I mean, we've all made our crush in the Sims, right?

y'all this show is trying to end me

I feel like Star Trek Prodigy is not getting enough attention. It's a great show and a good starting point if you don't know much about Star Trek (it also ties in well with other shows in the franchise). 🖖

And it's a beautifully animated show.

Maybe watch it so we have a chance of getting a third season. 😊

First time watching Prodigy with a non Trekkie

It was really interesting to watch Prodigy with a friend who knows nothing about Star Trek, and to see how well Prodigy introduces a new audience to its themes, concepts, and worlds.

Whenever she had a question, one of the characters would almost immediately ask and answer that same question, which was a huge plus. Great writing there. You don't notice these things until you watch with someone who knows nothing about Trek. A lot of thought and effort went into seamlessly blending the questions and answers into the story.

She said Dal was annoying her, but that's because she realised he's essentially her, in her lack of Trek knowledge, and serves as the audience’s vessel, asking the questions the viewers might not know. Dal's role is absolutely crucial from the audience introduction side of Prodigy.

She really loved Gwyn and ofc Murf (his evolved state as well).

A lot of moments got to her as well. Tears were bent.

It was funny seeing her exhale in frustration during the S1 finale, saying, 'Can anything go right just for once???' xD

We reached and finished S2E5 before she had to go back home (she lives in a different city), and I had to ask her what she thought about the J/C status. She was like, 'Pffffft, they're romantically involved, no question about that.'

Oh, and she asked if all Star Trek was like this because she thought Trek was just a bunch of people in a room talking diplomacy, lol.

If you haven’t checked out Star Trek Prodigy you’re missing out on some of the absolute best Star Trek ever.

Season 2 dropped on Netflix yesterday. I’m half-way through and it. is. FANTASTIC.

Happy Star Trek Day!

Let’s all celebrate by watching Prodigy on Netflix all day!

I know I'm *very* late to this party but I had to get this out there.

Star Trek: Prodigy is fantastic and deserves a third season.

It's an easily accessible gateway for newcomers to the Trek universe, while having lots of Meaty Lore Implications for returning fans to dig into. I appreciate that Prodigy uses its callbacks and returning characters meaningfully, expanding our understanding of this universe and allowing it to grow and change.

And that's just the Trek aspect; it's also *a great show* in its own right. Prodigy manages to balance its tightly plotted overarching story with Classic Trek-esque planet-of-the-week episodes, without feeling too frenetic or too filler-y. It's nice to get to know the characters' quirks and idiosyncrasies (20+ episode seasons, how I've missed you), especially in episodes like Ghost in the Machine.

Speaking of characters, I love how the central characters are allowed to act their age. Sometimes they goof off! Sometimes they miscommunicate! They haven't figured everything out yet, and their struggles with identity and purpose are extremely relatable to kids both former and current.

I haven't even touched on the stunning visuals and score, but I can't possibly express all of my praise for this show in one post, so suffice it to say:

@netflix Renew Star Trek: Prodigy!

We need 7 seasons (and a movie)

Star Trek Prodigy is one of the overall highest rated Star Trek series to date. It was saved by dedicated fans who campaigned hard to get Netflix to pick it up. Everyone who worked on the series has been excited and wanting to do more. Season 2 of Prodigy is one of the current best selling Blu-Ray DVD sets on Amazon. The show has been seen by and reviewed more positively in one month than in the 2 years since it was initially debuted. Like I cannot begin to tell you how hard it was to drum up interest in this show back during Season 1, and now it’s one of the most favorited Trek series in this current batch of Star Trek revitalizations.

Maybe I’m just feeling optimistic in the first time in years but… how could this NOT be a win for Netflix to pick up? This seems like the perfect storm of profitable for them. I really hope Netflix is smart and orders at least one more season. Please! 🙏

My favourite image of Dal is from the first epsiode of Season 2 when his face is so full of wonder watching the ships fly past while at the Academy. He grows a lot in Season 2, and I hope that we get a Season 3 to see more of his joy and wonder as they discover new things!

Dal R'el from Star Trek Prodigy because we need more of this crew and this show and how marvellous it is.

Digital painting by me (while ill and between Christmas social engagements. I'm working on the rest I promise).

[commandermeg]

This! The show is picking up a lot of steam on Twitter, which is amazing, but it needs all the views it can get.

[trekkiemage]

No matter what reality we’re in…

[robertbeltrantime]

I have no idea how long we have to ask, but keep on doing it: @Netflix please be so kind an #SetACourseForSeason3 #StarTrekProdigy - #StarTrek need & deserve a new generation & they need some positive role models, a lot of us need and deserve a good #J/C story 😊

Just watched the latest episode of this podcast, and Aaron just said Netflix will be continuing to gather viewer data until December 31st to decide whether or not to order a 3rd season of Prodigy.

If you want to see the show continue, or if you've been meaning to catch up and watch it, now's the time! Stream when you get the chance!

"I fully expected for Prodigy to go three, four, five years, just because I knew it was that good. And so, the way it ended our relationship, the JC relationship ended after season 2, I thought was a beautiful lead up to something that could have been really even more beautiful in the coming seasons. Three, four, five, six, or seven.

But I think that what was beautifully established was a respect and a love that could be platonic love, or it could be romantic love. But even at this point between the two series, they haven’t really had a chance to explore a personal relationship in a way where you can really give it time. The writers can take two or three or four episodes and explore maybe a marriage at the end of it, at the end of season seven of Prodigy.

Explore the relationship, the intimacy, which doesn’t have to be sexual, but just the attraction that they had for each other, at the very least an intellectual attraction. But of course, it was much more than that.

It just hasn't had the... At the end of season 2, the relationship grew stronger, and something beautiful can happen in (seasons) three, four, five, and on, but I don’t know if that’ll ever be given a chance because of the nature of the business. But I hope so. I hope they will revive this for a few more seasons." - Robert Beltran

need someone to explain mirror janeways borg implants. preverrably in another season of star trek prodigy *cough cough*

my head went super dark there ngl, imagining instead of rescueing any borg - cause the terran empire does not do rescue missions - she just went and ripped sevens implant out and got it inserted into herself. but i'd take mirror janeway killing the borg queen and taking over as well.
