With Prodigy season 2 poised to drop 20 episodes on us on Monday, we're trying to decide how to manage the discussions. Each option has its pros and cons, so why not put it to the group? The way I see it, we have three options:

  1. One discussion thread per episode, with an index pinned to the community for convenience.

  2. Four discussion threads, breaking the season into 5-episode blocks, with an index pinned to the community for convenience.

  3. One megathread to discuss the season, with no episodic threads.

  4. Individual episode threads, dropped at a rate of two per day.


Edit: Based on the response, we'll go with Option 1. I might space out the actual posts somewhat, though, to avoid spamming the "All" feed too much.

 

NARRATOR: It did work.


One of the all-time great episodes for my money, though I can absolutely see why that script would make them nervous.

Well, there was the FASA game from the 80s, and Decipher had one in the 2000s.

Modiphius is the current license-holder, and has published both the First Edition under discussion here, and has a Second Edition coming out later this year.

Either way, their dimensions are so different that I guess it would be pretty hard to determine which has the greater internal volume.

Yeah, as recently as June 4, Prodigy-related content on StarTrek.com said the following in the footer:

Star Trek: Prodigy Season 1 is available to stream on Netflix outside of markets including Canada where it is available on CTV.ca and the CTV App, France on France Televisions channels and Okoo, in Iceland on Sjonvarp Simans Premium, as well as on SkyShowtime in the Nordics, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, and Central and Eastern Europe.

This latest announcement says:

Star Trek: Prodigy will stream on Netflix globally (excluding Canada, Nordics, CEE, Netherlands, Spain, Portugal, Poland, Russia, Belarus and Mainland China) and Season 1 is currently available on SkyShowtime in the Nordics, the Netherlands, Spain, Portugal and Central and Eastern Europe with Season 2 coming soon. Season two has launched in France on France Televisions channels and Okoo.

They've completely dropped the CTV reference, even though season 1 is still available there.

TNG's costume department had a lot of...interesting ideas.

And in Prodigy's case, Paramount's press releases have never mentioned the Sci-Fi channel - just the website and app. And now they're not even mentioning those...

Honestly, I don't think it's looking good.

I'd wager it's the dreadnought, and it's not particularly close.

The Breen ship absolutely dwarfs Federation HQ.

The Enterprise-J is huge, but I find fans often exaggerate its size even further.

The new uniforms look pretty white to my eyes.

Did Eaglemoss get to any of those before they went under? Maybe they're trying to avoid duplication.

While I absolutely do not want to defend Rick Berman, I also think it's important to acknowledge that his brand of assholishness was not unique (and, frankly, still isn't).

Personally, I'm just excited to see their li'l sailor suits in action.

Edit: Canadawatch continues, as references to CTV no longer appear in the description of availability.

I don't think what they were doing in the Delta Quadrant would meet many (good) definitions of "capitalism."

And it's difficult to say how "martial law" could be imposed on a command structure that was already militaristic.
