Spoilers Star Trek: Prodigy 1x08 - "Time Amok"

Rate the episode...


  • Total voters
    86
Looking at the poll results, I find surprising that there isn’t a single negative vote. Seems that CBS is doing something very right with Prodigy!

CBS?
Pardon my ignorance, but what role does CBS has with Prodigy?
I was under the impression the content itself was down to the show creators (technically)
 
Its Dreadnock actually (but don't feel bad... I couldn't remember his name either).

Its also interesting that he knew all of Chakotay's command codes. That suggests Chakotay was indeed captured and interrogated by Dreadnock (at least).

There is another option (though this one might be out there)... what if Chakotay IS Dreadnock?... Or part of him ended up in Dreadnock?

Not necessarily - if they were able to completely hack the ship mainframe; all the codes would be there.

Gave this one as 8.
 
It's right there at the start of every episode. "A CBS Studios Production"

Huh, I keep missing that.
:)

Technically, but usually you can't just hack into the ships mainframe without knowing access codes or having a backdoor in (not even the Borg could break into VOY's computer and disrupting their shields without Tuvok's access codes).

So, the way I see it is that Dreadnok already had Chakotay's access codes from interrogating him... and its also possible he left a backdoor into Protostar systems from the first time he was onboard and attacked Chakotay and his crew - the Va'uk'nat code was in the system after all which messed up Holo Janeway's memories etc. - its possible this served as a backdoor entry into the ship's computer.

Plus, these are kids... point being, they don't have in-depth knowledge of cybersecurity... but I would imagine they don't have to have that because they could just give a few words to the computer to examine any possible entry points to the mainframe from external sources and to try and plug those 'holes' up.

Making a good episode of Star Trek isn't hard.

Which makes what's happened with Discovery all the more mind boggling.
 
To be fair, the scale doesn't go below zero. ;)
what I meant is that none is below 6, which is what we usually consider a passing grade.

not really: if they use any kind of decent cryptography the codes are not stored anywhere, only a key is stored and obtained using the provided combination of voice+codes.

Anyone else notice that the Drednok clone had the same colour scheme as the shuttle/rover?
ah, that was why! Nice touch!
