It's pretty genius what they've done on Star Trek: Prodigy Season 1 Episode 18 in providing a way for the Protostar to convey information to the Dauntless without using traditional modes of communication.
(Mind you, the contrarian in me wonders if they couldn't have scrawled out a message on the windows (ports?) of the Protostar to arrange a face-to-face rendezvous on some neutral planet or starport.)
But a body/brain swap works, too—sort of.
The most impressive element in this adventure is how Brett Gray and Kate Mulgrew effectively convey the characters' consciousness exchange through their vocal intonations and cadence.
Not only are Dal and Vice Admiral Janeway on opposite ends of the Starfleet experience spectrum, but Gray and Mulgrew are similarly diverse in their backgrounds as voice actors.

I'll be honest. I love anthologies. I love exposition. So by any measure, Star Trek: Prodigy Season 1 Episode 16 is a sheer delight for me, and I'll also admit that's a weird thing to say about a collection of woe-filled tales of child slavery, kidnapping, and vengeance-fueled tragedy.
However, thanks to the genius in the planning and pacing of the season, we're able to see the backstories of Rok-Tahk, Zero, and Jankom Pog as traumatic events that led to their happier, healthier place aboard the Protostar.
And while life isn't perfect for our intrepid kid crew, the injustices they have survived are easier to process, knowing they eventually find a family with each other.
The same cannot be said for Asencia, now known to be The Vindicator, and The Diviner.
While it's exciting to know for certain where (and when) Chakotay is and how The Protostar became weaponized to destroy the Federation,...

5. Breaking the fourth wall
Characters in films addressing the audience can be a tricky one to get right. Sure, there are notable examples of where this works brilliantly, but get it wrong and it can come across as both cheesy and distracting.
Happily, High Fidelity is an example of where this works brilliantly, as Rob...
