Spoilers Star Trek: Prodigy 2x20 - "Ouroboros, Part 2"
- Thread starter Commander Richard
- Start date
There was, in true Trek fashion they snuck it in under the censors by having Zero and Maj'el do the romantic Vulcan hand thing.
I don’t mean with those two. What a weird relationship that is. It gives me Yaphit/Claire vibes.
Too bad they didn't pull an AHSOKA and just make SFA a live action continuation of PRODIGY. The writing team certainly earned that kind of promotion.
My problem with the ending. Yes, they sent the Protostar back. But you still need the future Solum civil war following the (second) first contact with the Prometheus-class ships, Ilthuran becoming The Diviner and going back in time, and setting up the prison colony. Just hard to see all that happening exactly with everything that happened on Solum in season 2.
That was a very good finale, and an excellent season. I do have to agree though the whole Protostar going back in time to Tars Lamora and then everything happening as it did is hard to believe. Is that an alternate reality thing or what? I did like the tie in to Picard and was actually surprised thats how they ended it. Also, Wesley meeting Jack was pretty cool, as well as the reunion between Wes and Beverly.
Prodigy really did knock it out of the park this season. If it ends here, I am appreciative of 2 great seasons what was originally billed as a Kids Show. It became so much more than that, and I think I would rank it 2nd in my favorite Trek series behind TNG/DS9 (tied).

That would in fact have made the most sense, but of course then they wouldn't have been able to do it in Disco Timeline, and Alex Kurtzman has his heart set on using that time period for nepotism reasons.
They established that that occurred in a Kelvin verse style alternate timeline via Asencia ranting about how nothing they did would change what happened to her Solum.
Finished binging the whole season just a bit ago, they stuck the sh*t out of that landing is all I can articulate right now. Absolutely fantastic.
I remember that, so sending the protostar back causes a predestination paradox that can't be changed? I was a little iffy on the whole time travel aspect of this season, but it didn't detract from my enjoyment of it.
I always wondered how someone would make Traveler era Wesley Crusher work if anyone ever brought him back for a substantial role. “What if Traveler Wesley Crusher was The Doctor from Doctor Who, but with a sweater fetish?” is f—ing amazing and a characterization I 100% support as both a Trekkie and a Whovian.
As someone else mentioned, I suspect the alternate future civil war Solum is a separate timeline, the events of which are more or less 'static', then bleed into the Prime and is otherwise something that 'needs' to happen for the purpose of causality (or something to that effect).
The Hageman Brothers on the future of Star Trek: Prodigy.
Dan Hageman: "I honestly feel like season 3 can either come in a couple of years or it can come in 15 years. You never know how long it could take. It could be live-action. There's a lot of possibilities of what it can be. What I love about Trek fans is that they're completionists, so they're going to be watching. All the people who haven't watched Prodigy will get around to watching Prodigy. And once they get around to watching Prodigy, they're gonna want to see season 3. So I feel like we're gonna get a swell of interest at some point in time."
Kevin Hageman: "Well, it's been a while [since] we finished [season 2]. We don't have offices anymore. We're in our homes right now. I know that everyone in our crew, we had such a delight working on this show. So, I look forward to that day when we can make that call, we get a call from Alex Kurtzman, and they're like, 'Netflix has an appetite [for more Prodigy]'. Whether it's an animated film, a sequel, or if it's a third season. But to be able to call up our crew and actors, I know everyone who can would love to come back."

Just finished the series. I was cheering, and a little sad, as I was calculating the age of the kids. Who gets assimilated later?!
Predestination paradox's can be changed, we know that from Voyager.
From what was said in season the real problem was various bits of temporal shielding basically wedging the timeline between two different states since that attracts the monsters to eat it.
Mind, I really wish Wesley had explained why they can't just kill the monsters since that seemed to be completely possible to do once they matched their phase frequency.
Looking back, I think the time stuff could have been a lot better explained. That might be my only qualm with the season, but everything else was so top notch that it feels like a minor complaint. Maybe that goes with the whole theme of Temporal Mechanics 101 and how confusing it is and that's the in-joke. Maybe looking it at that way (Kind of the whole lower decks joke thing) makes that more easy to accept.

Possibly.
Either way though since everything else was just generally excellent it's just a minor nitpick that isn't very important to the overall story.
Just finished the entire season in 2 big chunks. Lots to process, but I think this might go down as one of the best seasons of a Star Trek production ever. Loved how they tied to some many things together both big and small, but still managed to bring their own stuff to the table (ie they didn't rehash the villains). All the episodes kinda merge together in my mind, so I'll just rate the whole season as a 10/10.
Though it's a slim chance, I hope they do a season 3. It would be interesting to see what the kids were up to during Season 3 of Picard. I think a (family-friendly) Lower Decks crossover would also be cool.
