the original show’s series finale—Janeway’s relationship with her First Officer, Chakotay (Robert Beltran). These two were one of the show’s most popular couples to “ship” romantically and the show itself dedicated at least two episodes to that idea (season 2’s “Resolutions” and Season 7’s “Shattered”) though in both cases they decided to stay just friends. Chakotay was paired with Seven of Nine towards the end of season 7, but that pairing was so unpopular with both fans and even the actors that it has never been mentioned again, and a suggested appearance from an alternate timeline version of Chakotay in Picard season 2 was turned down by Beltran .

Chakotay has made several guest appearances in Prodigy , though, including a flashback sequence that shows him and Admiral Janeway hugging, and there is a moment towards the end of the season in which Janeway is seen reaching out towards his image while he is missing in action. Since Prodigy is aimed at teenagers, not young children, it’s free to explore romantic storylines in a family-friendly way, and one of its recurring threads is the somewhat romantic tension between its main character Dal R’El (Brett Gray) and Gwyndala (Ella Purnell), so there is hope for Janeway/Chakotay shippers yet.

Whether or not the show intends to develop Janeway and Chakotay’s relationship romantically, it is certainly bringing their friendship to the front and center of its storyline—he cliffhanger which ended season 1 is built entirely around Admiral Janeway’s determination to find and rescue Chakotay. In other words, all of the tension around the end of the first season of Prodigy is about this central Voyager relationship and is carrying on a Voyager plot thread. Thank goodness Netflix has picked up season 2 after it was dropped by Paramount+, as having that particular carrot dangled in front of Voyager fans only to have it taken away again was just too cruel!

Prodigy Is Also a Sequel to Voyager’s Plot and Story Arcs

Prodigy also functions as a continuation of Voyager ’s central concept and is able to pick up on other aspects of its story. In Voyager ’s pilot episode, the ship was stranded in the Delta Quadrant, a distant part of the galaxy more than 70,000 light years from Earth, a distance it would take “more than 75 years” to cover, even going at top speed all the time. The series followed the ship’s journey back home, combining Trek’ s traditional theme of exploration with episodes centered around trying to find a quicker way to get back. It featured a crew that had absorbed a non-Starfleet Maquis ship (a resistance group fighting the Cardassians) alongside the Starfleet crew.

The show became notorious for using an episodic style similar to The Original Series and The Next Generation rather than leaning more on its story arcs like Deep Space Nine as many fans would have preferred, and the concept of two conflicting crews working together was largely ignored after a handful of episodes in season 1. However, the ideas were still there, driving the show. There were occasional stories looking at the conflicts between crewmembers in later seasons, like season 7’s “Repression,” and although the format was primarily Space Anomaly of the Week, the journey home was a story that developed across all seven seasons, with multiple episodes focused on attempts to get home more quickly.

The Delta Quadrant setting also allowed Voyager to put a lot of focus on exploration and Original Series -style Planets of the Week, introducing viewers to lots of new alien species that the show added to the Star Trek universe. The Talaxians, the Kazon, the Hirogen, the Vidiians, and the Malon are probably the most memorable, but there were many others, as well as many interactions with Delta Quadrant-based Next Generation baddies the Borg .

The core concept of Prodigy follows on directly from Voyager ’s. In the pilot episode, we meet our motley crew of young aliens in the Tars Lamora prison colony in the Delta Quadrant. They are all of different races and one of them, Gwyndala, is initially an antagonist to the others, just like Voyager ’s two opposing crews.

By the end of the initial two-parter, our heroes have got their hands on the USS Protostar , a prototype for a small Starfleet ship that can travel much, much faster than any others we have seen. The ship was sent out to return to the Delta Quadrant, captained by Chakotay and accompanied by the Captain Janeway hologram, because they are the experts in that part of the galaxy and already have some contacts there, but it was attacked and lost before being found by Dal R’El and the others.

The Show Is Full of Voyager References and Easter Eggs

The action kicks off in the Delta Quadrant, picking up the pieces from a mission that was specifically designed to follow up on Voyager ’s journey. Over the course of season 1, we have seen appearances from the Kazon, the Borg, and the Brenari (a telepathic species whose refugees were helped by Voyager ’s crew in season 5’s “Counterpoint”), and we have heard references to the Talaxians as well as a more obscure Voyager species, such as the Sakari (the species living underground in season 3’s “Blood Fever”). Janeway has even mentioned the events of Voyager ’s most infamous episode, one so unpopular on its initial release that fans thought it had been written out of the continuity, but which is actually really rather fun and entertaining and is now probably one of its best known hours—she mentions that she was “once turned into a salamander,” a reference to her and Lt. Paris’s (Robert Duncan McNeil) transformation into lizards before abandoning their lizard babies in season 2’s “Threshold.”

The writers have even given the Protostar a new feature to fix one of Voyager ’s most notorious plot holes. The USS Voyager was lost in the Delta Quadrant with minimal resources, and several episodes revolved around the search for deuterium fuel. And yet somehow, despite numerous shuttlecraft crashes, many of which were specifically described as having destroyed the shuttlecraft, the ship never seemed to run out of shuttles.

Starfleet ships of this era are generally equipped with two shuttlecraft, as was Voyager , plus they had Neelix’s (Ethan Phillips) ship, which they hardly ever used. In season 5, they built their own shuttle, the Delta Flyer, which they proceeded to crash just as often as the other shuttles, if not more so. And yet they never ever ran out. Entire websites were devoted to counting how many shuttlecraft Voyager had lost and apparently replaced with identical shuttles. Were the crewmembers Janeway didn’t like trapped in the bowels of the ship somewhere, building and re-building shuttles? Why did they build them exactly the same every time, and keep giving them the same names? How were they constantly running out of fuel, having to ration replicator food, forcing everyone to eat Neelix’s hair pasta and leola root stew because they didn’t have energy to spare, but they were able to keep up a constant stream of replicated shuttles? This mystery has never been solved, but the writers of Prodigy thought ahead—the Protostar has a replicator specifically designed to replicate shuttlecraft-sized vehicles.

Voyager is not the only Star Trek series referenced in Prodigy . The show is absolutely bursting with references, easter Eggs, and follow-ups to stories, species, and tech from all of the pre-2017 Star Trek series. But its plot, setup, and story and character development make it not just a “spiritual sequel” to Star Trek: Voyager —it is literally a sequel series to Voyager , continuing Voyager ’s plot threads and further developing its setting. If you’re a Star Trek: Voyager fan and you haven’t yet watched Prodigy , you’re missing out.

Star Trek: Prodigy season 3 hits Netflix on July 1.

1 Star Trek: Voyager Episode Has 3 Sneaky First Contact Easter Eggs

• Star Trek: Voyager's season 4 episode "Day of Honor" featured 3 small Easter eggs from Star Trek: First Contact.
• The episode reused EV suits from the film and referenced specific dialogue related to the Borg.
• Voyager's writers incorporated First Contact Easter eggs into Voyager season 4 to honor the film and tie the two projects together.

An early episode of Star Trek: Voyager season 4 had three small Easter eggs from Star Trek: First Contact . First Contact was the second of four movies featuring the cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation, and premiered in November 1996 during the middle of Voyager season 3 . Although the two projects were about two very different points on the Star Trek timeline , the film and the show had several important connections to each other.

Voyager seasons 3 and 4 built on lore First Contact had established about the Borg and the Borg Queen, and First Contact even featured two members of Voyager 's cast of characters , Robert Picardo and Ethan Phillips, as side characters. These were the biggest crossovers between the two projects, but given how much Voyager season 4 owed First Contact for its Borg storylines, the series didn't stop there . An early episode of season 4 included some surprising First Contact Easter eggs.

Every Star Trek Movie Ranked (From Worst To Best)

There have been thirteen Star Trek movies over the last 40 years, but which is the boldest big-screen adventure to go where no man has gone before?

Star Trek: Voyagers Day Of Honor Has 3 First Contact References

"day of honor" relied heavily on first contact.

Voyager season 4, episode 3, "Day of Honor" focused on Tom Paris (Robert Duncan McNeill) and B'Elanna Torres (Roxann Dawson) stuck out in space in EV suits after a shuttle explosion, and these suits were where Voyager and First Contact came together . Not only were Tom and B'Elanna's specific suits reused from the film, but Tom said the words " first contact " while flirting with B'Elanna, and suggested that they " interplex the comm systems " to contact Voyager . In First Contact , the suits are worn to stop the Borg from creating an interplexing beacon to reach out to reinforcements.

"Day of Honor" is notable for being the episode where Tom and B'Elanna finally begin a romantic relationship, one that would continue for the rest of Star Trek: Voyager 's run and result in their marriage and the birth of their daughter in the finale.

Likewise, B'Elanna stated that zero-gravity environments made her feel " sick to my stomach ," echoing a similar sentiment expressed by Worf (Michael Dorn) during First Contact . Having B'Elanna as another Klingon character say the same thing as Worf was a funny coincidence , and also another small way to tie the two projects together. Although these references in "Day of Honor" are all relatively minor, the amount of them is noticeable and raises questions about why Voyager would tie this particular episode of First Contact so heavily.

Why Voyager Referenced Star Trek: First Contact So Much In Day Of Honor

Voyager didn't choose first contact to reference arbitrarily.

As previously stated, Voyager season 4 and First Contact didn't air too far apart. First Contact had premiered less than a year before "Day of Honor", and interviews with Voyager 's creative team at the time indicated that the film was heavily on their minds during the transition between seasons 3 and 4 . Besides the fact that creative teams for Star Trek movies and TV shows often overlap, Voyager 's writers were also keeping in mind a lot of things First Contact established about the Borg so that they could incorporate the most up-to-date facts into the show.

With all this in mind, Star Trek: Voyager 's writers seem to have simply added a few fun First Contact Easter eggs for eagle-eyed audiences to pick up on.

Although "Day of Honor" itself wasn't as heavily Borg-related as the previous season 4 episodes, it's fairly clear from the dialogue that First Contact was still at the forefront of Voyager 's creative teams' minds. This was probably helped by the fact that the EV suits were reused from movie to show, creating a more tangible link between the two . With all this in mind, Star Trek: Voyager 's writers seem to have simply added a few fun First Contact Easter eggs for eagle-eyed audiences to pick up on.

Anthony and Laurie start with the surprising news that the Skydance/Paramount talks are back on and heating up. They also discuss the latest on Trek movies on the big screen (including Chris Pine’s comments about playing an older Kirk) as well as the small one, Celia Rose Gooding’s thoughts on Uhura in season 3 of Strange New Worlds , Mike McMahan’s tidbits about season 5 of  Lower Decks , and Rosario Dawson’s revelation that she had to turn down a Star Trek role to be in  Ahsoka . Then it’s time to dig into the very long-awaited season 2 of Star Trek: Prodigy . Tony and Laurie review the first five episodes, looking at them individually and as an arc and celebrating that the show is finally back. They wrap up with Neil DeGrasse Tyson on if scientists have discovered Dyson Spheres (like from TNG “Relics”), and Laurie’s guest appearance on the Deep Space Love podcast to talk “Rejoined.”

Recap/Review: ‘Star Trek: Prodigy’ Finds A New Perspective In “Is There In Beauty No Truth?” [Episode 208]

@Anthony and @Laurie, do you think that the Trek prequel movie is really going into production this year, as Anthony suggests it has to if they are going to meet their announced release date? What percent chance do you give that actually happening?

Tony is much more tuned into the business side of things than I am (obviously), so he’s better qualified to guess at this one.

What we have so far are these writing announcements, and one post on Box Office Mojo for a Beyond sequel with no release date. And the cone of silence has (mostly) been in place since then.

There are some very public activities that have to happen when making a movie. Financing needs to be secured. Studio space blocked out. The production design folks are doing their works months in advance of principle photography. The legal guys are TM’ing everything they can. Buy the website domains. Gotta build the damn sets. So far, nothing. It’s not like the talent is getting calls and emails today, that production starts next Tuesday…..

I’m in wait and see mode. And I’m batting 1.000 so far on calling out that what they say and what they’re doing are very different.

I don’t believe I said they would be going into production. That would have to be next year, but by the end of this year they would likely have to at least start doing some things like hiring key people and of course casting if they want to go into pre-production early next year. Some of this can be done under the radar but casting tends to get out there in the trades, especially for major roles. A lot of this depends on if they’re aiming for a summer or a fall release in 2026.

I literally said the same thing a few weeks ago on another thread and something needs to happen by the end of the year. There’s five months to get in gear but per usual we been down this transwarp corridor to many times now.

You would think for a movie that’s supposed to be out in two years time now and supposedly with a writer and director that they would be talking up the movie at this point. Throw out bits and pieces when production could start, hints of the story, casting updates etc etc.

Instead it’s going down the exact same road as the others. They make these announcements they are starting it and then complete silence about anything else until it just withers away completely. So yeah my faith isn’t good but it hasn’t been for literally years now.

It’s mind boggling how they keep doing this over and over again.

Lower. The . Cone of silence!!

Years from now, when it no longer matters, I hope that somebody writes the definitive inside story of this era of Trek movie false alarms, missteps and course changes. I cannot fathom how this has been allowed to go on for so long; talk about illogical!

It took ten years between the end of TOS and the creation of the first movie, so there is precedent for indecision and false starts killing many Trek movie ideas.

What is different now is that the entire movie industry is in turmoil as theatrical films ebb in their importance relative to streaming. Paramount has a robust streaming Trek machine now, so the relative importance of getting a theatrical film together seems much less of a priority than it did in the oughts when Trek was off television. Star Wars seems to be going through the same pattern.

I think it’s a great idea that you aren’t covering all episodes at once. Just because all episodes are out at once doesn’t mean folks are able to watch it all at once. Thankfully my kids got into it and we ended up watching it all in a couple of days.

I’m conscience of overall spoilers but did anyone pick up how much the overall arch of the series had strong parallels with a relatively recent beta canon novel story line. I’d would like to hear Anthony’s and Laurie’s perspective on it in the podcast as it comes up.

I confess I am not up on beta canon! I read the novels as a kid but then stopped for decades, only checking out a few here and there… mostly the autobiography series.

All I’ll say is I enjoyed Dénes House’s review of them on the site ;-)

If its the one I think you’re referring to, I noticed that too. Of course, this one has a much happier ending than the novel trilogy.

Its so weird hearing Tony and Laurie speculate about what will happen next when so many of us have already seen the entire season. I guess there isn’t really a better way to do it though.

Tony/Laurie,

If I could pitch an idea for the next Kelvin-verse film, I’d live to see that cast in an adaptation of Garfield and Judith Reeves-Steven’s Prime Directive novel. It’s one of the best TOS novel and it’s perfect for a final Kelvin-verse mission.

I’m enjoying Prodigy. It feels like classic Star Trek. It’s the post-nemesis show I wanted. It is amazing what these writers can do with 23 minutes. They fit more character development plot, and science fiction concepts than most one hour shows. I’m not a binger, I like to savor the episodes too so I’m glad you two are doing it this way.

Unfortunately, while looking at google news, I saw a spoiler, made me mad, so be careful.

Have a great week!

There are so many parallels this season with Dal/Gwyn and J/C that it actively kills me. I will say more when you get further. Suffice it to say that these writers understand EXACTLY what they are doing.

Season 2, episode 5, picks up after the devastating events of the Battle at Rook's Rest, with Jacaerys taking it upon himself to meet with the Freys at The Twins to secure their allegiance to Rhaenyra (Emma D'Arcy). The episode ends with Jacaerys earning his mother's respect and, seemingly, a place at her war-planning table.

In a recent interview with TheWrap , Collett explains how House of the Dragon season 2, episode 5, leaves things for Jacaerys. The actor touches on the evolving dynamic between Jacaerys and his mother, Rhaenyra, and his character's state of mind. Check out his comment below when asked about how Jacaerys sees the fallout from Rook's Rest and his desire to play a bigger role in the war:

I think it scares him obviously, but the one thing he wants is revenge for Luke. I think he’s happy after Episode 5 that he’s been given this sort of seal of approval from Rhaenyra when she says ‘I’m proud of you Jace.’ I think he’s less an anger-heavy, sword-heavy at the end of Episode 5 because he feels like now he’s kind of welcomed into the council. Before he felt like he wasn’t welcome anywhere so he was thinking “I need to fight now because that’s the only way that people are going to believe that I’m actually capable of doing something.”

Jacaerys Could Be Crucial To The Rest Of House Of The Dragon Season 2

How season 2 episode 5 changes harry collett's role in the show.

After Rhaenys (Eve Best) and Meleys meet their end at Rook's Rest, Rhaenyra finds herself down one crucial ally. Rhaenys herself was a strong fighter and a level-headed advisor, and Meleys was the Blacks' most experienced dragon. With Daemon (Matt Smith) off at Harrenhal seemingly planning for his own ascension to the throne, Rhaenyra was in need of a new confidant and ally from the House of the Dragon cast of characters, and Jacaerys is now poised to become just that.

Though Rhaenyra previously saw Jacaerys only as her son, the House of the Dragon season 2 episode 5 ending suggests he could become an important figure in her council. After Jacaerys takes it upon himself to secure an alliance with House Frey, the episode's final moment see him and Rhaenyra devise a plan to bring more dragon-riders to their cause. There remain a number of riderless dragons around Westeros, after all.

Silverwing and Vermithor are two of the biggest dragons in the Dance of the Dragons, and have an important role in House of the Dragon's story.

While there are no more Targaryens Rhaenyra can call upon, she and Jacaerys decide to attempt to recruit more Velaryons to their cause as dragon-riders. The remaining episodes of season 2, then, could see Jacaerys serving as a recruiter of sorts as he bolsters the Blacks' forces , and potentially also becoming a fighter himself as the war escalates. It remains to be seen how exactly Jacaerys will factor into the remainder of House of the Dragon season 2, but he is now poised to play a bigger and more important role.

New episodes of House of the Dragon season 2 air on Sundays at 9 p.m. ET on HBO.

Mayor of Kingstown Season 3, Episode 7 Review: The Show Will Never Be the Same

The following contains major spoilers for Mayor of Kingstown Season 3, Episode 7, "Marya Was Here," now streaming on Paramount+. It also contains discussion of human trafficking and sexual assault.

Mayor of Kingstown Season 3, Episode 7, "Marya Was Here" is the Paramount+ show's toughest episode to stomach since the Season 1 prison riot. It's an episode that goes well beyond the series' usual grim plot points into something universally cruel, and on top of that, it destroys one of the show's best relationships. While terrible things happen all the time in Kingstown, they're rarely as brutal as this.

"Marya Was Here" centers around a piece of information that Iris gave Mike earlier: that the Russians are trafficking a group of young women into the United States. The title is a reference to one of them, as young Marya writes that phrase on the back of a bus seat shortly before she and everyone else aboard are murdered. The remainder of the episode is about how all of Kingstown -- no matter what side they're on -- reacts to the crime, and it ends with one major relationship in shambles.

How Mayor of Kingstown Discusses Human Trafficking

Season 3, episode 7 is difficult to watch, 'nobody is safe': mayor of kingstown's taylor handley on kyle's season 3 battle.

Mayor of Kingstown star Taylor Handley tells CBR how Season 3 raises the stakes of the Paramount+ show for Kyle McLusky, his wife Tracy and their son.

Mayor of Kingstown has never shied away from dark and painful subject matter -- such as the storyline of Kareem Moore being assaulted during the Season 1 prison riot and his struggles afterward, or Iris' experiences in prostitution. But "Marya Was Here" has the hardest sequence of events the show has seen in a long while, because it opens by making the audience watch not only the fear and discomfort of the girls being trafficked, but the events leading up to their deaths. The viewer is essentially another passenger on the bus, and as soon as the bus is stopped by construction equipment, it's very easy to tell that something is going to go even more wrong. The moment of the bus being tossed into the river is gasp-worthy.

Human trafficking is one of the significant stories in Mayor of Kingstown Season 3, as it was also discussed in Season 3, Episode 5, "Iris." The writing team deserves credit for being clear on the subject but also not sensationalizing it. It's terrible and is depicted as such, but "Marya Was Here" pulls its punches when it needs to. For example, the show cuts away to the credits after the bus goes into the river; the fans aren't made to watch characters die. There are grim details that come out after -- such as showing how some of the victims were holding hands when they passed -- but this plot twist could have easily been handled much worse.

Konstantin: I know you've had your share of trauma and I want to spare you any more.

It's also important that the key characters' rivalries and problems take a back seat to focus on these 14 deaths and their effects. There are still other things that happen in this episode, and those things are significant, but they're secondary to what is a brutal and heartbreaking crime because everyone can recognize that. No matter which side they're on, they still have that basic empathy for these young women who weren't even adults yet. Emma Laird's performance is particularly standout because of Iris' backstory with human trafficking, particularly in the scene where she insists on watching TV news reports about the crash. Yet credit is also due to Jeremy Renner and to Necar Zadegan, who's able to remind viewers just how much Evelyn cares in a city that rarely cares about her. This plot is a massive gut punch, but it's handled well all the way around.

Mayor of Kingstown Affirms Who Its Next Bad Guy Is

Tracy mclusky finds herself in real trouble, stephen king praises 'badass' jeremy renner's paramount+ series.

Legendary author Stephen King highly praises Jeremy Renner for his work on the Paramount crime drama from Taylor Sheridan.

Season 3, Episode 7, "Marya Was Here" also affirms what viewers picked up on back in Episode 5: there's a rapist among the women's prison staff, and Tracy McLusky has crossed him. Corrections officer Will Breen is chummy when he just happens to see Tracy in the parking lot in the morning, but by night when they just happen to cross paths again, his demeanor has totally changed. He knows she's gone to the warden and he physically attacks her against her car. Guest star Matthew Del Negro is very good at being menacing; he also played the villain Pat Pridgen on Chicago Fire and the deceptive Danny Loomis in Goliath . But after this episode, there is absolutely no doubt that his Mayor of Kingstown character is a very bad guy who needs to be taken down.

It's wonderful to see Nishi Munshi get more screen time and a meaty storyline, yet it's still too early to figure out how this problem will be solved, or where exactly the plot is going. Corrupt prison guards are nothing new on this series (which the episode reminds fans of when Raphael's woes in Anchor Bay continue), but will Tracy take this fight on her own? That would be a very Mariam-esque thing to do, which would in turn feel appropriate, since Mariam's death in the premiere has hung over the whole season. Tracy could become the new Mariam. Or will Kyle become a factor in this story and what could he do? There's going to be the obvious tension when Kyle finds out what's going on, but how much will he interject once he finds out? He will definitely want to, but Tracy might not want him to, or he could make matters worse. There are a lot of different ways this plot could play out and only a few episodes left to pick a lane.

However, when looked at alongside the Marya storyline, it makes Mayor of Kingstown even more heartbreaking. The two main plots of the hour involve violence against women and how they're dehumanized. Every woman in the main cast -- Tracy, Iris and Evelyn -- gets at least one scene to show their strength, but they're the exceptions to the rule at the moment.

Are Mike and Bunny Truly Done in Mayor of Kingstown?

Season 3, episode 7 ruins their friendship, ‘time is life’: mayor of kingstown actor tobi bamtefa on bunny’s season 3 threat.

Mayor of Kingstown's Tobi Bamfeta tells CBR if fans should worry about Bunny surviving Season 3 - and if Jeremy Renner's Mike could become an enemy.

Underneath the tragedy of the mass murder is a show-altering plot swerve, as Mayor of Kingstown turns Mike McLusky and Bunny Washington from friends to enemies . Mike starts the episode on a tough note when he orders the police to raid the Colombians who are supplying Bunny's crew with drugs, as a way of fulfilling Merle Callahan's demand to attack Bunny without actually doing it. That's one problem, but when Ian puts the idea in Mike's head that Bunny may be responsible for the bus incident -- since it's a huge blow to the Russians -- things hit the point of no return.

Mike McLusky: Am I just blind to Bunny Washington?

Ian Ferguson: You got to ask the question, Mike, you know the answer.

Mike follows Bunny from Rhonda's wake and brings up the bus attack, which is understandable given that Bunny is openly at war with the whole Aryan-Russian alliance. But Bunny, who's always operated by a certain moral code, is massively offended by the fact that his friend would accuse him of killing more than a dozen innocent teenagers. That's the final straw and he explicitly tells Mike that they are no longer on the same side: "We cross again, only one of us [is] going to walk away." There's absolutely no room for interpretation in his tone, either. So is this the end for Bunny and Mike, and by extension, a potential end for Mayor of Kingstown ?

The friendship between Bunny and Mike is the emotional core of the series, even more than the familial relationships between the McLuskys. The show can't survive without their dynamic, because not only is it the most powerful, but it also represents the ideas of the series. So much is tangled up in Bunny, Mike and the grey area in which they work together. But that being said, there's no reason Season 3 can't really screw that up before bringing them back together. Being accused of such a heinous crime is not something to shrug off -- and Bunny's reaction is exactly what the viewer (and probably Mike) expects. That's the catalyst that's going to drive Mayor of Kingstown Season 3 across the finish line, and the last blow that makes "Marya Was Here" a knockout.

Mayor of Kingstown streams Sundays on Paramount+ .

Mayor of Kingstown Season 3, Episode 7

The city of Kingstown is rocked by a mass murder. Tracy's complaint to the warden gets her in serious trouble. Bunny has some harsh words for Mike after Mike accuses him of something unforgivable.

• The most emotionally impactful episode of the season.
• Excellent performances, particularly from the female leads.
• Sensitive subjects are handled respectfully.
• The demise of Bunny and Mike's friendship could spoil the show.
