Star Trek: Prodigy is a Science Fiction animated series created by The Hageman Brothers (Trollhunters; Ninjago). The series premiered on October 28, 2021, first on Paramount+, then on Nickelodeon. It is the third animated Star Trek series, following Star Trek: The Animated Series (1973–74) and Star Trek: Lower Decks (2020–present), and the first All-CGI Cartoon.In 2383, a motley crew of young aliens trapped on a prison colony in the Delta Quadrant find an abandoned Starfleet ship, the U.S.S. Protostar. Taking control of the ship and making their escape, they must learn to work together as they make their way towards the Federation — aided by the ship's Emergency Training Hologram, a duplicate of Captain Kathryn Janeway. Meanwhile, the real Admiral Janeway seeks to find out what happened to the Protostar and its original crew.The series was originally ordered by Nickelodeon for 40 episodes across two seasons. Shortly before its premiere it was announced that the series would first stream on Paramount+ before airing on cable: the first season was released in two halves, concluding in late 2022. In June 2023, with the second season still in production, the series was expunged from Paramount+ and Nickelodeon; four months later it was confirmed that Netflix had picked up distribution rights in several regions including the US, with the second season premiering on the streamer the following year.Previews: Main Titles; Teaser; Official Trailer | |

Star Trek: Prodigy / int_1912958e | comment |
Voices Are Not Mental: There is a body swap episode and the voice actors stay with their respective bodies and don't go with their "minds" instead having the voice actors adopting the mannerisms of the other characters so Kate Mulgrew plays a very panicky "Dal-in-Janeway's body", and Brett Gray plays a fairly calm (as it's far from the weirdest thing to happen to her) "Janeway-in-Dal's body" giving the kids the chance to explain the weapon situation to Janeway. | |

Mythology Gag | |
Star Trek: Prodigy / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: The Protostar seems to be similar in shape to the Voyager concept art (before a decision was made to round the ship off), and (if unintentionally) to the Emissary-class cruisers from Star Trek Online. Dal echos the Romulan commander from "Balance of Terror". Pog's repulsion at Janeway's smooth forehead is a nod to Star Trek's longtime reliance on Rubber-Forehead Aliens. The vehicle replicator is likely a knowing wink to Voyager's endless ability to replace lost shuttlecraft. The photonic scrubbers resemble exocomps. The Diviner's ship catches up to the Protostar while in warp, with the warp tunnel effect and visuals matching those of the Vengeance catching the Enterprise in Star Trek Into Darkness. Dal screaming "Fire everything!" in frustration during his Kobayashi Maru exam is a clear reference to Nero from Star Trek (2009). | |

Vocal Dissonance: Rok-Tahk's girlish voice is hilariously out of step with her massive stature and rocky skin. Notably, this is actually a function of the Universal Translator, as without it, Rok-Tahk has exactly the deep, gruff voice you'd expect from a large rock creature. | |

No Focus on Humans: While obviously humans exist in the Star Trek universe this show is set in, there are none at all among the main characters, Hologram Janeway is just a sophisticated simulation of a human, and the action takes place in a part of the galaxy far from human-occupied space. It's not until late in the first season that the plot points start to include real humans. | |

Hostage Situation | |
Star Trek: Prodigy / int_44bed14c | comment |
Hostage Situation: Our heroes are forced to take Gwyn captive in order to escape Drednok and get the Protostar airborne. Little do they know that the ship itself is the hostage; simply being in control of it prevents the Diviner from attacking them for fear of damaging it, regardless of Gywn's presence there. The pilot ends with her still tied to the captain’s chair. He does care that they've taken her once he's aware of it, but the ship is his prize. The two-parter "A Moral Star" has the Diviner demand the return of the Protostar in return for the lives of all the miners. | |

Falling into the Cockpit: Deconstructed. The crew find the U.S.S. Protostar and decide to make it their own, but quickly realize that running a starship is not a simple affair, especially for a bunch of teenagers with almost no experience between them in that area. Hologram Janeway has to explain the controls to them, as they can only puzzle out the bare minimum from the labels. | |

Casual Interstellar Travel | |
Star Trek: Prodigy / int_56855fa3 | comment |
Casual Interstellar Travel: Space seems to have gotten a lot smaller post-Voyager, with ships like the Protostar and the Dauntless capable of flying to the Delta Quadrant and back more or less at will. It's justified in their case, being equipped with a protostar drive and a quantum-slipstream drive, respectively, but there's also a lot more overlap between Delta Quadrant and Alpha Quadrant species — Dal's adoptive "mother" is a Ferengi trader doing business in the Delta Quadrant, Kazon smugglers clash with Xindi-Reptilian guards at remote Federation outposts, and four of the main cast belong to Alpha Quadrant species (Brikar, Medusan, Tellarite, and Human Augment) that wound up on Tars Lamora independently from one another. One of Janeway's Instagram logs explains that the Kazon, at least, are using the Borg transwarp network to get around, Star Trek: Picard and Star Trek: Discovery both having featured the conduits as methods of quick (if unsafe) travel. | |

No One Gets Left Behind | |
Star Trek: Prodigy / int_7969f21e | comment |
No One Gets Left Behind: Averted in the first episode, which is justified as the crew has just come together. When Dal is captured and put to work on the surface with low chances of surviving, the rest of the group focuses on preparing to leave rather than rescuing him. Dal brushes it off, as they weren't True Companions as of yet. Further, Rok suggests that they could use the ship to help everyone escape, but they don't have any way to pursue that plan without risking Drednok and the Diviner finding out first. They need to limit their recruits to the bare minimum to avoid drawing attention, and Drednok's arrival forces them to leave in a hurry, abandoning the other prisoners, at least for now. Throughout their time on the Murder Planet, the crew go back and forth as to whether this applies to Gwyn, given that she betrayed them to her father and stranded them on the world in the first place. After her father abandons her to die, and the crew reclaim the ship, Dal decides to save her. | |

Asteroid Miners: The main characters are initially part of such an operation, though not by choice, digging up something called “chimerium� on an asteroid called Tars Lamora, run by the mysterious “Diviner�. The mining operation is actually a cover to search for the Protostar, though the mineral has value and the Diviner keeps the operation running as a source of funds while he searches for the Protostar. | |

Star Trek: Prodigy / int_8391b1c7 | comment |
Artistic License – Law: Possibly a mixture of a lack of knowledge in-universe by some characters, and confusion about what actually happened by others. Everyone seems to think the crew of the Protostar stole it, since the events behind its disappearance are a mystery. As it was stolen and then abandoned long prior to their taking possession of it, their actions should actually be considered perfectly legal salvage. Keeping the vessel after returning to Federation space is more legally gray, but there are extenuating circumstances in that case. | |

Foreshadowing | |
Star Trek: Prodigy / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: Janeway reprimands the crew for the events of "First Con-tact" and makes sure that they know they did not "fix it" just by giving the Cymari crystal back—they've left an indelible impression on the Cymari, which is why Starfleet is so concerned with making sure first contact missions aren't going to give bad ideas to pre-warp species. It was the fallout from a first contact mission that sparked a civil war among the Vau N'Akat that devastated the Diviner's homeworld. | |

Continuity Nod | |
Star Trek: Prodigy / int_9dab0a6e | comment |
Continuity Nod: One of the miners (who's shown being exposed to Zero's true form and driven mad) is a Lurian. Holo-Janeway's description of the Federation includes faces of the four founding member races (Human, Andorian, Tellarite, Vulcan) as well as their respective symbols under the UFP logo. Janeway's lecture on the basics of the Federation includes a number of familiar starships: there are four variations on the Enterprise (the NX-01, the TOS-era 1701, the 1701-A, and the 1701-C), the U.S.S. Defiant, the U.S.S. Voyager, a Crossfield-class starship (like Discovery, though not explicitly labeled), and two shuttlecraft (a Class-F from TOS, and the Type-6 and 7 from TNG). Tars Lamora bears more than a little similarity to the dilithium mines on the penal asteroid of Rura Penthe, only more technologically sophisticated and visually impressive. The vehicle replicator makes a point of announcing the fabrication of a blast shield. Becket Mariner improvised a song about that piece of shuttlecraft equipment on Lower Decks. The Protostar lands identically to Voyager. The Runaway looks like an upgraded version of the Argo buggy from Nemesis. The uncharted planet is in the "Hirogen system", though there's no sentient life present aside from the murderous biome, with no sign of the eponymous hunters. The half-finished shuttle Gwyn uses to try to escape in episode three is used in by her and Murf to escape the trapped Protostar in episode 4. Dal finds gagh (or, more likely, racht) on the Klingon starship. Dal is seen playing the Ktarian holographic game from the TNG episode, er, "The Game". Whether this version is also addictive and mind-controlling has yet to be revealed. The holo-programs that Janeway demonstrates include Ceti Alpha V and a Jane Eyre novel of the sort that the real Janeway partook in. The Kobayashi Maru is taken from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, down to Klingons as the aggressors, though it uses the TNG-era Klingons and Enterprise-D. The simulation uses holograms of Uhura, Spock, Scotty, Beverly Crusher, and Odo, complete with archival audio clips of these characters (except Crusher, who gets new lines courtesy of Gates McFadden). Dal’s climactic strategy involves blaring rock music, similar to the climax of Star Trek Beyond. Dal mentions the Phage when he's taking apart Nandi's ruse, the sickness the Vidiians were afflicted with in Star Trek: Voyager. He finds a horga'hn, or Risan advertisement of sexual availability, on Nandi's ship. The mid-season finale features yet another callback to Voyager: Admiral Janeway, the actual one, is tracking the Protostar from aboard the NCC-80816, USS Dauntless. The original Dauntless, NX-01A, was a trap created by a vengeful Delta Quadrant alien in "Hope and Fear," featuring a "Quantum Slipstream Drive" which allowed Voyager to shave several years off its journey. The NCC-80816 has a largely identical design to the NX-01A and, per an interview with Word of God, carries a version of the slipstream drive. Both versions of Janeway featured in the show and their respected drink of preference. Holo-Janeway, who is based off of the Voyager-era Janeway, drinks coffee (which was the real Janeway's drink of choice). Vice Admiral Janeway starts drinking tea under her doctor's orders (which calls back to Voyager's series finale "Endgame", where Admiral Janeway tells Captain Janeway she now drinks tea after being offered a cup of coffee). | |

Jankom Pog is listed in official materials as being 16 but, being a Tellarite and all, he looks like a 30 to 40-year-old by human standards. At least chronologically, Jankom is actually much older than the rest of the crew, having been put on a Sleeper Starship during the period of Enterprise, i.e pre-Federation founding, and therefore is more than two hundred and sixteen based purely on birthdate, even if cryostasis prevented him aging. | |

Translator Microbes | |
Star Trek: Prodigy / int_bf487e2b | comment |
Translator Microbes: This series puts more emphasis than previous series on the importance of the Universal Translator: The first episode has translators banned in the mining colony among the workers, making it difficult for Dal to talk to any of them. However, Dal and Rok-Tahk find a commbadge on the bridge of the Protostar that serves as one, allowing them to plot their escape with the rest of the crew. In the tenth episode, Jankom and Dal manage to jury-rig the workers's ankle monitors on the mining colony to work as a Universal Translator, allowing the workers to organise and overthrow their handlers. In the season 1 finale, the Construct activation causes the Universal Translator to fail for the whole fleet, leaving orders unable to be correctly relayed and Starfleet unable to call their allies for help. | |

Shout-Out | |
Star Trek: Prodigy / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: The scene in which the crew hide from Drednok on the Murder Planet echoes the scene where the four hobbits hide from the Nazgul in The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. When the crew replicate then transport a piece of pie from one end of the ship to the other, it appears on the floor of the vehicle bay. Jankom yells "Floor Pie!", a reference to The Simpsons. The glowing crystals and tones of the Cymari as they communicate using tones are similar to the exchange with the aliens in Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and the structure they create and their ability to manipulate sand are similar to the creatures from The Abyss, and their water manipulation abilities. They're also similar in form to the creatures from The Abyss. The members of the Vau N'Akat Order abandoned their names in favor of portentous nouns like "the Diviner" and "the Vindicator", just like outlaw members of a certain other famous time-travelling culture. In that same vein, while not explicitly stated, one could consider Gwen's title to be 'The Progeny' In this Season 2 preview, after hearing an explanation about the difference between the present-day Solum and the future one at the other end of the wormhole, Dal complains that "all this timey-wimey stuff" hurts his head. (Appropriately enough, said explanation came from the Doctor.) Dal's command code for the Protostar is "GB 64 N 32 X", a reference to old-school gaming systems such as the Nintendo Game Boy, N64 (and possibly NES) and the Sega 32X add on for the Genesis. | |

Artistic License – Space | |
Star Trek: Prodigy / int_e6558beb | comment |
Artistic License – Space: The Protostar's drive system is apparently powered by a literal protostar that they have on board. This in spite of the fact that protostars weigh trillions of tonnes and don't undergo nuclear fusion.note Protostars are still relatively poorly-understood due to the fact that they output very little visible light. However, remote observation suggests that, while they don't undergo fusion, they do output spectacular amounts of infrared radiation. For a society with Artificial Gravity and the creation of Antimatter, containing a protostar and harnessing its radiative output would be fairly easy. The real question is if it would generate more power than the Matter/Antimatter reaction they already use to power ships | |

Rubber-Forehead Aliens | |
Star Trek: Prodigy / int_e78aa97d | comment |
Pog's repulsion at Janeway's smooth forehead is a nod to Star Trek's longtime reliance on Rubber-Forehead Aliens. | |

Younger Than They Look | |
Star Trek: Prodigy / int_e9db9908 | comment |
Younger Than They Look: Despite being the largest of the crew, Rok-Tahk is also the youngest at eight years old. Jankom Pog is listed in official materials as being 16 but, being a Tellarite and all, he looks like a 30 to 40-year-old by human standards. At least chronologically, Jankom is actually much older than the rest of the crew, having been put on a Sleeper Starship during the period of Enterprise, i.e pre-Federation founding, and therefore is more than two hundred and sixteen based purely on birthdate, even if cryostasis prevented him aging. | |

Oddball in the Series | |
Star Trek: Prodigy / int_f068cba | comment |
Oddball in the Series: This is the first series to have an entirely non-human crew and the first full-length series to use CGI animation. It does have occasional moments where it gets darker and more serious. | |

Locked Out of the Loop | |
Star Trek: Prodigy / int_f06b07ff | comment |
Locked Out of the Loop: The Diviner has worked to keep the young slaves (and his daughter) ignorant of the universe beyond Tars Lamora - including the Federation and Starfleet. Thus, Hologram Janeway has to fill them in. Janeway. As far as she is apparently aware, the kids are Starfleet cadets, not escapees from a mining planet. There are also ship records that are classified even to her, which include the Protostar's original mission and crew. | |

Never Say "Die" | |
Star Trek: Prodigy / int_f51c5f3c | comment |
Never Say "Die": Downplayed; "die" is used, but "kill" is not. Torture is alluded to, but never referred to as such. | |

Star Trek: Prodigy / int_fb9e2ffd | comment |
Team Pet: Murf fulfills this role at first, since he doesn’t seem to be able to talk and mostly spends his time trying to eat equipment. | |

Canon Immigrant | |
Star Trek: Prodigy / int_fc7c4f92 | comment |
Canon Immigrant: The Brikar species. They made their first appearance in the Starfleet Academy novel Worf's First Adventure, but this is their first on-screen appearance. The mineral Chimerium first appeared in the Starfleet Corps of Engineers novel Invincible by David Mack and Keith R.A. DeCandido. Mack serves as story consultant on Star Trek: Prodigy. Rok-Tahk's explanation of how different people can seem so far away from each other in the holodeck through "motion floor tracking" and "visual horizon manipulation" comes from the "Star Trek: The Next Generation Technical Manual" reference book. Janeway's sister, who was mentioned several times on Star Trek: Voyager, is finally given the name Phoebe, which was first established in the 1996 Voyager novel Mosaic, written by Voyager co-creator Jeri Taylor. | |
