Spoilers Star Trek: Prodigy 1x18 - "Mindwalk"

[Dukhat]

As for Centaur class having just 16 ships built... depends on what the class was designed for. It’s an older class (kitbash?) it seems that dates back to the 23rd century.

Its design and 4XXXX registry number connote a ship built during the ‘Lost Years’ between TUC and pre-TNG…probably more toward the latter than the former, since 5XXXX registries tend to connote Galaxy class precursors such as the Kyushu, Challenger, Springfield and Freedom. Up until about the 2340’s, Starfleet was still using predominantly older designs such as the Miranda, Excelsior (and variants thereof such as the Centaur, Curry and Raging Queen), and the newest class at the time was the Ambassador.

There've been at least eleven flag officers who have committed court-martial offenses by the period in which Picard takes place, approximately 250 years after the founding of the Federation. Which is itself a disturbing statistic, considering the US is currently 246 years old, and only on Admiral in the US Navy has ever been court-martialed.

There are plenty of lower ranking sailors who are scapegoated by Admirals. The most recent US Navy example being blaming the fire and destruction on the USS Bonhomme Richard on a low ranking seaman apprentice, when it was actually numerous high ranking officers that contributed to the shipboard fire, and the inability of the crew to successfully put the fire out. US Navy Admirals get administrative hearings, done by other Admirals, and are allowed to quietly retire with their pensions. The seaman apprentice took a trial by court martial and without a jury. The presiding judge listened to the case and acquitted the seaman apprentice.

I'm not so sure.
Given how the real world works and the amount of corruption present throughout the globe (USA included), I'm actually worried that only 1 Admiral in a whole branch of US military was court-martialed... especially if we take into consideration the fact that particular admiral was court-martialed on the grounds of 'sodomy'.

I wonder how many other admirals may have done actual acts throughout their service records that could be described as 'actually bad', but got away with them just because the system works as it does.

When you look at how the modern justice system works... its not in line at all with our understanding of epigenetics or neuroscience to begin with.

This one was pretty good! Usually body switches and "Admiral gone mad" tropes annoy me, but this was done in a way that made it more fun. Sad news about Dal and his augment DNA, though. Starfleet's gotta get that stick out of their ass and find ways to let people serve. They did it for Julian Bashir, they can do it for Dal.

And unless she's written out of Starfleet in the years before Kirk takes command Una(Number One) has been an Augmented Starfleet officer and is second-in-command of the most important starship in the Federation. She made it this far and tossing her entire career including her service with Pike all because she hid her Illyrian Augment heritage would be a pretty damning indictment of even the less advanced 23rd century Federation.

By all accounts, Julian Bashir was going to be expelled from Starfleet and later episodes say he was a special case and restrictions around Augments still apply.

 

[NCC-73515]

Since his augmentations can apparently be activated and deactivated, perhaps he simply has to swear he won't activate them again

Just some things I noticed in the fleet.

I wasn't sure about those - probably more Centaurs

 

[cooleddie74]

They'll either write Una out of Starfleet or find some way to classify her status for the sake of Captain Pike and his ship. It would sort of fall in line with how Bashir is treated 115 years later. Quietly deal with the case, sweep certain details under the rug and keep the Augment rules intact.

Lot of Sovereigns ... Regular Royal hodown. Wonder if the Enterprise is in there?

 

[Tuskin38]

(Actually, I'm going to guess that they were all labeled and registered with the same name and number. Which would also mean that all those Sovereigns are probably cut-and-paste Enterprise-E's.)

I strongly suspect that, if anything, they're blank (in the grand tradition of DS9's CG fleets).

A trailer was shown on Nick in the UK a week or 2 back showing the names of two of the ships

Spoiler

At least one of the Centaurs is the USS Centaur (registry number is visible), and the USS Sovereign, using the registry number from Bridge Commander NCC-73811

That registry is higher than the Van Citters NCC-72504.

Somehow, Prodigy episodes just get better and better. Looking forward to how they end Season 1...

I wonder... do you think we'll see any returning Trek cast members captaining or serving on any of those ships?

 

[Paul755]

Mulgrew was really good in this playing Dal. The scene with the two Janeways was good as well.

I say again…the Dauntless is one ugly damn ship.

also, this was a much better mind swap episode than “Spock Amok”. Granted, they weren’t going for “madcap romcom” here but still.

 

[Tuskin38]

This finally gave a name to Janeway's sister 'Phoebe' which comes from Jeri Taylor's Mosaic.

And "Threshold", too.

Agreed about the Dauntless. I'm sorry folks who like the ship, but I think it is truly ugly as sin. It feels overdone, as nebulous a description as that may be.

 

[NCC-73515]

It's not as ugly as the C or the Norway or the Yeager
I like the mushroom arrow hull part, just the nacelles and engine section look odd.

 

[Markonian]

Highly enjoyable episode.
Loved seeing the star fleet at the end.
Btw, non-canon sources like STO call the Centaur's ship type the Centaur class.

If one of the ships in the fleet is the Enterprise-E, could it be duffed up by the living construct thus showing us how weve gotten to the F in Picard season 3?

I hope not. That would mean that the ship only had an 11 year lifespan.
