Spoilers Star Trek: Prodigy General Discussion Thread
- Thread starter The Overlord
- Start date
That's not what I read. 3 episodes have aired, then we get 2 more this year (Nov. 11, 18), then 10 more starting Jan. 6. Although the article does say "second half", there's 15 in total. But more likely it's a typo, and the second half is only 5 episodes, for 10 in total.
Aren't Prodigy and Disco supposed to be airing at the same time?
They were making a big deal out of it a while back.
The wording on that article's a little clumsy, but Trekmovie's already confirmed it and written an article that's a lot more in-depth. Basically 5 now, 5 in January, and an additional 10 later in 2022.
Someone on Reddit found a mention in Deadline of a 20 episode season back in February:
Why did we all think it was 10?

I mean, I didn't. It ends when it ends

maybe because LD and Picard both did 10 eps.
I should get overtime for this.
Ugh.. Reminds me of Voltron on the Netflix..
New episodes... When ever the hell they felt like it.. Really irritating..

I watched several action shows on Nickelodeon as they were airing originally the last several years, and they all had similarly infuriatingly sporadic and random release schedules.
As weird and unnecessary the hiatuses/delays are, I think it could have been worse if they aired on Nickelodeon first.
Paramount+ released the next episode’s name and description in this week’s press info today.
“Episode 104 – “Dreamcatcher” (Available to stream Thursday, November 11th)
The crew has their first away mission on an undiscovered planet that manifests their deepest desires, only to realize the planet has desires of its own.
Written by Lisa Schultz Boyd, directed by Steve Ahn & Sung Shin.”

Sounds like a retooled “Shore Leave”.
Shows borrow from each other all the time (I remember one Enterprise ep was a reworking of "One" from Voyager -- T'Pol and Phlox had to guide the ship through a toxic gas cloud all by themselves while the crew was in stasis. Lower Decks just had "An Embarrassment of Dooplers" -- which was their spin on Ye Olde Tribble episode.).

Rather, they all borrow from even earlier precedents. "Shore Leave" owed to precedents going back to ancient mythology, the Land of the Lotus Eaters or the realm of the faerie folk. David Gerrold admitted that his tribbles were antedated by Heinlein's Flat Cats and Ellis Parker Butler's "Pigs is Pigs," which owed in turn to the ecological crisis created by the release of rabbits in Australia.
There are no truly original stories, only different ways of putting the pieces together. There's an old saw that there are only seven different plot structures. But plot is not the only element of fiction. The same plot device applied to different characters in different contexts can produce wildly different results.
*Season premiere of Discovery
I was kind of hoping for a longer set of two-episodes-a-night, to better compare and contrast the two.
Of course, Discovery S4 (assuming no break) will air until January 20 (10 eps) or February 10 (13 eps), allowing concurrence with Eps 6-10 (Jan 6 to Feb 3) of Prodigy.
Discovery (or a Crossfield with a blurry registry) showed up on the Holofleet in Starstruck. Maybe a hint of further appearances? Maybe the fan theory that is growing that this is set well beyond 2383 has more merit to it, and it's actually a true crossover with Captain Burnham herself (or maybe Admiral Vance) revealing to us that it's another 32nd century production.
Hmm, which could mean the premiere of Picard could be on either February 10 or 17.
The dustbusting continues...
