We chat with jameelajamil about StarTrekProdigy, her love for 'The Next Generation,' Worf, and why she hasn't watched 'Picard' yet.
Star Trek had a strong presence at New York Comic Con this past weekend, with cast members from Star Trek: Picard, Star Trek: Discovery, and Star Trek: Prodigy making first contact with fans to share what audiences can expect from the upcoming seasons of each series. Before the panel, Collider got to sit down with the cast of Star Trek: Prodigy for a roundtable interview to chat about the second half of Season 1, where the animated series is headed, and geek out about Star Trek as a whole.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Ensign Asencia serves as a navigator aboard the USS Dauntless, and given how little Jamil was actually able to discuss her character, the conversation turned towards which Star Trek characters she would love to see herself work with and joined by The Mary Sue's Rachel Leishman who tag-teamed the discussion, Jamil also spoke about which bridge she'd like to be aboard and why she hasn't watched Picard yet.
JAMEELA JAMIL: Yeah, I would die to be in a live-action. I’d lose it. I mean Data has always been my favorite character, I’ve been talking about him all day. I truly liked him. I'm obsessed with him. I was always obsessed with him. Like he's my favorite character in anything ever, I think. So being able to interact with him, with Picard, like just there are so many. Worf!JAMIL: No! People even decided to love the Ferengis before they loved Worf.
JAMIL: It is actually Next Generation. Next Generation is where I would want to be the most. And there have been amazing stories told, and great captains including Captain Janeway, but Picard is my guy.LEISHMAN: You’ve got to, for hot Riker.
