I’ve not seen Prodigy yet, and I mostly love LD, although it can be a bit too rick and mortyish for me sometimes. I honestly get the feeling that at any moment Mariner could shout “Wubalubadubdub!! [burp]”
I guess that makes sense because they poached some of the people that made R&M and the network only greenlit LD because they wanted to capture the success of R&M.
Pike and crew are the best part of Discovery, SNW is miles better. Prodigy is so damn good and more Janeway! LD can feel like that but it’s all rapid fire Trek stuff, I rotate through the series’ as the bedtime show and I’ll rewatch an episode of LD and catch a TOS or VOY reference I missed the first time, it’s a Trek fan show that goes to 11 with the memes
LD pulls a bit of The Orville bait-and-switch where the humor never goes away, but there’s clearly Star Trek bones under there and over the course of the first season it commits more to that than to being an anarchic romp. Frankly, while I enjoy both, I like LD a lot more than the Orville, which has some of the worst acting I’ve ever seen on network television, tends to resolve most (though not all) moral dilemmas by just aggressively picking a side, and cannot escape Seth MacFarlane’s obsession with American pop culture, circa 1950-2000.

SNW is excellent.
