Spoilers Star Trek: Prodigy 1x19 - "Supernova, Part 1"
- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
I mean, Star Wars is called a "kid's movie" and whole planets blow up...plus the various gruesome murders in Disney movies.Using the number of ships we saw and their beta canon crew sizes, at least 25 k people were killed in this Nickelodeon kids show
When the Protostar was making all its erratic evasive manoevres, they came quite close to ramming one of the Sovvies, and a view from inside that ship (with 2 crewmembers instinctively ducking) was briefly shown.
I would say Star Wars is a family movie. Considering this episode had someone being stabbed, I wouldn’t really call this a kids show as well.
I actually wonder if the Enterprise-E gets so badly wrecked that she is completely unsalvageable and which will lead to the commissioning of the Enterprise-F. be nice tie-in to PIC Season 3.
I doubt they will even be allowed to do something that substantial to the Enterprise in this show. They would have made it clearer that it was there if so.
Knowing Picard, the Enterprise was probably destroyed in something incredibly lame. Worse than how the D was destroyed.

It's possible the Ent-E isn't there, since all Sovereigns seem to be using the registry of the Sovereign itself and the nacelle may have been something that was overlooked. If it is there, it will probably get a mention next episode, once the final tally is clear (and assuming no reset button of some kind).
Any message transmitted from an infected Star Fleet ship carries the infection.
Gwyn was transmitting to Non-Federation ships, though any SF ship that happened to catch her message would also be infected.
The Construct was targeting the new ships as they arrived to have them fired upon, and have them start firing at other SF ships, not infect them.
They would have already been infected before arrival and be fully under the Construct's control at the point of arrival.
Good catch. Gwyn and co should ask one of the allied ships to transmit that message, in this case (though they have probably all been shot up already).
One possible way to stop the construct is to go for the self-destruct, by exploding protostar engine or something similar. I wonder if the Construct would attempt to negotiate (if it is intelligent enough to do so), if it saw a threat to itself and its mission that it may not be able to stop.
Will they go back to wearing the older FC-era communicators after using the newer AGT-style ones? For that matter, will Lower Decks start using these Prodigy uniforms and AGT comm badges next season?

While Holo-Janeway was under it's control, that would not have been possible.
At this point, the crew is still locked out of almost all of the Protostar's main functions.
Zero managed to rewire some of the controls away from the Construct, but they still don't have complete control.
One would imagine that the ships destruct function is probably not available yet to them.
That's the scene. I would have had them wearing First Contact uniforms. Just a minor nitpick.
They don't need the general self-destruct. The protostar engine is unstable as it is, and I would think Jankom (with the help of Zero and Rok, if need be) would find a way to destabilise it and let his inner Shaxs lose.
But since we don't want the ship to blow up (with its crew!), if they did the construct would probably somehow stop it or negotiate with the crew to get them to stop. The latter could allow the construct to remain present and a threat, but without it continuing the attack.
Yes, it looked like this:
I know it's a natural reaction to duck, but when one stands back up and after the sigh of relief, one must also realize how dumb it was to duck in the first place.
In the Picard novel he becomes captain of the E after Picard buggers off but that isn’t strictly canon.
