This is the first I've heard about Star Trek Prodigy

[-] StillPaisleyCat@startrek.website 2 points 2 years ago

The promotion hasn’t been what it could and the merchandising came very, very late.

[-] FormerGameDev@midwest.social 6 points 2 years ago

Blah. I hate this.

[-] ryan@the.coolest.zone 5 points 2 years ago

Wow, this sucks. I didn't get around to finishing season one yet but really enjoyed what I have seen so far. It's refreshing to see Star Trek deviate and try something new, and I felt like Prodigy was really hitting the mark there.

I hope season two finds a home quickly and we're not stuck waiting forever.

The lack of completions were one of the things that hurt the show.

[-] Secus@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Never even heard of it

Wasn't exactly my favorite in season 1. Was kinda excited to see where season 2 went but I'm not really too upset.

What I'm hoping this does is clear the way for a Legacy spinoff Matalas teased with the Picard finale

@Coliver Well crud, I thought it was doing pretty well and that they had said it was renewed.

[-] lxskllr@mastodon.world 4 points 2 years ago

@Coliver

I don't follow the TV biz closely. What exactly does this mean? Is it no more Prodigy for sure, or is it being shopped around for someone to maybe continue it?

Awww nooo! Not murf! I loved that little dude.

This is a shame, but maybe it means more money available to make star trek legacy? Also Kate Mulgrew is now free and can play a part in that series. Probably wishful thinking.

[-] ProfessionalHandJob@lemmy.beyondcombustion.net 2 points 2 years ago

removing it completely is a bit extreme

[-] Hypersapien@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

They ended up removing it earlier than they planned because so many people were rushing to watch it before it was removed.

Itunes has all of S1 for 9.99 today. I'm buying in support of the show.

[-] chronicledmonocle@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Was it that poorly received? I thought it was great for a kid show.

[-] shirro@startrek.website 2 points 2 years ago

Had a kid that loved it and he generally refuses to watch any trek show. Cutting off that audience is going to cost them in the long run but I don't think the owners of the IP have a long term vision

[-] marlowe@meow.social 2 points 2 years ago

@chronicledmonocle

@Coliver

It was a great kid's show AND great star trek.
It was well received.

there is no good reason for doing this.

it's already a thing for several shows. The worst off are game shows that aren't as popular. or series that only had a couple of seasons. Capitalism and it's continuous churn of removing and adding new is going to put us in a new dark ages.

It's happening with everything. A friend of mine got a bike secondhand that only came with a digital manual. He didn't get the manual when he got his bike, so he had to go on the site to get it. Except the site had deleted the page his big was on, and the manual for it. It wasn't on the way back machine either. Luckily he found a similar model ok the way back machine but this is going to continue to happen.

So many things are going to be lost because they aren't printed and then they're deleted and no one is backing them up. All those news papers from local towns that we're using to piece together certain events in history just won't exist in 50 to 70 years because they were 100% digital and are now gone.

It's really upsetting and no one is doing anything about it. At least not at every level, sure there are efforts, but not in every small town.
