News Star Trek Prodigy Cancelled, Season 2 to be shopped around

I also think someone will eventually buy it and show it. But what I don't see is that someone making more episodes of it.



Which means sarcasm was not remotely your intent.
Yes, yes it was. I just anticipated someone taking me too seriously.
 
Eh, 99% of the time when I've read or heard something like "I'm sure someone will do it" without specifying any realistic specfic person/group, the end result ends up being no one actually does it (because everyone thinks someone else will do it, ergo no one does it).
Well, as much as I wish I were, I'm not actually currently in a position to buy Prodigy. So it doesn't really matter if I pass the responsibility on to someone else or not.

Hi Tim Cook, nice to see you on here, don't worry we won't tell anyone else who you really are. And by the way, you should tell the Foundation tv show folks to actually follow the books, otherwise you might get a riot like Netflix's Witcher. And the Apple TV needs a wired private listening option like Roku has.

;) :p

Damn, was it that obvious? Well, I may as well tell you that Apple is going to buy Paramount soon. Look forward to iOS being replaced with LCARS.
 
Star Trek: Prodigy goes the way of the Planet of the Apes live action television series. Family viewing of a beloved property, but not profitable.
 
Anyways turns out I was wrong, sometime in July cravetv is losing all the Star Treks except SNWs according what folks on this sight. So official the only things left worth watching on Cravetv will be SNWs as well as Corner Gas & Republic of Doyle reruns.

RIP CTV SCI/CRAVETV.
I suspect there's more to this story. At least looking over the CTV Sci-Fi content my cable service provides On Demand all their shows (Star Trek and non-Trek) are all listed as being removed July 19, even SNW. Though this could be one of their weird "forms must be obeyed" type of things and many of those shows will be back almost right away. They've been doing that all year with the series The Ark, where each time we get to the date listed as when it'll be pulled from On Demand, it's back the next day with a new date listed for when it will be pulled.

I really don't think this logic applies to business decisions like whether or not to buy a property from an external provider to broadcast/stream. You think Netflix will go "oh, Amazon will probably buy it, so we don't need to"?

So this could be a false alarm? Good, I didn't want to get Paramount+ till the D&D show comes out.

If anything, that would just make them want it more.
 
Only because I wasn't there.



I was sort of expecting the series to have an abbreviated run. I would have been delighted to be wrong.



Where you saw the past, I saw progress. TNG regularly has women and POC in command roles, both as ship captains and admirals, and it tried to address LGBTQ issues allegorically. DS9 had a POC and a woman in command roles, and addressed same-sex romance far more directly. Voyager also had a woman and POC in command roles, and as for not continuing with LGBTQ matters, well... consider the showrunners.

And the times they aired. Having a black woman just on the bridge was a big deal in the 60s. Glirified receptionist or not. Ditto for an Asian & a Russian. Let's not forget Uhura taking command in TAS' The Lorelei Signal (spelling?).

TNG was an improvement on some fronts, for sure. But Gates & Marina & Denise were basically eye candy. Picard-Data-Riker were the new Kirk-Spock-McCoy. But it did get better as it went along. Whoopi was not insignificant. Pulaski was more interesting (for me), though most hated her for not loving Data instantly. Troi & Beverly did improve. At least the women were not in skirts. They came close to doing LGBTQ stuff with that Riker/androgeny/suicide episode.

DS9 was leaps and bounds better. POC captain. Kira and Dax very much in the meat of the show regularly. Best Trek relationship.

New Trek is leaps and bounds better on that stuff. The country is just in a vastly different place now. You have to grade on a curve, in my view.
 
It is my understanding that the studio is the ine who makes decisions in DVD/Blu releases.

Someone correct me if I am wrong in this. So if it CBS making that decision, wouldn't they try to make as much $$ as possible & do a physical release?

I truly hope you're right, and this is all a big system oddity or whatever. But I'm fairly sure the shows haven't had an "available until" date associated with them (like you are saying for The Ark), on the service itself, until now.

I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Given Bell has made no formal announcement about losing Star Trek, that seems very likely.

Do they typically issue a press release for shows that are leaving the service? (Not being sarcastic, genuinely asking. I don't often pay attention to that kind of thing.)
 
Checked yesterday, and P+ didn't mention anything about it leaving. They usually announce it on the show page... so people who don't follow such specific news didn't even know about it
