Didn’t see this coming. Prodigy EPs the Brothers Hageman have dropped a scene from season two, episode one.

And it’s on the official StarTrek.com site.

My spouse is muttering ‘makes no sense at all…’

I’m enjoying just having gorgeous new Prodigy animation to see. And those of you who love a great flyby of a new ship - get ready!

Here is hoping for a camo by Ensign Harry Kim.

At least in the STO continuity, Kim is a captain by this point, commanding the Rhode Island.

This is earlier, mid 2380s, not the 25th century when Picard and STO take place.

@[email protected] would have the best estimate of the date.

But if Kim got the catch up promotions he well deserved, he could be a lieutenant commander by this point. We’ll see.

The year at this point would be late 2384 or very early 2385, so about 6 years since Voyager returned home. It’s been some time since the Season 1 finale. We last left the kids in the 61000s as far as Stardates were concerned, which is 2384, and since the Romulan Evacuation is still a going concern it’s before the Mars Attack on April 5, 2385.

I'ma be honest, I want him to either be relatively high-ranking (Commander and Janeway's XO maybe?) or puzzlingly still an ensign. No middle ground.

A full commander an XO five or so years after Voyager’s return seems quick, but not impossible.

@StillPaisleyCat @eva_sieve

In a world where Kirk made Captain before graduating the academy anything is indeed possible!

My 8-year-old daughter loves Prodigy, and we've started dipping into Voyager (after 50,000 rewatches of every Lower Decks episode except the Billups one), and she loves it, but every time Harry Kim is on screen she lets out this teenagery exaggerated groan of annoyance (I've never connected more with another human being). I'm so hoping he shows up on Prodigy because it would be hilarious how angry she'd be.
