        I’m always stunned to hear from Star Trek fans who haven’t tried any of the animated shows. They may not be to everyone’s taste - but…not to even give them a try?

        I understand that there’s a real bias among some against animation as a media form, but even TAS rose above the norms for American Saturday morning cartoons to get the franchise’s only series Emmy.

        Anyhow, I keep finding myself encouraging fans to at least give each of the three animated series a run through. Even the two intended for younger audiences - TAS and Prodigy - are really designed to appeal to all ages.

        Especially now, with Star Trek Prodigy needing to find a new home, it’s all the more important to give them the support of views. #SaveStarTrekProdigy!

          I started with DISCO, then PIC, then SNW. I don’t think there’s any particular reason I haven’t watched TAS, Lower Decks or Prodigy🤔

            Well, whatever the reason, that means you’ve got a lot of yet to be seen Trek content to enjoy.

            I’d recommend working through TAS’ 22 short episodes first. Lower Decks makes a lot of callbacks to TAS and even Prodigy has a few.

      Where can I watch prodigy? I’ve googled, and I’m confused and sad now.

        It’s only available to purchase - either as a DVD set or through an Apple,Amazon etc.

        At least until it finds a new home.

            The cancellation was announced just before the end of the last quarter along with a couple of other shows. The justification was better alignment of their core streaming strategy but it wasn’t convincing.

            It doesn’t make a lot of sense given that Paramount+ branded itself as the home of all Star Trek and the show was the second most in-demand original animated show on the streamer in 2022 after Lower Decks.

            That said, the show was originally intended to be shown on Nickelodeon which has been in a viewership free fall since 2017 as kids have moved away from watching cable. I have to wonder then if the decision on Prodigy may have been more of a decision about extracting Nickelodeon from its share of the expenses.

            In any event, buying the show and showing support is a key way to keep building the case for it to find a home on another streamer. There’s also a change.org petition that’s getting close to 35k signatures now.

              DVD buying only, or can I buy a digital version? I’m generally too poor to vote with my dollars, but I can probably swing a season of prodigy. Haha.

                You can by a digital copy of the full season of 20 episodes through most of the usual digital vendors.
