Spoilers Star Trek: Prodigy General Discussion Thread

[137th Gebirg]

You're not imagining it. It really was an amazing series.

I'm away from home at the minute, staying somewhere that has streaming services so I'm (finally!) getting to see Prodigy series 2.

Prodigy has turned out to be my favourite of the "new" Trek. I don't find that I'm labouring to find "good" points, and I care about the characters in a way that I haven't for any of the other recent Treks.

Edit for spelling

That's what I liked about it. It really felt like an ensamble show, and I cared about everyone. Also, Janeway was a side character and it gave room for the main new characters to shine, unlike say Picard which kicked the new characters off after Season 2 (Minus Raffi).

More like during season 2. Soji was only in episode 1 and the actress was then recast as a different character; much the same happened to Laris aside from her token return at the end; Elnor was absent for most of the season; and Jurati's and Rios's arcs culminated in both of their departures from the cast. So it was already essentially down to Picard, Raffi, and Seven by the end of season 2.

Laris also had a brief though meaningless cameo in the S3 premiere.

Yes, of course, but my point is that much of season 2 was devoted to gradually phasing out most of the season 1 characters, so it wasn't something that started in season 3. It was something that finished in season 3.

I would have liked to see Picard and Laris together one more time. I know it was the reunion of the TNG cast and how they ended it was nice, but maybe an epilogue set a few years into the future just showing Picard and Laris together or something. How Picard handled it's cast was actually one of the reasons I was sour on it.

Likewise, I would have liked to have seen a meeting between Data and Soji.
