Now that we're starting, I want to address the obvious. Star Trek: Prodigy is making a comeback! And it's all thanks to all of you who brought it back. What you accomplished hasn't been seen since the time of TOS. Star Trek is a legacy that belongs to two entities: Gene Roddenberry and the fans. That's it.
