Yes, it was captain Garrovick's son, the rare ensign who survived an away mission with James Kirk. Confirmed by Aaron Waltke.Could it be Captain Garrovick of the USS Farragut’s son, David, who crashed on the planet? His son was an ensign on the USS Enterprise under the command of Kirk so could have had access to the Galileo shuttle. It would be tragic if it was him. It could all just be a coincidence though.

It is Ensign Garrovick. No coincidence required.Could it be Captain Garrovick of the USS Farragut’s son, David, who crashed on the planet?

I wonder what Ensign Garrovick’s mission was? Garrovick was obviously lost in action but I don’t think that it was explained properly in the episode, though it is possible that I was also not paying proper attention. I wonder if he was travelling alone on this mission which would have been unusual. If he was not travelling alone… what ever happened to the rest of the Galileo crew that he was travelling with on this mission/journey? I guess that the Prodigy crew now have the shuttle logs from the crash so Janeway or some Federation historians can investigate properly some day. But we will probably never know.

Definitely. And their voices probably too old sounding for the characters anyway.
I thought the same as well, especially with the description of the glowing eyes of the Gallows, but the lack of white hair in the natives felt wrong.
I think you are mixing the Apple and The Way to Eden.
Oh, my God...

@eschaton I'm so sorry. You have to understand that when I responded to your post initially, I hadn't even seen the episode yet. Not quite what I was expecting...
Yeah. I'm going to skip to the next episode. I mean, I'm sure the kids would love it, and if I were a kid, I'd love it too. But I'm not... so yeah... Skipping to the next episode! I just can't. Wow.

I strongly recommend finishing the episode — the second half totally flips the first half on its head and makes a really powerful story about duty and belief, with cool connections to canon.
Okay, if it's worth it, I'll sit through the worst William Shatner impression I've ever heard in my life for the full duration.
I did not. Takes me back to "Plato's Stepchildren", which was also intentionally painful.
Apparently Garrovick must have liked to do funny impersonations of his commanding officers
Anyway...
Putting it back on where I left off, now that I'm back from work.
Prodigy usually plays it straight, which is why this threw me off so much. Which is also why my real-time reaction was pretty much, "What the Hell is THIS?!?!!"

Or the Enderprizians got their impressions of Kirk and Sulu's speaking voices from the Galileo's computer systems. It probably had copies of the real Kirk and Sulu speaking.
As most impressions of Kirk are.
Indeed, when people imitate Kirk, they're not literally imitating Kirk. They're imitating Kevin Pollak imitating Kirk.
Okay, three days later, I finally got around to picking up where I left off. Glad I did. Good episode. The terrible Shatner impersonation is forgiven.
Hmm. We have a "cargo cult." And with primitives as imitative as Iotians. Hell, they're as imitative as Anderson and Dickson's Hokas! (Too bad they're not virtually indestructible living teddy bears.)
I agree that elements of it were very annoying at first, but got less so. At least we get (except for a few scenes) a break from the "Diviner Arc." And the annoyances are worth it.
Nice caricature of Shatner's delivery. I wonder if he's seen the episode.
Now that I think about it, it almost reads like somebody had dumped a pallet-load of old Gold Key ST comic books on them.

The first (at least since Kirk took over from Pike) Galileo was lost in "The Galileo Seven."Garrovick's shuttle was the Galileo
Too bad it was lost though
LD is a cartoon: a caricature, intended to draw laughs. This is not, and neither was TAS, despite being animated in fours, sixes, eights, twelves, and worse.
LD is a comedy that's why it's intended to "draw laughs".
That's...ridiculous!
Of course LD is a comedy. But it goes beyond that.
TAS, for all its bargain-basement-budget, at least attempted to animate the characters naturalistically. It wasn't Disney-level naturalistic animation, but it aspired to be. And it wasn't (except for "More Tribbles, More Troubles," "The Practical Joker," and maybe "Mudd's Passion") a comedy.
The character design in PRO is somewhat less naturalistic, but not to the point where the very appearance of the characters is intended to be funny.
The LD character design, on the other hand, is highly caricatured, mostly of the "big eyeball" style (cf. The Simpsons, Family Guy, American Dad, and such newspaper strips as Garfield, Get Fuzzy, Mother Goose and Grimm, and Fox Trot).
It's not a comedy because it's (visually speaking) a cartoon, but rather, the producers made the conscious decision to make it, visually, a cartoon because it's a comedy.
I find myself thinking of some familiar comic strips. I seem to recall an "April Fools" Beetle Bailey strip in which the characters were drawn naturalistically. And I know that there was an "April Fools" Pearls Before Swine strip in which Pastis drew Pig realistically, like an actual Sus domesticus.
Huh? I wasn’t talking about Lower Decks. I was talking about Prodigy.
Exactly. LD is a cartoon, the way Baseball Bugs is a cartoon. PRO and TAS are not cartoons, the way Disney's Cinderella is not a cartoon.
