Spoilers Star Trek: Prodigy and the Novels
- Thread starter Mike Doyle
- Start date
Also, Brikkars change appearance depending on their age. During the course of the novels Zak Kebron basically shed his skin a'la Strata in DC Comics' LEGION books.
Indeed?
IIRC, Peter David was miffed when the first drawings of Brikars had necks (internal art in "Starfleet Academy" YA; covers of "New Frontier" novels). He was in consultation with the artists (Michael Collins & David Roach) for the WildStorm "New Frontier" comic, "Double Time", and considered that to be the definitive look for Kebron.
And yeah, Kebron's appearance also morphs somewhat in one of the novels.
For the lack of anything better, would anyone like to repurpose this preexisting thread as the dedicated Prodigy-in-relation-to-novelverse thread? I'm a little surprised this forum hasn't seen more activity as Prodigy season 1 has progressed.
I started the thread and I’m more than happy for this.
The reason I’ve not said any more on the subject might be the same reason there hasn’t been more discussion from others… I don’t live in the US and have therefore not been able to watch any prodigy.
Makes sense to me.
There haven't been that many references that relate to the novelverse. A bit about Medusans, maybe, but nothing that directly impinges on The Higher Frontier yet.
Suggestion to a mod: merge in this thread which addresses a virtually identical matter.

Well, I hope this thread fulfills anyone's expectations.

Oh dear, haha. I have linked this thread to my recently-created thread for Strange New Worlds which links to parallel spoiler threads for other Paramount+ series.
Well, I hope this thread fulfills anyone's expectations.
OK, done.
OK, then, let's make it so. I have renamed the thread to be something more generic, and have added the Spoilers tag.
Since this is now the official Prodigy & the novels discussion thread, uncoded spoilers from Star Trek: Prodigy are allowed.
Enjoy!
We don't seem to have a "Prodigy and the Novelverse" thread (maybe we should combine/retitle the threads on this theme?), but today's Prodigy episode establishes something about the life of Ensign Garrovick from "Obsession" that decisively invalidates any story showing him active in Starfleet post-TOS (including Home is the Hunter, In the Name of Honor, and the graphic novel Debt of Honor, although the first of those already contradicts the latter two).
Was literally about to post about this right in this very thread. Just watched the episode. Yikes.
Oh. I tried searching for "Novelverse" in thread titles, so that would explain why I couldn't find it.
Since the thread does exist, I've moved the Prodigy discussion here, so that each thread can remain focused on its individual show topic. As well, we can have uncoded Prodigy spoilers here, but they wouldn't be allowed in the Lower Decks thread.
I just watched the episode, but missed hearing the Ensign's name. (I assume it was in the log entry, but I didn't catch it.) Garrovick, was it? Wow. I wonder what emotional turmoil Kirk went through after that...
Yes, it was. Memory Alpha also theorizes that since the shuttle is the Galileo rather than the Galileo II, Garrovick must've been lost sometime between "The Immunity Syndrome" and "The Way to Eden." Although the original Galileo was lost in its debut episode, so the one in the second season really should've been the "II."
It's Mumy, and you would be wrong.
