I don't know if this is of interest to Group members, but the animated show "Star Trek: Prodigy" is being cancelled without the second half of its first season, currently in production, planned on being shown. Also, the first half is being dropped from the Paramount+ streaming service. There's a Change.org petition on the go, to try and save the show, presumably on another network. chng.it/kMt8jMRqNVI found out about this on Facebook via Wil Wheaton, and also this report here... www.cinemablend.com/streaming-news/star-trek-prodigy-cancellation-petition-anson-mount-joins-fans?fbclid=IwAR3TX2XZCpVQQ-ztlOPTROfs7edD8ug9zzLWfU5PjM86_Kbf3_7uF9BoqXUIt seems that, although the show seems to be being enjoyed more than a couple of the last few live action shows, it seems that there is just not interest from Paramount to continue with the show, despite fan enjoyment. As Wil said on Facebook... "We live in an age of amazing television that seems to be cut off at the knees right when it is hitting its stride. This is, as far as I can tell, largely due to garbage executives padding their salaries by canceling shows after roughly 20 episodes (what used to be a single season, but is now split into two seasons), often leaving fans of the show hanging with no resolution (may all the gods bless the fan fiction writers who give us closure).
So I am, sadly, not surprised to learn that Star Trek: Prodigy does not currently have a home for the second half of its first season (which is, according to 2023 nomenclature, it second season). This show is special and unique, has an audience that loves it, and is in the middle of its story ... so OBVIOUSLY the best call is to *checks notes* cancel the series while the second season is in production and pull the entire series from Paramount+, because of reasons.
Those reasons have nothing to do with the audience, the quality of the show, or the story the creators are telling. Those reasons are: Greed and greed and also some greed. The executives are taking a tax loss and writing it off against their already-bloated earnings. We are seeing this all over the industry right now. It's heartbreaking.
A few people have asked me about all of this. I've just told you how I feel about it. What I will tell you now is: Star Trek: Prodigy will find a new home and the second half of its first season (called its second season) will be loved by its audience. It's not that Prodigy isn't good or that it isn't beloved. It's that someone in a corner office wants to add a deck to his yacht.
There's a Change dot org petition that I encourage you to join. It won't bring Prodigy back to Paramount+, but it will be meaningful data that will help it find its new home sooner than later."
The industry trend Wil mentions has already been seen this year, what with the DC film "Batgirl" being completed, but then dropped from release! Which seems mad. All that work created by hundreds of people (in both instances of "Prodigy" and "Batgirl"), yet the second part of "Prodigy" and the "Batgirl" film might NEVER see the light of day! I know some people here don't really like modern Trek, and even I've only seen up to S1 and half of S2 of "Discovery", which I can't reconcile with pre TOS, but as another continuity, perhaps eight or so timelines over from TOS! BUT I thought I'd let people know about this, which I mentioned on Facebook, which I know some folks here aren't on, in case they enjoy the animated "Prodigy", and signing the petition might find it a new home. After all, didn't that happen with "The Orville"? |

I'm going to press X to doubt. Obviously I only speak for myself but I didn't watch the show at all (not even for one episode like with Lower Decks before deciding it wasn't for me) but I can't help but think that if "the quality of the show, or the story the creators are telling" was better then it would have gotten more of an audience than it apparently did. Even after the IMO utter trash that Picard S1 and S2 were, alot of the disillusioned fandom still gave season 3 a chance when they heard it was supposedly correcting some of the earlier mistakes. It was too late for me personally as my nostalgia for trek has been almost completely destroyed by the Varon-T disruptor that nutrek has mostly been on streaming with STD and PIC but I acknowledge that with SNW and S3 PIC that at least someone at Paramount is trying to some degree. I never heard anyone say anything positive about Prodigy though (unlike with the occasional compliment for Lower Decks) but I admit that there is a selection bias on my part given the company that I keep. That selection bias didn't stop other shows from getting the occasional nod of appreciation though in the same unhappy circles of trek fandom. YMMV. Add salt to taste.

Good points, SITZKRIEG!! You're right about how nuTrek has taken a WIDE swerve from original Trek. As I said, last Trek I watched was half of S2 of "Discovery". So, no PIC, LD, although since I posted, I found one free episode of S2 of SNW on YouTube (episode 1), and will admit it has me intrigued compared to "Discovery", even though it's a spin off. But the odd thing in all of this, is that the owners commissioned the new episodes of "Prodigy", yet now don't plan on releasing them? Why? That seems like a waste of time. If they didn't feel the show was working, cancel it, even if it half way thru. It will still piss some fans off, leave them with an incomplete story if there's an arc ongoing, and it's happened many times over the years with various SF series I got interested in. And let's not talk about "Firefly", although it got closure with the movie "Serenity". Will be interesting to see if someone else will pick it up. It has happened a few times with shows swapping networks (and not just SF shows), but there's no guarantee. |

I suspect Wil Wheaton is doing his usual douchey misleading thing by calling it half finished. Strangely, after coining the "Wheaton Rule" decades ago he's one of the biggest breakers of it. From chatter I've seen on various youtube channels, he's correct in that companies now call what used to be one season two for the purposes of spreading out payments and marketing (as well as obviously sucking people in for extra streaming revenue over the intervening months that they hope to forget to cancel). Just like trek and all hour long shows used to be around 24 episodes per season and now are 8-12 instead, sometimes studios always plan on making that 20-24 and contract the cast and crew for it from the very beginning of pre-production but they split it up upon release into two seasons. So when you hear about seasons X and X+1 being filmed "back to back", it's more akin to a pre-streaming/2010 era TV show's single season in terms of production. With animation, you don't need the cast and crew together phsyically (they can just record their lines remotely separately) so there is no rush to make the back end if you're not sure how the first half will be received. I suspect the second half of the "commisioned" episodes only exist as line as scripts and the lackluster reception the first season got along with the current writer's strike have put to rest spending more money on the show. That's just conjecture on my part though.
edit: I did a quick search and it seems like the messaging is that the second season is finished but they're not releasing it because it's more profitable (or more accurately less of a loss) to just not release it and call it a tax write off. I don't see any official primary source so I don't know if it's just the same rumor being re-echo'ed back and forth though.

I'd seen the tax write off story as well, it might be in that CinemaBlend link I posted earlier, or as you said, I've read it elsewhere as well. Sorry you're not a Wil fan, I like him, but that's just our separate opinions, no problem.  It's still a shame though about all that wasted effort of the show has been completed. |

FWIW, I did as well (even during his TNG years) until about a decade ago. Regardless of my own feelings towards nutrek, I'd support them releasing it as fan service for the people who did like the show but obviously I'm not privy to the exact financial details of the situation. |

I would say basically the same thing as SITZKRIEG!; JJJerk and alex turdsman have not been making Trek at all.
I watched Peecard S3 because I'd heard it was good. The parts without Raffles more or less was good. I had watched some of Strange New Woke and found it 50% ok; 50% REJECT. I've heard S2 is 80% REJECT so far.
Modern script writers think like teenagers; or else they think we do.

I think Prodigy was aimed at a different demographic. I think it was an attempt to appeal to pre and early teens. As such I'm not surprised that it didn't wow and impress adult audiences. I watched the first season. It was good enough to sit through but not so good that I'll miss it.

Modern script writers think like teenagers; or else they think we do. I've enjoyed both Picard and Strange New Worlds. Picard was enjoyable but suffered a bit from trying to do too much in too few episodes. Strange New Worlds is incredible Trek. It's funny that you call it "Strange New Woke". Star Trek has always been "Woke" and should always be. People who complain that a Star Trek show is too woke don't understand Star Trek. |

People that claim girlboss lecturing/sneering/beating up men is the same woke that TOS & TNG was don't understand what woke means; they don't see how it's been appropriated and perverted by feminazis. I don't recall a sneer anywhere in pre JJJerk Drek. Making men look like incompetent idiots compared to flawless women is NOT the way to build up your heroines. As that is what modern people call "woke" I am firmly against it. There is a palpable difference between Ellen Ripley and NuHura. Sara Connor and the smirking navigator. Ellen and Sara are STRONG female characters. The entire female crew of Strange New Woke are NOT AT ALL strong; they are bad fanfic inserts. The earliest example I came across as a teen, and immediately saw it for what it was:  Utter garbage. An old woman beating up a young male security officer is where I Nope'd out of Strange New Woke. I was also very unimpressed with turning the Gorn into Xenomorphs. That is just uninspired, lazy "writing". If you're a scriptwriter that can't come up with an original idea and has to PLAGIARIZE, lock yourself in a hotel room until you do come up with one. Or quit your job. If you're a scriptwriter that can't write a fallible and compelling heroine, quit your job. There is NO DENYING that modern franchises are ALL burning to the ground. Just look at what's happening with the "woke" Indy 5 that I will entirely IGNORE. The reason is the stolen term of "woke"; it is actually an attempt at revenge. That is why they fail. We're being spoon-fed a political doctrine clothed in franchises that are expected to automagically work on us(and I am normally left of center). Think for yourselves instead of being told what is rightthink. |

As that is what modern people call "woke" I am firmly against it. I'm not sure what exactly you are talking about. You'll have to give actual examples if you expect anyone to understand what you're objecting to. There is a palpable difference between Ellen Ripley and NuHura. Sara Connor and the smirking navigator. Ellen and Sara are STRONG female characters. The entire female crew of Strange New Woke are NOT AT ALL strong; they are bad fanfic inserts. That's an interesting assertion but I'm not sure how you justify that conclusion. As I said above, maybe provide some examples.

Or quit your job. If you're a scriptwriter that can't write a fallible and compelling heroine, quit your job. You really seem to have a problem with anything challenging your assumptions about gender. I'd understand if you questioned an older, presumably more frail, character overpowering a younger, presumably more fit, character but you can't seem to let go of the fact that its an old WOMAN beating up a young MALE. You don't have to like the direction that the writers chose to take the Gorn. That's your prerogative. There is NO DENYING that modern franchises are ALL burning to the ground. I deny it. Just look at what's happening with the "woke" Indy 5 that I will entirely IGNORE. The reason is the stolen term of "woke"; it is actually an attempt at revenge. That is why they fail. I don't even know what you are talking about. This part of your rant makes no sense. We're being spoon-fed a political doctrine clothed in franchises that are expected to automagically work on us(and I am normally left of center). Think for yourselves instead of being told what is rightthink. Most "woke" issues are not political issues unless people make them political issues. They are more accurately cultural issues that have been politicized by feckless regressives in order to distract their constituents from the reality that they aren't actually doing anyting to benefit them. Nevertheless, you definately aren't "left of center", even within the American Overton window, which is skewed dramatically to the right. |

What I've written is pretty clear. If you can only see the surface, I can't help you. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3BiyH8lENRswww.youtube.com/watch?v=3Og_ma3xy2gwww.youtube.com/watch?v=MidRtk8clp8&t=4swww.youtube.com/watch?v=3wv2x1yqtEAThe Critical Drinker might help, but if you don't agree, there is nothing to discuss. The evidence is clear that it is you who are asserting. It is not "unable to let go" to insist that an old WOMAN beating up a young MALE, particularly a SECURITY OFFICER is ludicrous in the extreme. It is, once again, bad fanfic insert/narrative. I wouldn't even write an old MAN beating up a young MALE, unless that man was a particulalry skilled martial arts master(boxing match Adama vs. Tyrol for realistic) . I have taught Karate and self defense for over 20 years. I *might* know what I'm talking about. Calling what I say a "rant" is an attempt at strawman. "Rants" have no control and are emotionally driven. I have control and am intellectually driven. If that's the stunt you're going to try to pull, you've lost my respect as someone worth listening to. Feminazis have only lately appropriated woke as their own (i.e. "woke" in quotes, because it is very twisted with reverse persecution,) but their hatred of anything straight male has been around since the EARLY 1990s; I encountered it in my University when I was earning my Psychology degree. The type of degree that allows you to see under the surface of what people say to discern their motivations. So, once again, I *might* know what I'm talking about. |

Those videos are almost as void of content as your screed from above. That's a portion of my life that I'll never get back. I'm not asserting anything. You are the one making a claim, I just stated that your claim isn't very compelling since you don't really back it up with evidence. You just make some vague statements about contemporary Trek elevating female characters over male characters It is not "unable to let go" to insist that an old WOMAN beating up a young MALE, particularly a SECURITY OFFICER is ludicrous in the extreme. It is, once again, bad fanfic insert/narrative. I wouldn't even write an old MAN beating up a young MALE, unless that man was a particulalry skilled martial arts master(boxing match Adama vs. Tyrol for realistic) . I have taught Karate and self defense for over 20 years. I *might* know what I'm talking about. Your original statement was delivered in the middle of a misogynist tirade about contemporary Trek's "woke" agenda of elevating women over men. As such, it is difficult to believe that your objection is that an old character overcame a young security officer. You may have intended for the old vs young to add more weight to your argument, but given the context it is obvious that your objection was primarily the idea of a woman overpowering a man. Also, where does this happen? I rewatched all of SNW and couldn't find it. Really, I'm curious. Calling what I say a "rant" is an attempt at strawman. "Rants" have no control and are emotionally driven. I have control and am intellectually driven. If that's the stunt you're going to try to pull, you've lost my respect as someone worth listening to. Of course I have no access to your mental state so I can't comment on that. All I can do is read your posts as they come across. Frankly, of all the people I've argued with on these forums, you come across the most as emotionally driven and lacking control. You regularly resort to grade-school level name calling and pettiness in your posts. For example, I don't think I've ever seen you mention JJ Abrams without calling him "JJJerk" or Alex Kurtzman without calling him "Turdsman". And don't pretend that you've suddenly stopped respecting me. I've seen you on other forums bad-mouthing me because I had to ban you here because you couldn't control yourself enough to stop breaking the few rules I've set for behaviour in this forum. Feminazis have only lately appropriated woke as their own (i.e. "woke" in quotes, because it is very twisted with reverse persecution,) but their hatred of anything straight male has been around since the EARLY 1990s; I encountered it in my University when I was earning my Psychology degree. The type of degree that allows you to see under the surface of what people say to discern their motivations. So, once again, I *might* know what I'm talking about. Feminists have not oppropriated "woke". No one advocating for social equality describes their own movement as "woke" especially in the current social environment. "Woke" is a derrogatory term used by conservatives for anything that challenges their idea of the status-quo. When you fit nicely into most social norms it can be difficult and scary to see that there is a movement to suggest that others might be as important as you, and by extension, that you might not me more important than them. If you succumb to that fear you might lash out and attack the people who want to elevate others to the kind of privelege that you have always enjoyed. You seem to be terrified that a woman might be the main protagonist of a show and that that woman might be portrayed in the way that male protagonists have always been portrayed, as a cut above her peers. As competent and confident. You see it as an attack on your masculinity because to you being a hero protagonist is a male's prerogative. You are so emasculated by the suggestion that a woman could be the hero that you hyper-fixate on the idea and you see it everywhere in every female character who doesn't conform to the roles you think would be appropriate for her. I don't see it because I'm not threatened by a woman in the role of hero. I'm not threatened when that woman is elevated in the way any male hero character would also be elevated. |

Well 64K for 1st vid, 2.7K for 2nd(Clownfish TV), 104K 3rd(Star Whores), 3.9K 4th(Clownfish again) far more than members of this website. Given those videos are opposed to your ass-kissing of modern Drek, if you try to demonstrate that those vids are "void of content", you have all your work ahead of you.
As for the rest of your strawman bullshit, all I will say is "Please yourself." You're wrong on most of your counts, but there's no point bothering with someone that ignores evidence and twists statements into untrue representations. You should become a politician.

Given those videos are opposed to your ass-kissing of modern Drek, if you try to demonstrate that those vids are "void of content", you have all your work ahead of you. I asked you to provide examples that support your claims about contemporary trek. Instead you posted links to nearly an hour of videos that do not provide any examples. Three of them aren't even about Trek. Just like you they make claims without providing any examples that support those claims. Who cares how many likes those videos have? You claim to be intellectually driven but you offer an argumentum ad populum falacy as your argument. Also, those videos are ratioed to shit. Not one has even 10% likes to views. As for the rest of your strawman bullshit, all I will say is "Please yourself." You're wrong on most of your counts, but there's no point bothering with someone that ignores evidence and twists statements into untrue representations. You should become a politician. You've demonstrated the character of one. You're 0 for 2 this post. Argumentum ad hominem fallacy. I know it's hard to argue when your points are all obviously false, but you could just admit you don't have any way to support your claims. This sad attempt to obfuscate your failure isn't a good look. Nice example of weapons grade projection, though. |

The evidence is in those videos. But you shouldn't even need evidence; it's in the episodes you claim is not. There's no point talking to you. You're part of 4th wave feminazism if you think S2E4 entirely female dominated (same as e3 time travel to Earth where a JUNIOR officer bosses "kirk" because female, is perfectly normal. I have said many times that if male dominance was not good in previous decades, don't do THE SAME THING in reverse. But this is what I'm dealing with:  Substitute feminazism for religion in your case. You drank the koolaid.

The evidence is in those videos. It is not. I asked you for examples that support your claims that SNW is dominated by "girlboss lecturing/sneering/beating up men". You posted four videos. Only the first discussed Star Trek at all and it never shows any examples that suport your claim. But you shouldn't even need evidence; it's in the episodes you claim is not. There's no point talking to you. If you spent half the energy providing examples that support your claims as you do on telling me why there is no point in providing examples this converstaion would actually have a point. You're part of 4th wave feminazism if you think S2E4 entirely female dominated (same as e3 time travel to Earth where a JUNIOR officer bosses "kirk" because female, is perfectly normal. I have said many times that if male dominance was not good in previous decades, don't do THE SAME THING in reverse. S2E4 is about 55 min long including the opening credits sequence. Of that time, 5 min focuses on the relationship between Pike and Batel. Roughly 29 min shows Pike, M'Benga, and Noonien-Singh on the planet. Noonien-Singh, the only female plays the role of damsel in distress. About 10 min focus on Ortegas, Primarily her struggle to pilot the ship to safety despite her memory loss. The remainder is filler that ties the scenes together and fills in the plot. Describing this episode as "female dominated" is ridiculous. S2E3 Does not have La'an bossing Kirk, let alone "because female". They act as equals working to fix the timeline. I challenge you to give one example where she bosses him. Regardless, even if it did, what would be the problem? He has no authority over her. He is a kirk from an alternate timeline that isn't even in Starfleet. You are tilting at windmills. "Who cares how many likes" is the proportion compared to this site; since you BULLSHITTED they are "void of content". the numbers are EVIDENCE they are not. The vids might be "void of content" that YOU want; but even I have never said that Drek is "void of content"; I say their content is shit. I don't misrepresent reality. When I say "void of content" what I mean is "void of content relevant to the discussion". I guess technically a grown man crying because a black woman got to be a main character is "content". I've been giving you lots of rope becasue I don't want you to accuse me of using my admin just because I disagree with you, but you are violating the rules of this forum with your direct personal insults. Please refrain from that going forward. BTW, I state facts then add an appraisal."TURDSman" happens to be more concise than "Kurtsman costantly makes crap". Forthright callous disregard for dumbasses is normal in Big East Coast cities. This is a sad attempt to justify your need to act like a grade school bully and engage in wildly unimaginative name calling. You aren't using "TURDSman" as shorthand for "Kurtsman constantly makes crap." You just use it as a replacement for his name. Your excuses are as lame and unimaginative as your infantile insults. I'm 2 for 0 this post; your lack of integrity is your problem, not mine. You really aren't. Look, I don't care if you like new Trek. I dislike plenty of it. I don't even care that you think it's pushing an agenda of female domination. I just disagree with you. I assume that since you are here in these forums expressing these opinions that you want to convince others and I'm telling you that you aren't making a case for your positon. You just come off as a scared little boy throwning a fit because the girls are getting some of the attention you think only the boys should get. I'm happy to go back and forth on this with you as long as you'd like as long as you can behave like an adult and follow the rules of the forums. |

I watched the first 4 episodes of Prodigy - I quite liked it but it was too slow and I didn't go back for more. It wasn't aimed at adults and all my children hate Star Trek so its going to have a very small audience going on what that demographic like. Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings are very popular with my kids and they all have one thing in common brilliant storytelling and writing. I think that's where we need to look for lack of success. GOT S8 case in point. I can't imagine how pissed off the cast were thinking conventions, appearances I'm good for life then they drop S8.

I forgot to update this story a few days ago, but "Prodigy" has found a new home on Netflix, alowing the whole of Season 1 to be shown later this year, and the in production season 2 to be shown in 2024. This follows Paramount+ removing the first half of S1 from the platform, with the second half still unshown! gizmodo.com/star-trek-prodigy-season-2-netflix-paramount-streaming-1850918603Now whether that means there will be a Season 3 remains to be seen, but at least fans of the show will be able to see ALL produced episodes eventually! |
