Glad Beltran is back. Would have thought he might not be welcome given how vocal he's been about Voyager's problems in the past. He deserves better.

Congrats to Captain Chakotay, though if he made the cut Harry had best be a captain too

Harry must stay an Ensign for the good of the galaxy. Last time he was made Captain, Janeway litterally obliterated the timeline to prevent it.

the real chekotay is dead and harry is the only survivor

jk i look forward to seeing him again

 

[Teiresias]

Honestly surprised Beltran wants anything to do with Trek, but that's neat. Maybe Harry will be a bartender on his ship's 10 Forward.

Oh man Robert Beltran is coming back? Hell yeah! Now we just need reprisals from the rest of the Voyager crew!

 

[bwahhhhh]

I unironically liked Chakotay (and Beltran) despite the lack of material, so I'm glad to see him back and apparently on good enough terms to be back

I'm surprised that so many people didn't know about Beltran's return as it "was announced" in August:

It looks like Kate Mulgrew won’t be the only Voyager castmember returning to the Star Trek franchise in the upcoming animated series Star Trek: Prodigy. Robert Beltran, who played Chakotay on Voyager, appeared at the 55-Year Mission convention in Las Vegas on Sunday and dropped some big news...

Never thought Beltran would be back. Lovely stuff!

 

[MisterHero]

[Ashodin]

Star Trek is killing it with their series imo

Discovery has adventure
Lower Decks has comedy
and now Prodigy will have children's next-level CG.
