And even those unforced errors go further than that, IMO. How many directors have been announced for new movies which ultimately don't happen? Why was another Kelvin movie announced before the cast was approached? Star Trek Beyond was botched in a dozen ways. Anniversaries came and went with...
I don't think that's Debbie Downer...I think that's reality. It seemed like they tried to serve all masters at once:
- Kids: with Murf and Rok especially;
- Adult Fans: addition of Janeway, Chakotay, Okona, et al.; and
- Adult Non-Fans: setting it outside of Starfleet so continuity baggage...
Star Trek: Prodigy cancelled and being removed from Paramount+.
Season 2 will finish post-production and it's looking for a new home.
‘Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies’, ‘Star Trek: Prodigy’, ‘The Game’ & ‘Queen of the Universe’ Canceled At Paramount+ As Streamer Pulls Shows From Service &...
"Supernova Part II" felt like a series finale or a natural end point for the series ahead of a soft reboot in Season Two. The main storylines are all wrapped up, there is no cliffhanger left to resolve next season. Our characters are all in good places. The one thing they have not done is find...
Josh, Please take this in the spirit it is intended: I am glad you see the same thing I do and the issues are not just "in my head." :) That episode is super important to the entire series and the characters...but falls flat. It feels like filler...but isn't. I can admire the individual...
Watched "Preludes" last night (1x16, if anyone is counting). There's something about this episode which is hitting me weird. On the one hand, it gives great background to most of the main characters by showing their backstories. It's a believable way of doing this-waiting for the Protostar to...
I'm weeks behind in Prodigy, but I'm trying to catch up a little at a time. I've gotten through "Crossroads" and "Masquerade" (Episodes 14 and 15). This show, finally, is starting to ramp up and feel like something I can get behind every week. There are real stakes, the main characters have...
I'm not even talking billboards. I'm talking the stuff you're talking about: trailers, teasers...
I mean, let's be real: Strange New Worlds doesn't have a soundtrack release yet. Picard S2's home video release was just plopped into October, half a year away from the new season (generally, but...
Yeah, some was COVID and that's why airing got out of whack.
But the overlapping scheduling by weeks for new episodes wasn't COVID related. There was no need for it. It's not like they used one show to promote another or had a crossover or anything like that. They didn't make it some kind of...
You guys all know I have never understood the scheduling pattern for these shows. Prodigy is overlapping with LD's season finale; three episodes of Picard aired concurrently with the end of a Discovery season.
I understand the idea of cross promotion, but scheduling is confusing as all heck...
Absolutely 100%. The earlier forced break felt that way: forced. Having this two parter be the actual mid-season finale felt like it was more thought out in terms of pacing than what came before it. I would have even gone the extra route of putting an extra episode in the mix and then making...
I'm way behind in a lot of TV and finally got to watch "Kobayashi" this morning...and I was not impressed. The cameos were nice, but, as Adam said, I just couldn't use logic to justify why each person was there or the dialogue they were given.
If the computer was pulling the best of the best...
Ah part II...the mid-season finale. Going in, I wasn't sure five episodes then a break was a good idea. In hindsight, I think this was a great place for the show to take some time off. Why? Put simply, we have the Protostar's crew finally formed. Up to this point, Gwyn was "the other", the one...
Maybe it’s a piece of tech they got from Voyager? I mean, how many shuttles did they go through with limited resources?
Really, I thought it was pretty cool. A different kind of replicator, really. That’s it. Kinda like the tech to recreate Worf’s spike from Ethics…just with a technology...
I dunno, they're kids and not Starfleet officers.
Something is coming to mind about Prodigy and Lower Decks...I am not trying to start a fight or be antagonistic toward anyone. Simply something I've been thinking about.
Prodigy is crewed by kids with no Starfleet training who have been free...
Alright, “Starstruck.” Really concise and encompassing definition of the Federation from Janeway. Also a number of easter eggs in the projections including, but not limited to, Voyager, Defiant, Spock and a Constitution ship.
After their escape last week, this was a nice contained adventure so...
For me, there's nothing at all wrong with people watching on their own schedule. I do it all the time, and like you said, that was one of the great things about streaming.
I would like to understand what's going on. Maybe someone will ask the question at some point and we'll all know.
I...
I thought the same thing...why break up a season this short in the first place? You lose all momentum with the story, have to do brand new promotion AND now compete with new Discovery on the same service.
Maybe they learning no one watched those episodes on the holidays last year and everyone...
Renewed for S2: https://deadline.com/2021/11/star-trek-prodigy-renewed-season-2-paramount-1234869896/
Mid season finale is November 18. The season picks up again on January 6. Season 2 will premiere at some point next year.
For those keeping score, Discovery Season 4 premieres on the 18th...
I have not seen Rebels. Never made it through Clones Wars. Abandoned Bad Batch. Don't remember anything of Droids and Ewoks. I barely made it through the Freemaker shorts and the Lego shows on Disney+.
Well, let's be real about this. Trek has all but abdicated it's reputation as the leader in things like this. Aside from DS9 and S3 of Enterprise, they waited until the mid 2010's for true serialized story telling. Berman Era Trek abdicated talking about a lot of real world social issues...
Okay, “Lost and Found” surpassed any expectations I had for Prodigy. We got introduced to the main characters in an organic way, more or less, and got dropped into an existing situation (as opposed to the fresh starts other first episodes have had). It worked wonderfully and I didn’t feel the...
I fired it up this morning...got through the ads at the beginning and then realized it was a two part episode (45 minutes). I didn't have time for it, so I'll be watching after work tonight.
I'm not so sure. This week's Lower Decks, in addition to a random sample of random episodes of Enterprise, DS9, Voyager, Discovery and Picard do not have a Skip Intro option, at least that I saw using an Apple TV.
