Prodigy is back (this was WAY before it was canceled), and so is the PD Crew!

It’s finally here, performing for you. It’s Jack, Barm, Sean, Kev Young, and the Enterprise and Farragut Crew! Is this just a cheap attempt at piggybacking off the greatness of a TOS episode?

Finally, it’s here for you. It’s the last member of Picard Season Two. This pod’s so long, it isn’t funny, can make a Soong cry out for his Kahnny.
