With Star Trek: Lower Decks season 2 done, Tony and Laurie round up interviews with creator Mike McMahan about what to expect in season 3. They ponder the possibilities of which Soong Brent Spiner will be playing on Picard season 2, what surprises Anson Mount and the Strange New Worlds team have in store, and clues about what’s happening in season 4 from the Discovery trailer. Then they play excerpts from the Star Trek: Prodigy interviews at New York Comic Con, hearing from the Hageman brothers, and cast members Kate Mulgrew, Ella Purnell, Brett Gray, and Rylee Alazraqui. They wrap up with a look at an AI addressing moral quandaries from Star Trek and a relaxing (?) loop of ambient Borg sounds.

Brent Spiner did a version on Dr. Noonien Soong in “Enterprise” called Dr. Arik Soong. I think it’ll be another “Dr. Soong” either 21ST Century or the other timeline.
I have been a fan of Kate Mulgrew since “Ryan’s Hope” and followed her career to every role and books she has authored and narrated. I am truly excited for “Prodigy”
Maybe I’m the only one, but I liked Bashir being generically enhanced. I found him kind of boring before that revelation.
