So I recently finished watching every episode in its entirety of PRO (just like I did with LD, and TOS-ENT a while ago).
Here's my review and opinions of it:
Summary:
PRO is an intriguing and worthy star trek show. Its characters are fun and endearing. It has a good combination of drama, comedy, adventure, mystery, and of course sci-fi. It's entertaining for kids (although it has a lot of drama in it), but also for adults as well (especially since it stays true to other star trek shows).
Story: 6/10.
PRO's plot of a pretty generic super villain trying to destroy the federation and time travel are pretty typical and common, but still pretty good. PRO is heavily serialized, with both seasons basically being one long story arc. However, some individual episodes are very interesting and original, especially the ones with wesley and the loom, the planet of non corporeal entities, or the starfleet impersonators.
Characters: 8/10.
The cast of kids are made up of really fun, unique, different and interesting characters that are very well portrayed. The special guest legacy characters (janeway (both versions), chakotay, the emh, wesley, and beverly) are excellent too, and compliment the main cast really well. Although, it would've been awesome if they could've also included barclay.
Writing: 8/10.
The show has great quality writing, that's believable for its characters, and stays very true to the style (especially the technobabble) of other star trek shows, while also being very contemporary.
Animation: 7/10.
The supporting characters are decently animated, but they look like characters from old video games. The main cast characters are very well animated. Everything else (ships, sets, space, planets, etc.) are also very well animated.
Voice acting: 8/10.
All the actors really gave great, realistic, enthusiastic, and entertaining performances, especially from the new actors, but also from the old actors. They really made the show interesting.
Conclusion:
Overall PRO is an excellent show (if you like cartoons), and one of the better star trek shows.
Is there anything you think I missed that you'd like to discuss? What are your reviews and opinions of PRO?

I just realized how elegant, amazing, and detailed the animation (CGI) is on PRO, and from what little I know about the show, how much it seems to stay true to canon.
I've only seen a few parts of some episodes of it, so could any of you PRO fans let me know what the basic story of the show is, and why some of you have said it's actually the most like the berman era shows of all the new shows?
Also, does it only appeal to kids, or is it interesting for adults too?

Unless these folks pull a Peter Jackson, it doesn't look good.

So I did a little something new and different for Star Trek Day (and the following couple days...it's a lot of hours!) and watched the series premiere of all the Trek shows, starting with The Man Trap and working my way forward through Strange New Worlds.
I tried to ignore what I know DOES come next to focus on the episode itself, what it sets up and promises, how the story is, the characters, the acting, my overall enjoyment of it and how excited I think, without knowing what I know now about each series, I would've been to tune into the second episode the following week.
Rankings are in order based on the above and the parenthetical number is how I rate the series overall.
I'm curious what anyone else thinks or whether anyone else has done this watchthrough!
