We have concerns about the sidelining of female characters in Prodigy How will Long Janeway be changed by her time with the kids? The all-male Prodigy panel was followed by the Discovery panel, which featured no heterosexuals whatsoever An ugly incident of homophobic abuse at the event The Strange New Worlds characters Christine Chapel's backstory: any situation that involves the phrase "multiple sexy robots" is going to be regrettable Anika has a lot of feelings about the trend of taking male villains and reinventing them as women Despite all the evidence that this is a bad idea, ie, season 1 of Star Trek: Picard, we are very excited for season 2 of Star Trek: Picard We were wholly unmoved by the "Legacy" section of the event People we love: Mary Chieffo, Jolene Blalock We are here to defend the red carpet hosts!
