Spoilers ALL of season 2 online NOW in French!!

[Cryogenator]

Might I ask why you are insulting me? Have I insulted you? In my 22 years on this site have I ever insulted you?

No, but you insulted me in your 36th year on this site. I am not linear.

You're offended by the fact that I actually responded to your actual post.

Flabbergasted, not offended.

That I took the wording as literal, shouldn't be shocking. That is how I take all posts. As I have no rational means of determining any other meaning besides what they actually state.

Most people comprehend figurative and contextual speech.

I decided let's use VPN. Well, guess what I still couldn't access the subscriber base to gain access. As it required, not only a Canadian based linked financial account. But also needed a linked Canadian based residential act.

A rare occurrence which can sometimes be solved through a virtual credit card and fictitious address. I have an account with a British streaming site using the postcode of Buckingham Palace and another with an Australian site using an Australian postcode, but I am in America.

And just to prove a point, I have been using VPN's since about 2008. So I do use them for both stuff I shouldn't and to access materials from outside of the US.

But there is a program in Canada, that has not been immediately available to the US (in fact for most of the last decade) hasn't been made available to the US legally in anyway (there finally was one way paying for a US service that had access for a brief time, that has no also ended). And illegal means weren't available for every episode. I decided let's use VPN. Well, guess what I still couldn't access the subscriber base to gain access. As it required, not only a Canadian based linked financial account. But also needed a linked Canadian based residential act.

It took me finding a Canadian through the internet who was willing to take my money (and use it in the manner we agreed) to set me up as a person on their account (one who could only watch, but had no access to change or see details on the account), so that I wouldn't ever have control over the account or the linked financial information. That took multiple attempts, over about a year before I finally got someone who was trustworthy and actually did it. Of course the specific season of that show had been removed from the service by that point. It was added again a year later (So I did get what I couldn't through other means).

But it took me over a year to get content from Canada even using a VPN. And statistically speaking it's highly unlikely that I would be the only person who has ever come across a similar situation.

Thats all in the free world and not having to travel to Eritrea.

Speaking as a Canadian..... what show was this?!

 

[Akiraprise]

"this is Geneviève Bujold’s revenge."
Ok, that made me chuckle a bit.

C'mon Netflix. I haven't been a subscriber in years but fully intend on giving you money when you decide to release the new Prodigy season! Take my money dammit!

 

[Markonian]

Wow, you're dumb.

Sorry I'm late.
No insulting on this playground.
You have been warned. Comments to PM.

I've finished S2 in French. It's VERY good IMO, with a REALLY GOOD ENDING. The extra time they had between cancellation and go ahead to complete the animation perhaps allowed a slight rewrite, that dovetailed the end of this show PERFECTLY with the setup AND the conclusion of "Picard". A++

I'm watching the show in French. It's actually quite fun, seeing what I can understand by context and similar words to those in English or Spanish. I've gotten to Episode 5. Did they ever say

Spoiler: Spoiler

the Vulcan cadet's name?

Someone please feel free to correct the punctuation on this because the closed captions parsed it a few different ways, but…

Spoiler

her name is Maj’el! One of the more fun Easter eggs, in my opinion.

 

[Mark_Nguyen]

It is indeed this, per the credits at the end.

[Lord Hobbers]

Hi - I have a quick question, but I'll put it behind a spoiler tag just in case.

Spoiler

I see that someone posted a screenshot of Janeway and Jellico in the Picard flashback uniforms (huzzah!), but does anyone know if any other characters are shown wearing these (main characters or background characters) and is it only for one scene in the final episode that they are worn? Thanks

 

[NCC-73515]

A few background people too, and only in the last few minutes

 

[Lord Hobbers]

Thank you. That's a shame - I was hoping we'd see more of them.

 

[NCC-73515]

They have to make season 3, 2 is just too good to stop there

 

[Deks]

They have to make season 3, 2 is just too good to stop there

Yup.
Prodigy still remains one of the best (and under-appreciated) modern Trek series available.

 

[bookworm8571]

What species is the character named Maj’El in Season Two?

 

[Oddish]

Yup.
Prodigy still remains one of the best (and under-appreciated) modern Trek series available.

Sometimes "under-appreciated" trumps "good" in the battle for renewal.

I hope not in this case.

 

[Deks]

Sometimes "under-appreciated" trumps "good" in the battle for renewal.

I hope not in this case.

That's basically what I meant.
Under appreciated shows tend not to garner a lot of positive noise, which can limit their chances of renewal.
Then again, the show is out of Paramount's hands, S2 was made... and we have no news regarding season 3 or more.
I would like to say though its still early days since not even S2 hadn't been put out for everyone to stream.

I don't like the premise that Netflix is a deciding factor in Prodigy's future though... they have a knack for cancelling good shows.

She's the Vulcan I think?

I think it's not likely. The thing with S2 is that they had a complete product to sell, since they presumably ordered production of all 40 episodes and just opted not to air 20 of them. Netflix was paying for a completed show that they knew CBS didn't want, so I assume it wasn't that expensive either. In my mind it's like when they purchase "foreign" shows that are already complete in their home countries.

I honestly would have no idea what would happen if it did extraordinarily well though, but I also assume it'd have to dominate the Netflix charts for it to be a factor.

 

[Oddish]

The fact that a character who was never used by the show's first two seasons was "assigned" to it suggests that tenative plans were in place to do additional seasons. The show's initial cancellation by Paramount probably reduces the odds of this happening, but evidence suggests that the plan was initially there.

 

[The Wormhole]

he fact that a character who was never used by the show's first two seasons was "assigned" to it suggests that tenative plans were in place to do additional seasons.

Or Garrett Wang was just wrong, or exaggerating the matter. Terry Matalas said it was his own decision to leave Harry Kim out of Picard and added in the same interview "maybe Prodigy will do something with him." Garrett Wang, I suspect is conflating that to mean "Prodigy will do something with him."

 

[General Sidra]

I'm just endlessly amused that poor trod-upon Harry Kim is now the only core Voyager character who hasn't shown up in any capacity in any subsequent Star Trek media. (We got Janeway, Chakotay, and the EMH in Prodigy, obviously, Seven and Tuvok in Picard, Tuvok and Tom in Lower Decks, and B'Elanna in the canon Admirals' Logs for Prodigy as the person responsible for building the Dauntless.) As far as I'm concerned, this means he's still an ensign in the 25th century and I will go on believing that until proven otherwise.
