I like it. It’s certainly different when compared to the older stuff - especially at first, it’s a lot more action-oriented, and trying perhaps a bit too hard to push the boundaries of what they could do when free from the limitations of broadcast TV.
They seemed like good quality and great designs, but I could never swing $30-50 for a glorified Micromachine to put on my shelf. I'm jelly of people who have them, though!
They are generally really good quality, especially the XL ships. Just judging by the ones I have though, I'm not sure about the others. I can definitely understand them not being worth the money to everyone though. I did get a few of the smaller ships, but I wasn't as impressed with them. They generally feel and look cheaper, there's just not as much detail.
I got an email from them on this. Sad that they're not doing it anymore, but I was able to get all of the ships I really wanted! I would still like the 1701-A, 1701-C, and DS9 all in XL, but I just can't justify the cost right now.
If the actors’ contracts are for 7 calendar years but production is stretched out as is has been due to the pandemic and the strike, it’s hard to see how more than 5 seasons are possible without severe escalation in labour costs for US talent.
I encourage anyone who hasn’t seen Prodigy to give it a shot. I went into it thinking it was going to be a dumbed-down “My First Trek”, but I ended up pleasantly surprised, and I enjoyed the whole thing.
The beginning of S1 seems to be trying to answer the question “what happens if you put a Star Wars character into the Star Trek universe?” And so you have Dal: a hotshot kid whose brand is “doing all the things he’s told not to do.” He’s a REALLY ANNOYING character. Interestingly, though, all the other characters feel that same way about him … so, when they run up against some textbook Star Trek experiences that are greater than any one of them can handle alone, it’s hard for them to learn to work together - until they realize how important that is.
Give it a try, at least up through the fifth episode. Since Prodigy episodes fit within a half hour, that’s like two and a half episodes of a live-action series. Remember how tough it was to get through the first two episodes of Discovery, and see how well that series turned out!
Prodigy feels like a continuation of Voyager. Lots of references to other series, a few familiar characters appearing here and there. It’s written by people who really love Trek.
The cards come with the game! So it's more like Dominion and not a CCG. I was worried for a second. I wonder how it'll play compared to Dominion. I absolutely will buy this
I was joking, but because it's Into Darkness. I will literally corner people at social gatherings to explain how Dukat is the greatest television villain of all time, so that ship has long sailed.
