I wasn’t expecting Wesley, but I enjoyed how he was used this season. Considering he was able to fling the Enterprise to a different galaxy with his mind, I didn’t see anything in this season that bothered me regarding his “powers”.
I’m not sure exactly what I thought was going to be behind the mid 20th century vault door, but it certainly wasn’t Wesley Crusher. I didn’t hate it either. Was the sweater that he was wearing one that he wore in TNG? It seemed very familiar.
The Loom are terrifying. We’ve seen “getting erased completely from history” before with the Krenim time weapon (VOY: Year of Hell), but this version seemed so much worse to me.
I loved the bit regarding all the separate realities, including the “oops you aren’t supposed to know that” regarding the mycelial plane.
Seeing Janeway take on the Loom by herself in a shuttle reminded me of her taking on the macrovirus in VOY: Macrocosm.
What a ride these two episodes were.
A few of my favorite moments:
I do have a question though. I have been getting “these two people seem to want to get together vibes” in between Chakotay and Janeway starting in the episode “Cracked Mirror”. Was this just wishful thinking on my part?
Speaking of relationships, were holo-Janeway and the Doctor flirting?
I want to make sure that I understood what was happening in the scene where the turbo lift door opens and they see an alternate reality… Those were the Enderprizians from “All the World’s a Stage”, right?
Since we never got a mirror universe episode in Voyager (not counting “Living Witness”), I enjoyed Mulgrew and Beltran getting to give us a quick glimpse of what it would have been like.
I loved the callback from Chakotay regarding the events from the VOY episode “Shattered”.
I will say that the Voyager-A is a beautiful ship and I hope we get to see more of her.
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.
This show was on every day after school on my local PBS channel. I watched it well into high school because I loved it so much. I love how it introduced you to a ton of different stories you may never have heard of otherwise.
I would begrudgingly accept a novel series like we got with Voyager post getting back to Earth. I know we are getting Star Fleet Academy, but I want this time in the universe to be greatly expanded on.
I am going to miss this show. My barometer for trek finales is Endgame and I would say I liked this one much better.
The inside of the device was beautiful. I guess we will never find out where it actually came from, but I enjoyed what we did get
I have seen so many callbacks and connections in various Trek media thanks to Jörg Hillebrand’s posts. I would highly recommend him as a follow on the Fediverse.
What a neat story.
Seeing Discovery firing weapons in the distance while heading towards the dreadnought from the perspective of the dreadnought’s shuttle bay … I just loved that.
If I ever make it up to Canada (and it is open to the public!) I will absolutely. I looked up photos and while it is obviously much smaller, it is a very beautiful library.
I’ve seen a lot of disagreement but I agree with you.
When Discovery was first announced, I thought the Crossfield class ship was the ugliest thing I had ever seen. At this point in time, I can’t believe we only have two episodes to go. I’ve become more attached to Discovery than I was with Voyager. It is probably wishful thinking, but I hope we see Discovery and her crew once in a while in the Starfleet Academy show, maybe a straight to Paramount+ movie in a few years.
I really enjoyed season one and the ending to season 4 is probably my most favorite set of episodes in all of Star Trek. I feel like the shows wings are getting clipped right after they grew.
I enjoyed this episode immensely and was on the edge of my seat for most of it. I thought Burnham’s plan to fool the Breen was pretty ingenious.
I’ve also found my new favorite place in the Trek universe. Imagine getting to explore that library.
I really enjoyed this episode. It was nice knowing that the scientists from the mirror universe were able to make it to Starfleet.
I am curious about the ISS Enterprise however. Does the problem that Georgiou had due to the drift between the two universes not effect the ship? Outside of wear and tear from sitting in that nebula, it looked fine.
Could you imagine if that is the long con here? I’d love that.
Hah. I love this thought.
I was hoping that we would get a Calypso reference when that music started playing. Oh well. I still felt the episode was a super fun ride.
I got to visit as a junior high age kid. It was an amazing experience.
I don’t have an answer to your pronoun question, but hearing somebody else’s voice in the log jumped out at me as well. If it has happened before, it is pretty rare.
