I could tell fireproof was joking

Humor: it is subjective. It is not logical.

Humor would require a common element. The person who asked you about Prodigy did not know it was humor because they didn't know 1, about the series and 2, how many episodes there actually were.
Therefore the post was bereft of humor.

Hello Tuvok

That was beyond amazing. Kovich's words about First Contact could not have rung more true.

Spoiler: And Lord Garth, I saw it coming . . .

. . . that the 10-C (don't they have a name for their species?) intercepted Book's transporter beam, and were able to rematerialize him, none the worse for wear. What I didn't expect was that he would be the one to tell the 10-C about the mess their mining equipment leaves behind, or that his sentence would be to help refugees.

I would say that the dénouement was stretched out a bit too long, almost to the point of anticlimax.

At some point, I'm going to re-watch, with the commentary turned on.

If you're a non-fan reading this, watch the last 3 episodes. You'll be rewarded.

the 10-C (don't they have a name for their species?)

I'm sure they do, but unless it has a meaning that refers to material objects or mathematical concepts, would we be able to translate it? If their name for themselves translates to something material -- "those who float in the atmosphere" or whatever -- then, sure, a translation could be made. But if it is essentially a particular collection of pheromones and light patterns with no direct material meaning, I doubt a translation into verbal language would be possible. Though admittedly at some point, the Federation should probably work with them to find a name that species who communicate vocally could use that they would not object to.

I bet an AI translator with the appropriate sensors will be a breeze.
