Star Trek Prodigy - Animated for da kidz. “This is gold pressed latinum” - rllmuk review

Also, the makers of this show are clearly gamers. Because this:

 

 

Is basically this:

 

 

Even the Runaway's designation of 07 is an Elite Dangerous reference.  

 

Mass Effect gets referenced too.

So did I just see an episode where someone clearly beats Kobiyashi Maru?  

 

Anyway this is also good Star Trek. Like really it is.  Enjoyed the entire first season more than Disco.

Billy Campbell is coming back as Thadiun Okona.

 

And a clip where he appears.

Didn't realise we're still in season 1. American scheduling is fucked.

 

Also, Jellico! Ronny Cox is back baby.

This is getting much more Trek-y now. The latest episode has

The Borg.

In a classic Orville thread style, I’m going to ask - is this worth persevering with ? Didn’t get on with the first three or four.

I thought it handled them really well too.

It could only go so far within its limits as a kids show, but I thought it did a good job at showing why the Borg used to feel so threatening. It was nice to see some more outlandish assimilated species too, beyond the usual regular humanoids.

Honestly, if you didn't like any of those then probably not, but it's a good show. It gets a lot more Star Trekky after the first couple, and while it's aimed at kids I think there's a lot to enjoy as an adult as well. The characters all get a decent amount of development, and there's some occasional but welcome returning characters from other Trek shows too.

It’s entertaining but not essential viewing, so not as highly recommended at The Orville or Lower Decks. It does get more Trek-y after five or six episodes though.

Hell of an unexpected throwback this week

The finalé is next week isn't it? This was just a part one.

 

It was really bloody good though.

Remember the end of Picard season 1, when they copy pasted the same ship a hundred times?

 

This was more like it.
