Spoilers Star Trek: Prodigy 1x01/02 - "Lost and Found"
- Thread starter Commander Richard

Poor Gwyn.
I had to double-check to see if any of the other prisoners had clipped ears too (the ones with ears), but Dal seems to be the only one.
That's how you know it's computer-generated. No cartoon drawn and colored by hand is that detailed.
I had a cat with an ear like that. It came from a fight with another cat, it likely pricked his ear with one of its claws and then pulled... Boy does an ear bleed! My cat was covered with his own blood. I thought his injuries were more serious than that, upon cleaning him I discovered that it was his only wound. I was much relieved at that.
Visuals are gorgeous.
Music seemed ripped from JJ Abrams' Star Trek 2009 movie.
The USS Protostar is a cool looking ship.
The animation is very Clone Wars.
Most of it felt very Star Wars though. It did not feel like Trek to me.
Dredlock is a Gen. Grievous rip-off.
Holo Janeway was nice.
The show is very kid orientated. The characters are young. The plot is kinda what you would expect from a kid's show where things are solved very simplistically.
I may check out the next episode just to see where things go beyond the pilot episode. But I probably won't stick around.

"Hi, I'm Hologram Janeway"??
That was such a hokey way to describe herself. How about, "I am a holographic representation of Captain Janeway"? That is how it would be typically expressed on Trek. You'd never hear the EMH call himself "Hologram doctor." IDK, it just rubbed me the wrong way. I guess they dumbed it down for the kids.

it's the same composer, so if anything he’s ripping himself.
By the way, lowed the “pew pew button” reference, very third wall breaking!
And true phaser beams, not pew pew thingies!
Or, just having fun with the idea. Or, holo Janeway hadn't had her holo coffee yet.
State the nature of the instructional emergency..

I really loved the phaser animation! The saucer phaser arrays seem to be several small ones in a line and they animated the charge coming from the emitters on the sides to meet at the beam! Great attention to detail.
Was the repurposed from an original concept?
It really did not feel like something that was designed from the group up to be Star Trek. On the other hand - we generally see stuff through the lens of Starfleet so that would make sense if it felt 'alien'.
Otherwise nice animation and a decent pace for a family show.

From what the Hagemans have said, it was an original idea for Trek, but developed from a different point of view. Paramount asked them to come up with an idea, they didn't really know how to jump into a kid's Trek show, but they came upon the idea of starting outside of Starfleet and the Federation and having the journey for the characters to be introduced to the Star Trek universe. As both an entry for the characters and new audiences. Maybe this approach is why you don't yet feel that it feels like it is designed for Trek.
Prodigy’s concept is neat, and, if this is in the Delta Quadrant it makes sense the federation lost a ship and can’t get it back. But the writing is definitely for smaller kids. I really didn’t like Dal. He feels like a character from a 90’s tween movie and his manner of speaking felt out of place in the 21st century, let alone the 24th. It’s one of those characters an adult thinks is what kids are like these days. I found Rok especially annoying since she went from being gruff and powerful to meek and dainty as soon as the computer gave her a little girl’s voice. Zero was my favorite character. I agree with a lot of people who felt like this was more Star Wars in design than Star Trek, maybe because I’m used to seeing CG Star Wars properties and this was animated just like them. Overall, the plots and story could be good but the dialog and character choices are completely cringe at times. I dub Prodigy fine but not for me.
This was a smart way to approach it. Every hero character is thus an audience point-of-view character into, at this point, the mostly grown up world of Star Trek. And then we have Janeway which is our Star Trek point of view, the mystery and the authority. I guess this is like a Doctor Who show where the... companions are completely the main focus... and... ugh. Okay maybe that's not the best example. But this is working for me here and now.
"Doesn't feel like Star Trek " is the most encouraging descriptor for this show.
completely agree.
I think that was just Dal being racist against rock people. He interpreted everything through a dark and destructive lens. Which will be his problem next episode as he doesn't believe a Federation could exist.
They use that same type of music in Transformers Prime awhile back as well. I think it must be their go to sound to let people know this is a Abrams product. I don't mind it though because I really like it.
Yeah, I like the music too. It's just that it immediately jumped out to me because it reminded me so much of the JJ Trek movie.
