Prophecy - Star Trek: Voyager (The Ready Room 52)

It took Voyager seven seasons to make her way across the Delta Quadrant, and during that time we were teased with Klingons on occasion. There were holographic Klingons, Klingon Borg, a vivid dream about Klingons, and even a photograph of a Klingon. But for the real thing we had to wait until near the end of the seven-year journey. Finally, Janeway and her crew crossed paths with real warriors—three generations removed—and a little old-school pre-Khitomer action was served up. Oh… and Neelix got lucky, too. In this episode of The Ready Room we're joined by Larry Nemecek, who penned the original story, to talk about "Prophecy" and the long and winding road that finally led to the story of B'Elanna and Tom's magical baby.  In news we cover Levar Burton and J.J. Abrams at Apple's WWDC 2012, Television Critics Association Awards nominations for William Shatner and Star Trek: The Original Series, a Gorn appearance in the upcoming Star Trek console game, Mary Czerwinski and Brandi Clark's Glue Guns and Phasers, and lots of news and rumors about the next Star Trek film. Plus we grow enormous mustaches, redesign Starfleet uniforms (for the better), and Greg gets really serious. Originally published as The Ready Room 52: Klingon Love Machine God.
