You got the purple hot-headed daring adventurer, Dal R'el.
You've got a shy, gentle, smart gal, Rok-Tahk
You've got a loyal, stubborn dude who plays devil's advocate
You got a curious, intelligent entity, Zero!
You got a smart, kind gal, Gwyndala
You got Murf.
You got found family. You got action. You got friendship and love and support and emotions.

One of the things you can do with 3D animation is block out a scene the way you would live action. It’s definitely a lot more work, but it allows you to keep the camera and action dynamic.
Star Trek Prodigy is full of moments like this, where all 6 characters are conversing or interacting with each other. And rather than do multiple cuts, they allow the camera to move around between them in one continuous shot.
This shot in particular has a lot going on. I don’t know if technology has made it easier, but I remember when passing objects from one character to another was a lot more challenging and was often hidden with a cut. So when I see Jankom grab the paper from Dal and play with it a bit, that still impresses me.
The shot also begins with a follow through of the previous shot (not shown) where Dal flicks his hand to stiffen the paper. That motion caries into this shot.
Then there’s the little moment with Murf trying to get a good look at the papers. He can’t see over Jankom’s shoulder so he tries to climb up on Rok like he usually does, only he can’t quite make it and ultimately resigns himself to having to wait to see it. Again, with characters touching and interacting with one another I wanna remind you that 3D objects have no mass or are solid, so all that convincing interaction is fabricated by the animators.
Finally you can see that Zero keeps moving through the shot. The camera isn’t tracking them, so as the camera pans away from them, they have to keep readjusting themselves to fit the new composition. This is classic blocking and staging direction to keep the flow going and remind you of characters even if they’re not currently speaking. Your eye might not be following them, but you are aware of their presence.
Every time I rewatch this show I appreciate all these little details more and more.

These arrived in my bookstore over the last few Tuesdays; two Star Trek: Prodigy novels, aimed at middle readers (ages 8-12).
Damn straight I bought them.
