Hey all I’m back for this week’s Anime Sunday with a look at the upcoming season. It’s my Most Anticipated Winter 2022 Anime! Pupil of the Wise Man: So I was expecting this to air last season, as you might have noticed in my post a few months back, but it turns out I missed the announcement of it being set to air this season instead.

HERE THERE BE SPOILERS. Prodigy steps into the vacuum left by Discovery ’s hiatus, and offers us a tantalizing glimpse into what might be the season’s endgame. However, what I liked most about the episode was how it used the Kobayashi Maru exam. The Maru has a long and storied history in Trek , first appearing in The Wrath of Khan and then playing a significant role in 2009’s Star Trek.

Those crafty fellows are everywhere, with their wily ways, their suave manner, and their masks made of skin.
