What’s wrong with the protostar? It’s one of my favourite designs in new Trek, in fact.

TrekCore posted that there is a Blu-Ray release of episodes 1-10:

I've lost all doubt that splitting season 1 into parts - instead of calling eps 1-10 S1 and the following eps S2 - is a scam.

“A scam”?

There are Prodigy toys coming later this year. They’ve already announced them and shown the previews. You can also buy Prodigy t-shirts, totes, stickers, etc.

FanSets have a range of collectible character pins and a combadge. Although these are all marked "Adult Collectible".

Can’t find the original post anymore, darn.
It explained artists may get a pay rise negotiation between animated television seasons.
Because Prodigy episodes are all ‘one season’, ergo TPTB pull a quick one over their workforce.

mmmh. I seem to understand it was produced all as a single season, though, so I don’t think this is the case. I do find odd they are waiting so long to air the second half, though.

I'm not big into following animated shows, but I do remember Matt Groening's "Disenchantment" had a similar thing where each "season" was released in two parts with about a year between them (with the between-"season" gap being even longer). Even if it hadn't been a Netflix show, with the ten episodes spread over two and a half months instead of coming all at once, that would've been a Battlestar Galactica-sized midseason-break.

That's interesting; I didn't realize that the official seasons were broken up like that, as the top of Netflix's page for the show lists it has having four "seasons." But then in the drop-down, you pick "Parts" 1 - 4 instead of "Seasons" 1 - 4. I just assumed that "Part" was kind of a stylized way of describing separate seasons, similar to Stranger Things 2, 3, and 4 not using the word "season."
