Chris In Mulgrew's interview, I got the impression that this version of Janeway is a hologram. So she'll be something like what the Doctor was in Voyager?

Seto Kaiba Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Who thought this was a good idea? This feels as bizarre and ill-conceived as Games Workshop's attempt to launch a Warhammer 40,000 young adult novel series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There really is a rather profound stylistic similarity between these promo shots and the promotional music videos made for League of Legends. (Incidentally, a spot of research indicated that the studio that did those has also done work with/for Nickelodeon. I wonder if the resemblance is purely coincidental...) 2 minutes ago, Dobber said: Holy crap, I was just joking when I asked if it was Janeway! I thought their character just had an uncanny resemblance to her! Lol! It is more than a bit odd that there'd be yet-another Starfleet ship lost in the Delta Quadrant so soon after Voyager's return. Doubly so that it'd be carrying a training hologram modeled on Kathryn Janeway... a controversial captain whose actions in the Delta Quadrant saw Starfleet "reward" her with a desk job at the earliest opportunity. 1 minute ago, pengbuzz said: Yeah...explodium, young kids and skewered diplomatic relations with angry alien races is not a good recipe by any standard. This is meant to be a kid's show... though the premise raises a lot of extremely uncomfortable questions if you think about it. 1 minute ago, pengbuzz said: When Gene Roddenberry came up with "to boldly go where no man has gone before", I don't think he was intending that for the directions Viacom/CBS ended up taking. Well... that's definitely the case for Picard and Discovery, but it's a bit early to say that for Prodigy. After all, the man DID produce Star Trek: the Animated Series in all its screwball glory. Odds are Prodigy will end up being a very tame, very bland sci-fi adventure series of the type Nickelodeon gets fifty pitches for a year. It's pretty obvious the only reason ViacomCBS got a series order for this one is they own Nickelodeon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seto Kaiba Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 1 minute ago, JB0 said: Ah, she got the Isamu treatment. It might be fairer to say she got the Kirk treatment. Isamu Dyson only got set on a gradual course towards a supervisory desk job that took the better part of a decade. Kathryn Janeway, on the other hand, was booted from the center seat and reassigned to fly a desk at Starfleet Headquarters less than a year after returning to the Alpha Quadrant. The series finale of Voyager is set at some point after 5 April 2378 since one of the episodes set before it is set on the 315th anniversary of First Contact (5 April 2063). By Nemesis in 2379, Janeway had been an admiral working a desk job for long enough that Picard is not surprised to receive new orders from her. (Which actually raises the odd question why this Janeway hologram is a Captain not a Vice Admiral and wearing an outdated uniform for the period?)

Dangard Ace Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Seeing how this show is under the Nickelodeon banner I expect plenty of cast being slimed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they're targeting younger audiences to attract new fans. It makes sense, from a business point of view. They don't have to create something entirely new and they can rely on the name of Star Trek. (Or not make the IP stagnant? That could be another.) Also, they maybe hoping to attract new fans, who will want to explore the other existing IP. The question is will the execution of this strategy going to be good?

Based on all available evidence, I'd say the answer is a resounding "no..." ...but hey, stranger things have happened. Nickelodeon's 2012 reinterpretation of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles mythos turned out to be better than any previous cartoon, comic book, or film version, and remained fairly consistent in quality for five whole years! Still, my expectations for Star Trek: Prodigy remain almost as low as they are for Picard's second season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kalvasflam Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Hahahaha. I just saw this thread, and the so called trailer. They should just make a show called Star Trek: crap, or Star Trek: we have no clue what we are doing. At least it would be honest. paramount + indeed, they should call it Paramount - for all the money they are dumping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, these kids probably don't have the necessary skills or training to maintain a starship at all... and Federation starships are not exactly renowned for their sturdiness or rugged dependability being poster children for Made of Explodium.

Pretty sure Janeway made a transporter clone of herself that she sent back to the Alpha Quadrant so that she could stay and rule the Delta Quadrant with an iron fist.
