Spoilers Star Trek: Prodigy General Discussion Thread
- Thread starter The Overlord
- Start date
Something that helps make an artificial construct seem more human to a real human. In this case, the holo-Janeway drinking coffee. It is a totally unnecessary detail as it applies to function, but makes it more relatable. The “Uncanny Valley” is that gut feeling that something just isn’t quite right when it comes to a bot.
For kids of all ages that enjoy coloring there are some print-ready Prodigy coloring pages available from StarTrek.com with some nice shots of the heroes, the Protostar, and some of their gear, found here.
The last page seems to have the various tool modes of Jankom Pig’s cybernetic hand augmentation, and I’m looking forward to seeing him put them to use on the show.

No clue how many times this has been asked already but what is the arrangements for watching it in the UK? I'm assuming it won't be Netflix, but what about AmazonPrime?
I thought it was being held back until Paramount+ launched in the UK?
We have a clip of next week’s new episode of Prodigy, S01E06 Kobayashi, at the end of this week’s Ready Room, where
which is very cool to see rendered/animated.
we see Dal and Jankom Pog on an amazing Holodeck recreation of the Enterprise-D’s bridge
Apparently, each season is split into two "arcs" of ten episodes each:

That makes sense, and reaffirms my thinking that they’ll almost certainly plan on releasing each of these arcs/10 episode half seasons a calendar year.
There's also a shot of the Kobayashi Maru. Appears to be inspired by the Kelvin Timeline design
Why can’t the protostar bridge have a look like that?
1. It's not the Enterprise-D
2. There woud've been accusations of backsliding towards pre-2005 Trek

I mean have a more Star Trek look to it. Like the Ceritos bridge.
Accusations? That it should look like a Trek show?
This is not Trek enough?
Granted, it's missing the leather seats and carpeted interior of the D. Aesthetically, it's closer to the NX-01 or Disco (which makes it Trek).
3. It's ugly.
I get more of a JJ vibe to it, which just looks like generic sci fi to me.

It's utilitarian.
Alex Kurtzman was joined to JJ at the hip on ST '09, so that's to be expected.
I was referring to the D bridge.
I have nostalgia for it, but the aesthetic has always felt like a very bland ‘90s car interior to me.
That's a bizarre way of putting it. If Kurtzman was "joined" to anyone at the time, it was Roberto Orci, who had been his writing partner since their earliest days on Sam Raimi's Hercules: The Legendary Journeys a dozen years before and would continue to be until 2014. After their years with Raimi and before Star Trek, they had worked for Abrams on three other projects, Alias from 2001-03, Mission: Impossible III in 2006, and Fringe in 2008-9. They had written movies for several other filmmakers in the interim, including Michael Bay twice. Hardly "joined at the hip." Abrams was one of various people who employed the duo. On ST '09, they were probably the most junior members of a writer's room that also included Abrams, Bryan Burk, and Damon Lindelof. But they went their own way later on, and then split up and pursued separate careers.
It makes no sense to assume that Abrams is Kurtzman's only influence, because that ignores the numerous other producers and directors he's worked with over the years, including Orci, Raimi, Michael Bay, Martin Campbell, Jon Favreau, and Zack Snyder (he and Orci did an uncredited script polish on Watchmen). And it makes no sense to assume that a creator's style is defined only by someone they previously worked with. Look at Ron Moore -- everything he did after Trek was about going against how things had been done on Trek. Or look at Bryan Fuller, whose post-Voyager work (Wonderfalls, Dead Like Me, Pushing Daisies, Hannibal) could not have looked less like Voyager. Nobody in this business wants to imitate someone else forever. They want to make their own names, define their own styles.
