"Amoral Star" ... it's a pun. They'll kill again
Spoilers Star Trek: Prodigy 1x10 - "A Moral Star, Part 2"
- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
The Emergency Power Reserves they were talking about are on the ship, not the planet.
They needed to get the Protostar into the Rev-12 engine bay for things to start working again.
Plus, there's still the fact that the scene shows the Diviner without his support suit.
There's no way he could survive on the planet without it.
He was barely surviving living on the Rev-12 with it.

Wow.
An amazing wrap-up of the first story arc, with lots of things still to learn and new things coming. I have been consistently blown away by this show. I almost wish I had kids to share this with. I might borrow a few from my friends.
As he explained that, I figured he just wanted to stop that First Contact; when he revealed he wanted to destroy *ALL OF STARFLEET*, I think I actually gasped! A tad out of proportion as a response...

That was my impression as well. The Diviner's arrogance and superiority complex, and the whole "sent back to protect our way of life", leads me to think he's a little biased.

A tad out of proportion as a response... Same! All of the bits of dialogue when the prisoners could finally understand each other were awesome! I can't imagine what it would be like to live like that.
Ooh, I like that.
I think I'll wait to watch Part 2 until I see how that final scene plays out.
If they really did leave the Diviner behind to die, helpless and without provisions OR the suit he needs to survive...screw them. I don't give a frog's fat ass what he's done, nobody deserves that. Not even him.
If these kids seriously aspire to careers in Starfleet, they've got a seriously fucked up way of showing it!

LOVED it!

I'm not following.
In that it's fiction, and he could recover if it's the will of the writers, without much justification.
Spock did.
Ah, but Spock had the advantage of a starship's full medical staff, plus decent quarters and provisions, to help him recover.
The Diviner, of course, does not have that luxury.

This. I figure he's in some kind of holding area, and what we're seeing is in his head. They left this one a touch ambiguous to me, because one could see it as either being left behind on the asteroid, or as a metaphor for what was going on in his own mind. He was likely not left unsupervised, though. I'd wager he's on the mining colony ship in the brig.
Again, though, open ended, and quite honestly, he enslaved and then tried to murder thousands of innocent lives, all as part of the plan to murder millions more innocent lives in a fit of xenophobia and genocide. His own actions lead him to his downfall, no one else. That they didn't kill him out of revenge is compassion and mercy in action. The rest, I think, is up to us to figure out for now.
I love how colorful those LCARS are and the uniforms look great as well.

Agreed. Loved the inside of the ship. Not so much the outside, seemed kind of off? I don't know, but the interior with the LCARS and the uniforms, it all looked great.I love how colorful those LCARS are and the uniforms look great as well.
The real Starfleet version of the U.S.S. Dauntless has those weird breadstick-shaped nacelles and that similarly-designed secondary hull trailing behind the shell-like primary hull. She does look awkward.

Yeah, I'm not a fan.
There might be an angle the ship looks good from, but we definitely haven't seen it yet.
the uniforms look great as well.
Are those the same as the Lower Decks unis?
No, different. These are more like TNG uniforms and the dress uniforms seen in TNG, DS9 and VOY.
Mercy and compassion would have been TO kill him, not leave him to die slowly on an abandoned asteroid with no food, water or power (or even the suit he needs to survive).
Like I said: Nobody deserves to die like that. Not even the Diviner. I don't CARE what he's done. Far as I'm concerned, anyone who gloats over the Diviner's suffering and (eventual) death is no better than he.

We don't know the extent of his madness, especially when factoring in his already considerable monomania. Spock managed to recover with the help of the Enterprise medical team, and it's possible that the Diviner will also recover, there's no way to know. One does not end the life of someone simply because they are mentally unbalanced. I don't believe they've left him to fend for himself, either.
As I said earlier, I believe he's in the brig of the mining ship, and what we're seeing is from his own perspective. I could be wrong, but there's no way to know as of yet at this juncture. We may learn more on the road ahead as the story further unfolds next season.
Thanks for the reminder. I only ever did a full watch through of TOS once, so it is the series I am least familiar with.
Tangentially, I'd like to do that again someday. I watched it in my 20s with some friends, and we were shocked at how this campy "embarrassment" actually had some really good stuff. And I actually came to respect Shatner's acting at points.
Yeah, I'm not a fan.
Same. I can usually think of something pleasant for a Starfleet ship. But Dauntless is ugly as heck.
This is a prime example of how you can agree with someone on some things and not on others. Mr. LB here and I agree it would be monstrous for the kids to do that. But leaving someone to die with flimsy and callous motivation is just many many orders of magnitude beneath enslaving hundreds, leaving those people to die in a display of cruelty, and then actively attempting to murder billions beyond. It's not comparable.
