  • Time Amok, Not Amok Time...Thank God | Star Trek: Prodigy - Time Amok
    Jan 25 2022

    Because it's a show with Janeway, even a Hologram version, we get weird time stuff.  In this one, a Tachyon Storm has bad juju on the Protostar drive and fractures the ship and its crew into different phases of time.  They have to learn to each work together to solve the problem, with only hologram Janeway to communicate.  While they're at it, they must also learn to believe in themselves.  It's a really good episode of Sci-Fi, and Jude makes the most stunning prediction that left even Brent speechless.

  • We Hate Hiatuses...Hiatusi? Hiatuseze? | Star Trek: Prodigy - Kobayashi
    Jan 7 2022

    It's been nearly 7 weeks of hiatus from our last episode to this one...but Star Trek: Prodigy is back and all is right with the world, well, for at least the next 5 weeks.  In this week's episode, "Kobayashi," Dal goes head-to-head with impossible-to-win Captain's test and he learns some very valuable lessons along the way, but we the viewers are also treated to a blast from Trek Past, well, 5 blasts as it were, as we see some of Star Trek's biggest characters join Dal in the holodeck to complete this assignment.  Plus, is Murf indestructible?  And Jude can not correctly pronounce Chakotay's name to save his life.  This one is full of laughs and excitement and a good time all around.

  • Murder Planet Ate This Episode | Star Trek: Prodigy - Terror Planet
    Dec 2 2021

    Brent and Jude discuss episode 5 of Star Trek Prodigy, entitled "Terror Planet."  A fantastic episode and a great way to wrap up the opening 5 episode arc which could effectively be considered together as the full pilot.  But for as much as this episode answers for us, it also leaves us with new questions.  But like all good Star Trek, there's a fantastic message behind this one.
