However, there is one problem with the series. How does a Tellarite and Medusan not know about the Federation? I could understand if they were abducted and somehow transported to the Delta Quadrant, but a Tellarite forgetting that they were one of the founder races of the Federation is hard to believe.
My theory is that the Protostar has experimental engine technology that crash landed in an alternate reality where the Federation was never created. The Tellarite Engineer mentioned the Protostar had 2 warp drives and a large device that he doesn't recognize in Engineering. It would also explain why the Protostar was trapped in a cave.
As for the Medusan... they're an enigmatic, non-corporial species, and I don't think they're members of the Federation.
From what I heard of the Protostar, she's got two warp cores, and apparently has an experimental FTL drive, either Slipstream or another attempt at Transwarp.

Correct. The Protostar has two warp cores. As Pog states just one warp core would be enough to get the Protostar up to Warp Nine. However, he has no idea in the world what the 'main' drive is.
Additionally, according to some screenshots the Protostar has Six decks. The 'main' drive engine according to MSD's takes up a significiant portion, if not almost the entire aft half of the Protostar.
aren't all the main characters children (well teens apart from the rock girl) so it's not that far fetched that they were abducted before they learned of the UFP (as more then a name), combine that with torture and said Tellarite might have believed his memories of living in UFP were figments of his imagination.
The impression from the TOS episode Is There in Truth No Beauty? is that they are a Federation race, just one that has to isolate themselves from any corporeal race (with only a few exceptions like Vulcans who can use special visors to avoid harm when seeing one).
Kollos was an ambassador, but that is what they called the representatives from Federation member worlds as well as non-Federation diplomats (in TOS the Federation was like a combination of the United Nations and NATO in today's terms, the various worlds governed themselves and the Federation council dealt with internal interplanetary conflicts and external matters only).
In fact, it was implied that the Terrans were the only ones making the Constitution class ships (and presumably the other planets built other ship classes), with everyone sharing in the innovations of the whole, and a high level of interoperability and standardization, and some trade in the various ship classes (like the Vulcans having one of the Constitution class).
As for the Tellarite, it is even possible that they were descended from Tellarites grabbed before the Federation was even formed, though with the work-them-until-they-drop schtick the slave labor mine trope has it would not take many generations to completely loose their history.
It does seem clear as well that there's rather more to Dal's past than we've seen - nobody was treated well in that mine, but Dal's the only one who came away with such a strong belief that anyone in power must be out to TRIBBLE him over. That ship really needs a counselor...

A normie goes "Oh, what's this?"
An otaku goes "UwU, what's this?"
A furry goes "OwO, what's this?"
A werewolf goes "Awoo, what's this?"

While it is aiming for a younger audience... they seem to be trying to make it appeal to everyone.

So the Tellarite might have send a sleeper ship into the Delta Quadrant and it got hijacked. Since he isn't aware of the Federation or humans, it wouldn't be surprising if the ship predates the founding of the Federation (and maybe even first contact between humans and Tellarite), and the ship wasn't very fast, needing a few centuries to get from Tellar to the location in the Delta quadrant where they are now.
More than a little predictable, but the Easter eggs made the episodes interesting.
Time will tell if this show can avoid the usual pitfalls for any kid show.
This is the very first time a Medusan has appeared in 60-years, so we know nothing about their lifecycle, age, reproduction...I'm not even sure they're Federation members.
Ooh and the ship...I love it. I didn't actually take notice of any JJ nods, but it doesn't read as anything other than proper.
It's the most "Star Trek as I personally remember and love it" series since Voyager. I've found new appreciate for Enterprise over the years, but I liked the 24th Century of TNG, DS9 and Voyager. It's been such a shame not to continue it...well, I know that Picard has, but Picard really is so dark and sinister :-/
