  • Prodigy is great for what it's trying to be. If you don't like kids shows that's fine, but Prodigy is still teaching a new generation about Starfleet ideals and I think that's awesome. Strange New Worlds is also pretty decent.

  • I think in their efforts to make the crew less woke than in the TNG era to maintain continuity, they accidentally made the crew less woke than people are in 2024. I'm saying it aged poorly. For example I cite Trip being uncomfortable with polyamoury.

  • In the first episode of Discovery, the first officer stages a mutiny because her captain refuses to fire on the Klingons unprovoked.

    That is the kind of person who doesn't belong in Starfleet. She should be court martialed, sent back to Earth or Vulcan or wherever she wants to go, and encouraged to open a Vulcan fusion restaurant or something. I have no interest in continuing to watch that ship or those characters. I think a character like that would be fine in a different show or on a different ship. Maybe make the crew mercenaries instead of Starfleet officers. You could do Firefly in Star Trek, that would be awesome. But Discovery just doesn't look like Trek to me.

    Also the Klingons are really boring and I can't possibly see them enjoying a bottle of bloodwine or singing poems about Kah'less. IDK replace them with Breen or something. Not every Star Trek show has to be about the Klingon War.

  • Okay so what's your take on the core dilemma presented by the villain in Prodigy? Given an apparent choice between isolation and extinction, what do you think the right resolution is? Personally I think the conflict mirrors the real world isolation of Sentinel Island. And with the Sentinelese in mind, it starts feeling culturally insensitive to say isolation has no cultural excuse.

    Or do you think the question posed by Prodigy is overly simple?
