Regarding a third season, I know you have said it’s possible. What is your level of confidence? Is this now just like any other show on Netflix awaiting a season pickup if it does well?

Kevin Hageman: I would guess more than doing well. We don’t know anything about season 3 yet. But what from what I see of Netflix when they do pickup shows for a season 3, which is very rare, it’s not about doing well, it has to do gangbusters.

Dan Hageman: Most things only get 2 seasons.

Kevin Hageman: I think it’s going to be a real challenge. And I think it has to be bigger than just the Star Trek audience watching it as much as they can. It’s about breaking into kids who are [not already fans]

Dan Hageman: But let’s also put it into perspective. Lower Decks is five seasons, but those seasons are 10 episodes. Ours is 20 episodes. We got 40 episodes. It’s a lot of content out there. So it kind of comes down to: are there large watch-throughs of the season? Where’s the appetite? Do people want more Prodigy? Obviously, Kevin and I want more Prodigy. But happy with how we left things off at the end of the season 2. We feel like there’s a nice place to stop, but also a new adventure to pick up if we want to.

Kevin Hageman: Doing a show like this is not cheap, doing 20 episodes. So, my hope is we get a great-sized audience, but if it’s not big enough to warrant another season, there’s always option B. Which would be, let’s do a 90-minute animated film, the sequel which could start the film franchise.

This is probably a good time to acknowledge that the current MB government isn't shaping up to have a great environmental record, taking a bold stand against the federal carbon tax and fighting to keep zebra-mussel-positive lakes to be kept open.

Okay, the lore on these things is convoluted-but-fun.

These alien vessels were provided to the Khitomer Alliance by a variant Iconian civilization that was found in a neighboring dimension, after a strike team that included an Aetherian ally helped ward off an existence-threatening attack by their variant version of the Borg. Significant similarities exist between these starships, and the Obelisk Carriers found in our own reality, though with more modernized technology and capabilities, including an even more resilient structural field, and improved mobility.

individual discussion threads for each episode that come out one or two a day,

BRB adding this as an option

Personally, I prefer option 1, if enough people are going to participate.

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.

Nothing, nor would I be interested in trying.

 

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.

My Agents of Yesterday character became my main for a very long time - lots of fun.

I despise ranking things, as I find it reductive.

That said, I think "Boom," "73 Yards," and "Dot and Bubble" were all-timers, with every other episode being sone degree of "fine," in my opinion.

"Space Babies" probably comes in last.

I actually have a Dyson Sphere themed character, so I might have an excuse to use it regularly!

I want to see more screenshots, but it sure looks purdy.

Sounds like that's exactly it - it's only briefly mentioned:

At this point in the episode as originally scripted, RTD explains, the Remembered TARDIS had collapsed and disappeared after depositing the Doctor, Ruby and Mel in 2046. That was an SFX sequence too far for this already-packed episode, and so it was cut from the script.
