News Star Trek Prodigy Cancelled, Season 2 to be shopped around

[Wouter]

I agree, but at least people are sharing something rather than just wringing their hands and crying "Woe is Prodigy!."

Petition signed. Maybe it will help...

But, I've never been to Spain.

I’ve been talking to my father about doing a cruise that includes Spain. I want to go there, London and France and I’ve never done a cruise.

Cool, I have a song for you in case you do go on that cruise:

I see a lot of complaints about Prodigy being shown in chunks. This is partly due to making it a 20 episode season was done after the fact. The initial order was 2 10 episode seasons, similar to LD. Then for some strange reason they decided to call it one season and show each half a year apart. But the benefit was that second season was also ordered as 20 episodes. So Prodigy basically got 4 seasons which is not bad.

And I agree with the article posted above. Paramount will likely not get great offers and will end up showing it on Nickelodeon eventually.

I think it's a hard sell. Children have their own interests (and this is rarely Star Trek, I fear, or even similar programming) and for others the "for children" moniker, animation and Star Trek label may be negatives.

I'm in Florida (Ground Zero for Ron DeSantis and his book bans).

"Age-appropriate" is often a code word for "pedantic garbage."

As for the revenge story, I think it is a great underlying plot for the series. It's tied to the entire premise (without it, Gwyn wouldn't have the very specific relation she has with the other characters), gives the series a canvas wherein they can learn about the Federation and its principles and use them in practice, even at cost to themselves.

I saw Gwyn as Prodigy's answer to Seven of Nine (a villain who becomes a hero).

The fact that the people behind the series are confident that S2 will be picked up somewhere makes me optimistic.

i don’t think this is correct: among like maybe 20 ferengi we saw on DS9 we got two extremely good business women, this is like a 10%,

The point was, they couldn't produce an alternative female when Ishka was incapacitated.

If the society wasn’t ready for it there would have been riots, the fact that the magus could pass those reforms proves that things had been boiling under the surface already.

And there was no sign of any of this in any prior episode. In the US, Susan B. Anthony and her crew were busy from 1866 to 1920, and that was just for the right to vote and hold office.

Just like when Theodosius made Christianity the official religion of the Roman Empire, something that would have been unthinkable a couple of generations earlier.

Indeed, but this only happened after the Church endured decades of ostracism, persecution, and frequent martyrdom.

I doubt that’s what happened. Just like when the US abolished slavery the situation improved, but the road to true equality was (and still is) still long and bumpy.

Again, not what happened. In the wake of female equality, Zek introduced taxation, welfare, universal health care, and an end to the Nagus's autocracy. Ferenginar was practically Federation 2.0!

I smell a Kickstarter project.

We've gotten a boat load of content that I never thought we'd have. I'm quite satisfied even if it ends.

Yeah, ending I understand. I figured the show had two or three seasons in it, I think it's more the fact that after promising a second season, they just cut it off. Abrupt cancellations are frustrating.

I still think Apple buying the Star Trek IP from Paramount makes a lot of sense.

Zero, in the new suit they got from Starfleet, looks like an Apple product.

 

[StarMan]

Apple's content library can't compete with rivals. If they're in this for the long haul, you could imagine acquisitions will follow. Who knows? Perhaps they're content to wait it out while as their competitors overextend and scoop up some established IPs at a discount.

Oh, and a DS9 remaster? Super easy. Barely an inconvenience.

I focus on what I got best I can. Gratitude for me right now.

to be Terry Metalas before Terry Matalas burst on the scene with Picard Season 3

But he lead most of Season 2. He didn't just appear with Season 3.

No but he gained more notoriety with Season 3 over Season 2.

 

[Bornin1980something]

And even Season 3 was no Prodigy!

I believe he sprung from the forehead of Roddenberry.

 

[tomalak301]

And even Season 3 was no Prodigy!

Considering I was more luke warm on Picard Season 3 than most of the fanbase, this is a pretty true statement for me. Prodigy is the only series in the "New Trek" era that has shocked me in a positive way.

Anson Mount is onboard.

This whole tax write-off thing is a shitty, anti-consumer (and anti-creative) loophole that needs to be closed.
