    Is Chokotay in an alternate timeline do or the Prime Timeline as he had already gone to the future before the events that happened in Prodigy Supernova oarts 1 and 2.

    I suppose them events happening could change the future Chokotay is in now or because he was already there maybe not and they go off on a different branch to creat another future one where the Federation never come into contact with Solum so the Diviner and co never try to go back into the past to destroy the Federation or Starfleet so you go round in circles lol. OK I will stop now.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.

    Yes, you could Rattle Your Brain trying to figure out the cause and effect when time travel is involved.

    Just binged 11-20. Good show overall. Plenty of scope for Season 2, The Search For Chakotay, Ascencia and Dreadlok still out there.

    Some of the plot points were a bit face palm, like when Dal body swapped, he should have made some sort of better effort to act like Janeway and call off the attack. Morse code came up, something on the Protostar could have been set to flash code at the Dauntless I would have thought, or a ship like what they used to escape could have ejected one of them who could have tried to explain why they can't talk to the Protostar.

    A lot of facepalm moments in the body swap episode alright. But I suppose at the end of the day, it's still a show about kids and it would probably be more unrealistic to expect them to be fully adult competent. Especially without Training Hologram Janeway supervising them like in the case where Dal was on his own on the Dauntless.

    So even though season 2 is in post production, this has been cancelled and now they're trying to find a new home for both seasons, as the first one seems to be getting pulled by Paramount+ as well.

    The surprising decision to remove the series—which will mean a tax write-off for the streamer, a tactic we’ve also seen recently from Disney+ and Warner Bros.—affects a handful of other Paramount+ series beyond Prodigy, including ....

    Shame about that, at least season 1 was a self contained season, if a tax write-off does that mean Nickelodeon won't be able to show it either, unless a new buyer takes it of P+?

    Edit:- Nickelodeon is owned by Paramount.

    We will probably never find out if they managed to save Chakotay from the alternative future?

    Edit 2:- Garrett Wang reportedly said Harry Kim's character "belongs" to Star Trek: Prodigy, which he said is the reason his Picard season 3 role was cut.

    Gutted, was really looking forward to season 2. Hopefully it gets picked up. Maybe Nickelodeon will pick it up? They carried season 1 didn't they?

    Half-way through the first season and this is a shame. Getting very sick of these networks pulling shows from their services and canning seasons that are already made (such as 'Snowpiercer' which has its fourth season ready to air but has been shoved away). Hopefully the Trek name will attract some interest.

    Yeah, real pity with that. Did not expect the series to grow on me as much as it did, and the early episodes were rough. But it turned out to be a grand show to have on in the background doing other stuff. Grand story and short episodes.

    Awe that's a pity. Can not see it going anywhere else as it is Star Trek and ever since that fan made debacle a few years back Paramount are very Strict in who can make Star Trek now.

    Star Trek: Prodigy series has not only been cancelled ahead of its previously-announced second season, but the show will in fact be removed from Paramount+ and Nickelodeon entirely. ~~ https://blog.trekcore.com/2023/06/star-trek-prodigy-cancelled-paramount-plus-removal/

    Paramount owns Nickelodeon.

    They might sell the rights to stream, the first two seasons. But not the rights to produce more.

    I'm three episodes in....it's very 'kidish'. I've come directly in from Picard Season 3 and Lower Decks Season 3, so this is very Nickelodeon in comparison. The Protostar is absolutely beautiful I'll say that. Does the show improve?

    It's still getting settled and establishing things by that point. It has some surprisingly dark elements later on.

    This thing of a show having to be removed as well as cancelled is a joke.

    It's hard enough when a show you like is cancelled but to make it so that you can't even watch it again sucks.

    I was saying over on a Discovery thread that Paramount is rumoured to be in a fair bit of trouble.

    Bloody hell, my kids absolutely love this. They have had zero interest in Trek up to now and are now complaining that I am only doing an episode or two a day.

    Bloody hell, the ending of the 2nd last episode. This show is far more respectful of kids than any crap my kids watch.

    They are now massive fans, my son spent the episode pointing out ships which looked like "evolved" (thanks Pokemon for destroying the meaning of that word) versions of the Conny Class.

    I know that Paramount is struggling badly but their drive for quarterlies is sacrificing the next generations of Trek fans here.

    Indeed - this is the downside of streaming services. You don't own anything and your favourites can be removed at any point and physical copies may/may not be available either.

    Always good to have a few chips lying about the place just in case.

    Just read this on Google a few minutes ago.

    Absolutely gutted. I thought when the era of streaming began that the days of good shows being cancelled was over but it is actually worse.

    If the streamers would stop making that “reality” garbage they’d have the money they need now. And Igers nonsense about Marvel Disney+ shows distracting the creatives from movies - they are all being made by different people.

    I would say it is worse because there is more shows than ever and people have more choice and so of course some shows are not going to do well and are unfortuntely some are going to get cancelled.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.
