Spoilers Star Trek: Prodigy General Discussion Thread

[Andyliini]

Interesting, the latest tweet from official Star Trek handle has updated the message for the release of Prodigy. It now reads:

Star Trek: Prodigy will stream exclusively on Paramount+ in the United States and across Latin America, the Nordics and Australia, and will air on Bell Media’s CTV Sci-Fi Channel and stream on Crave in Canada.

i knew about Australia before, but now they have added Nordics to the mix as well. It makes sense as we already have Paramount+ available, but this is the first time I've heard about this. I'll have to take a look later this month if Prodigy will actually release here then.

Interesting... “exclusively on Paramount +”? What happened to Nickelodeon? I thought they were going to air it as well. Curious.

 

[fireproof78]

Odd.

 

[NCC-73515]

IIRC, it'll be on P+ first, then on nick.

So, no info on EU/UK release? They dropped the ball on that with S1 of Lower Decks, hopefully they are just firming up with a distributor...

It's coming in 2022 with P+, via a tie-up with Sky (although you will still be able to subscribe separately). See https://www.skygroup.sky/article/viacomcbs-partners-with-sky-to-launch-paramount-in-europe

 

[matthunter]

Well, that's a big nope from me then. Unless my regular Sky+ package carries it (and the article says not, only if you have Sky Cinema). I'm not signing up to another pay service - I have Netflix and Amazon Prime so I can watch PIC, DSC and LDS. If they start shifting that content onto P+, sod them. I'll wait for the blu-rays.

Damn it, I missed the Discovery panel, and now I missed the Prodigy panel.

I really need to learn to make reminders.

 

[C.E. Evans]

I don't much like the badge.

It seems that both the VOY badge and the PRO badge will appear on holo-Janeway. Maybe she'll change it cause it's not an official SF crew...?

I wonder if the new combadge is a more detailed CGI rendering of the LD badge.

I liked the new sneak preview clip featuring the Janeway hologram!

Okay, so how is there a Tellarite who lives in the Delta Quadrant and has never seen a human? I liked the joke about an alien finding it weird that humans have smooth foreheads, but it seems odd coming from an alien whose forehead isn't particularly bumpy.

 

[cooleddie74]

I suppose some Tellarites never leave their own star system or if they do work or visit regions of space where humans are rare or just out of their field of vision. Space is pretty big, and this is a very young Tellarite so maybe he's not experienced with many species outside his own.

Except he's in the Delta Quadrant.

And what, they don't have schools on Tellar? Or immigrants? I've never left the United States and rarely left Ohio, but I know what people from other countries look like.

Might be born and raised in the Delta Quadrant. How? I guess we'll find out.

 

[matthunter]

Like humans, Tellarites might have sent out sleeper ships early on. Remember there was a Klingon ship out there, though they had warp and knew about the Federation. But all sorts of ways an old impulse ship could wind up in the Delta Quad - wormholes, Caretakers....

 

[cooleddie74]

The S.S. Valiant was launched from Earth just two to two and a half years after Zefram Cochrane broke the warp barrier and some sort of spatial or subspace phenomenon swept a primitive warp exploratory vessel that could barely break Warp 1 to the very edge of the galaxy.

Robert Beltran is back as CAPTAIN Chakotay (along with Jason Alexander as Dr. Noum).

 

[137th Gebirg]

I didn’t know blocks of wood qualified to be starship captains. It’s a brave new world!

Or potted plants ...

Well, how many actors were wooden on a certain movie (cough star wars) but when given actually good scripts and dialogue they shine.
Hopefully Robert will be given some good stuff and shine.
