Spoilers Star Trek: Prodigy General Discussion Thread

It just has this optimism that so many fans say they want from the franchise, then a show has it in spades and it is totally ignored.

I’ve never understood why it was ignored so completely.
Cartoon?
Led by aliens?
Initially geared towards younger audiences?

It was touted as a "Nickelodeon cartoon aimed at children" from the beginning, and that didn't help.

It was a very respectful show, and surprisingly it didn't treat its audience like children.
