Spoilers Star Trek: Prodigy 1x01/02 - "Lost and Found"
- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
Same here. Last thing I expected before I watched this was, "I want to watch that again!" But then, there I was.
I enjoyed it, but maybe I was tired from pre-Halloween prep, because I found my attention dragging a bit. It was beautiful to watch, but I found the pacing a little strange. It seemed rushed and slow at the same time. The kid loved it, though.
I will write off much of this to my not being the target audience, and I will keep watching.
Once again, I'm seeing the "seems more Star Wars than Star Trek" critique, which I've seen lobbed at the latest Trek since about 1981. Never been able to parse out what that actually means, other than there seems to be this expectation that Trek can't be exciting or something. What exactly is this Star Wars-ness that apparently should be excised from the franchise?

I mentioned this once or twice in the Lower Decks forum, but during the pandemic I found myself in need of a creative lifeline after all of our stage shows were cancelled so I started producing and hosting a Star Trek podcast for the ESO Network, featuring my hilarious wife and some very intelligent friends of ours.
Should you be in to that sort of thing, you can find EARTH STATION TREK on all of the usual podcasting platforms. Our discussion of the Prodigy premiere went out today.

Star Wars is evil and unworthy of being in Star Trek...
I don't know the reason either.
The conceit was that we thought it was ugly, but actually it was beauty, the ugliness just a myth. And it is kinda sorta implied that they are probably one of those ‘higher dimension’ beings.
It will eventually be on Nick. You can tell it was designed for network TV with those apparent cuts
Countdown to Drednok turning on Solum in 5...4...3...
Ignore that noise. Trek and Wars have been cross-pollinating from their beginnings.
Yes, Paramount+. I saw it there. It is good!
8 given.<searches Nickelodeon...> No, not currently on Nickelodeon. Perhaps someday, as has been said.
...but it's better to have it fresh out of the oven.
Well, the scenes with the Emperor and General Grievous were pretty Star Warsy.
I didn't so much mind these, except for the design of Drednok(?). They should have went back to the drawing board on him.
As others have said, it’s not on Nickelodeon yet, only Paramount+. When it was initially announced it was said it would air on Nickelodeon, but in February they revised it, stating that it would premiere on Paramount+, and then air on Nickelodeon after the first season completes streaming on Paramount+.
Prodigy has been added to a fan-made timeline of the Trek universe.
Bad guy talks to flunky is "Warsy"?
I did feel that when the "Grievous" lookalike knelt to his Master that it reminded me of the Imperial Dignitary kneeling before Darth Vader's bacta tank container in Rogue One.
Did anyone else notice Gwyn flinch when Drednok took that swing at Dal on the Protostar? It seems like both her and the Diviner are able to see through Drednok's eyes.. I'm guessing revealing/using that ability will be a turning-point moment for her that proves she's on the side of our heroes.
Emperor? You mean Vader in his bacta tank.
