The interview goes into how Voyager-heavy this series is, so I suspect it was very deliberate.

That's actually from season one...I don't remember them getting into it too much, but
Season 1 spoilers
It seems Starfleet liked the quantum slipstream drive enough that they built their own version of the Dauntless from Voyager's records as a testbed. There are some subtle differences in the design.
To be honest, I have no idea how they even calculate what "makes money" in the streaming era. With ad-supported TV, I can see how you could calculate the relative value of each viewer, but for a streamer? I'm baffled as to how you would even do that math.
If Paramount had better infrastructure for a tween audience, and/or if the original plan to air it on Nickelodeon had come to fruition, maybe things would be different.
Ben Sisko, eat your heart out!
Sorry you're so enraged.
I think it's a conundrum - on the one hand, communities should probably have a reason exist.
On the other hand, you could argue that "people live here" should be enough. But that's obviously not sustainable.
Hopefully stuff like the pool will have a long-term impact of some sort, but it's obviously nothing close to a silver bullet.
Firstly, I should point out that it's completely possible to sing the praises of one show without crapping on another.
With that out of the way, I agree it's a damn shame Paramount+ cancelled Prodigy. I think it was probably the "right" decision on paper - the Hagemans themselves have said they were shown the numbers, and they weren't great - but that probably speaks to the inadequacies of their platform. It doesn't seem to be a good place for children's programming.
Regardless of whether we get more Prodigy, I hope it was well-loved by its target audience, and I hope that it helped to create a new generation of Trek who can carry on with "Starfleet Academy" and the other series as they grow up.
In fact, if anyone has kids who have been watching it, I'd love to hear what they thought of it.
Good theory - it's been a long time since I studied brain anatomy, but hyper-specific brain damage might be the only way to truly address Pike's situation as depicted in "The Menagerie".
I think it's a fine idea that requires a certain degree of community and camaraderie that I'm not sure exists in the Lemmyverse yet.
As a group, we're good at sharing articles - often stuff that makes us mad (and there's plenty of that to go around) - but less good at just...hanging out and shooting the shit.
I don't know what the solution is aside from, "be the change you want to see."
Hey look, a colossal waste of money that will accomplish nothing!
