Prodigy's Fate Sealed?

[Akiraprise]

Back when Prodigy got dumped by Paramount+ the DVD/Blu releases apparently got a significant sales bump. I wonder if it'll happen again. Surely not to the same extent, but hopefully some.

I was one of the purchasers. Anyone that truly wants to ensure they've got access to their favorite shows in the future should buy them on physical media. Prodigy's treatment is a perfect example of why. Not hopeful for any kind of S3, so I'm glad the show didn't end on a cliffhanger.

Prodigy becoming a fandom darling was too little, too late.

Holding shows hostage behind a failed experiment of a streaming service will do that.

Well, Paramount will go under and we'll no longer have any trouble from them. Then the hostages will go free.

Sigh.

Posted over half an hour ago. Are they planning something or trying to encourage fan campaigning again?

After the crap that was the Voyager Campaign, the writers are just going to suck me back in, aren't they. I think the only way I would support a campaign is getting reassurance that I will get regular emails and updates and I don't have to pay for the cruise or conventions just to find out what is going on.

NuTrek is just one failure after another

Most of it is pretty good/great. I blame the people running the television industry.

Much like your posting history?

It's much worse!
At least my posting history didn't cost this website multi-millions like the flops that are DSC, PRO and PIC S1-2 did Paramount.

Yeah!

And as a paid Paramount plant I never saw a dime!


Cheapskates.

You should sue Paramount, or maybe Skydance, I dunno.

Pardon me while I interrupt whatever's going on by weighing in with my two cents about Prodigy. I promise it won't take long. Then all of you can get back to playing games.

Sorry to see Prodigy end, but this isn't a surprise. I figured Netflix would air the second season and be done with it. Even though I wasn't the target audience, I liked it... but I had to be in the mood for it.

As is, the final episode dovetails nicely into "Children of Mars". So, it actually works for me as an ending, because there's a clear-cut line between where Prodigy ends and Picard begins.

Well, Hollywood accounting.

No malding! Just cope and seethe!
I want ST to flourish like it did in the 90's and a glimmer from the KT.

I get what you’re saying, but Star Trek is never going back to how it was in the ‘90’s. That magic is over. That’s why new shows like That ‘90’s Show, Quantum Leap, Night Court, etc. invariably fail. Because they try to fool the audience into believing that the magic is still there when it clearly isn’t.
