being alive to see the controversy first hand when they first redid the klingons after the first movie and again after discovery has taught me to smile at fan controversies. lol
I think the show runner was saying they’re from a different sect of Klingons at first and then they backpedaled as hard as they could almost immediately. Lol
I find Kobayashi is around where it starts to pick up. I’d say just watch the rest of season 1 before deciding if you want to continue, but at the very least, if you’re worried about wasting your time, to episode 11 (frames the plot for the rest of the season) or episode 13 (the most classically Trek episode of the season, honestly).
Unfortunately, Jankom Pog never goes away, but somewhere in late season 1, he gets less useless at least and earns the right to be more annoying that Neelix. Also, if you’ve been finding Rok an annoying helpless child up to this point, she becomes a much better character (probably the most useful crew member) after episode 8 through a slightly O’Brien-esque process.
Season 2 is great and worth having watched season 1 (not to say season 1 is bad, but season 2 is way better).
What are they going to do if season one flops?
“Prodigy” has demonstrated that they’re willing to cancel something they gave an early renewal to.
Prodigy is boring. There, I said it.

What was it they said back then? They’re from the South or some such?
Or as Worf once put it, “We don’t discuss that with outsiders.”

I also couldn’t really get into it.
I can understand the appeal, but it wasn’t really for me.
One day I’ll definitely finish watching it
I’ll do a marathon, with the last two seasons of Discovery. One day…
How far did you actually get into Prodigy?
Kobayashi Maru I think, maybe halfway through whatever came after

I greatly appreciate your reasoned analysis, and I am now eager to try again. (Serious reply.)
I would like to second this, particularly the line “through a slightly O’Brien-esque process.”
😭😭😭
Hey you give me as much Jason Mantzoukas as possible.
Hopefully nothing because every first season of a new ST series is a flop.
Strange New Worlds season one was excellent
That’s true it was excellent and an outlier for the franchise.
I agree. DS9 season one honestly wasn’t too bad (obviously not SNW season 1 caliber), though mainly because it didn’t have a weird blackface episode.
Being a direct spin-off of Discovery helped.
Ohhh. I quit watching that. It was decent but also so dour. Edgy. Depressing.
I’d watch for more Tig Notarro though.
