Does @AnimationAdmiral think they're funny, voting early every week?

 

It was already shown in (at least) Croatia and Hungary, apparently
Edit: France, Netherlands, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore also seem to have seen episodes 15 and 16 already

 

Better episode this week. The kids didn't seem dumb, except for Dal but he was trying to find out who he really was. The ending was an unexpected twist, considering I was starting to really like Asencia. It is nice to get Drednock back though, as when the credits were rolling I was wondering why Simpson hadn't been in the series that much.

I think my only negative is I'm sick and tired of the Soong family and how often modern trek is going back to that well. For one, I don't think Kids watched Enterprise, and two, can they come up with something away from Soong? The Augment Arc in Enterprise was decent if a little annoying, and I didn't expect that to come back to a Kids show like Prodigy. Hopefully there is more to Dal's mystery than that or else I might be a little disappointed.

If you listen closely, they say he was created by the protégés of Soong, not Soong himself — likely someone using his work, doing something new.

 

I swear Drednok is a Decepticon, he's more than "Meets the Eye".
I really wasn't expecting him to be disguised as the friggin coffee table.

 

Arik was >250 years before - did he raise more augment kids who then had grandkids who made Dal?


Jellico, I guess


Nice Voyager model


I thought they have science advisors? XD

 

But Soong still had an impact. That legacy is all over modern trek at this point and I just wish Prodigy had come up with something different.

 

Seconding the feeling that the Soongs are more than a little overplayed. But that was a small niggle in an otherwise enjoyable episode. As usual, I just wanna give these kids massive hugs. And the new Tal Shiar tac suits look fantastic!

So if Dal is an augment, does that mean he's automatically barred from Starfleet?

 

They might've missed out on the biology one.

 

Agreed about the Romulan suits. I actually thought they looked fantastic and I appreciate they are using the TNG warbird design. Prodigy is doing a great job with the romulans and I hope that continues.

 

I want them!



Dal getting Klingonified like Archer



Plus Andorian plus Vulcan



And plus Tellarite

 

Yeah, I think they only have an astrophysicist (who could at least look up species names on ...say... wiki )

 

How can they fire torpedoes when they are lightyears out from that Starbase? I’m sure there is a range

 

According to the display, Dal is part Ferengi, Breen, Son'a (meaning Ba'ku), Tholian, Cardassian, Romulan, Insectoid, Andorian, Klingon, Dominion (unclear which), Hirogen, Maquis (mostly Human, makes no sense), Risian, Bajoran, Vulcan, Human, and 10 unknown ones (orange).

 

So Dal's blue spew was his Founder DNA?

 

Ohhhh shit!!!! They did not just do what they just did!

 

Thats the Xindi symbol, so he could have any or all of them.

 

The Romulans were using variants of the weapons we saw in Picard.

I’m not seeing what’s wrong? Is it because they forgot the S? Harmless mistake.

they do have a biologist on call, but not on employment like Doctor Erin.
