That’s one heck of a jury. Congratulations to both!
Huh, it only now occurs to me that both groups had a young Vulcan female added to them.
Congratulations!!!
Nice to see both shows winning these awards. It’s still crazy to me that these animated shows represent the best of Star Trek IMO since Enterprise went off the air. They both could’ve easily fell flat on their face (especially LDS lol) but instead have both captured the hearts of the franchise and fandom while giving us a different angle of Trek we never had before. I truly hope we get more of both in the future. They deserve more; especially Prodigy.
Well said bro…well said! 👍
WELL DONE!!
My two favorite shows in NuTrek picking up an award together makes me smile with glee! 😀
