Gwyn finds him.”
I think Prodigy is going in the direction of "medusans are so beautiful that they break your mind" rather than hideous. Eldritch beauty. I mean just look at Zero - prettiest orb in the delta quadrant
god i need to know beyond anything else what age zero is emotionally. or physically. like no matter what age they are being taken from their hivemind and being used as a tool to brainwash slaves would be extremely traumatic but all i can think of is that the last time we saw a medusan on star trek, they had a name. but all zero has is “fugitive zero”. do they remember their hivemind? do they know what happened to it? do they miss it and wish they could give up this new family to go home?
how old is this orb
Get some swag and share the love (and contribute to a good cause!)
Friends! I am thrilled to announce that, by popular demand (true story), I've (re)launched my tee public page "Creative Procrastination" where you can now get some of my artwork printed on shirts and more, including this popular illustration 😁:
I've decided to donate all earnings from sales (which is about 10% of the prices listed) to the National Breast Cancer Foundation (donate here). As a breast cancer survivor myself, I know all too well that I probably wouldn't have made it past age 32 were it not for advances in research and chemo drugs. 🙏🏻
This is a way for me to pay it forward! 🎗️🩷
Some of the designs are specifically for shirts, others (like many of my #CartoonVoyager illustrations) are available for prints, magnets, stickers, etc. Here's a sample of what's available now (check back often, I'm always adding more):

Lastly, if you are outside the US, I know that shipping costs can get pricey. So if you are interested in printing any of my artwork, message me and I'll happily send you a hi-res file (free of charge, of course) for you to print more locally!
Any special requests? Please ask! 😁 It will make me super happy to make any and all of my artwork available! 🥰
SO, enjoy and share the love (and contribute to a good cause by the same token)! http://tee.pub/lic/f2AFxKQXtes
I feel like Star Trek Prodigy is not getting enough attention. It's a great show and a good starting point if you don't know much about Star Trek (it also ties in well with other shows in the franchise). 🖖
And it's a beautifully animated show.
Maybe watch it so we have a chance of getting a third season. 😊
Meet Dal, Gwyn, & More Star Trek: Prodigy Characters! 🚀 | Nicktoons
My dad was a fan of Star Trek
Poor Jankom gets no love

So Star Trek Prodigy is an absolutely excellent show full of heart, wonderful storytelling, endearing characters, beauitful art and music, and a great balance of episodic and overarching storytelling that many of us have wanted Star Trek to find! Also there are some fun throwbacks that feel mostly purposeful and thought out and not too gratuitous! Lovely season 1, highy recommend to any Trek fan and hoping there will be a season 2!
Good news: Prodigy season 2 was confirmed November 2021 and will also have 20 episodes! It will release later in 2023 and production is already underway.

That last image is like out of a painting!
This show is gorgeous, we all know this. But can we take a moment and appreciate how beautifully Starfleet Headquarters was rendered?
There's the wrong way, the right way, and the Janeway.
I'm sad but Holo Janeway finally did what all Janeway's want: explode with her ship
I wanna know what Admiral Janeway's doctor saw that made them order her to give up coffee - and worse, what convinced her to follow that order. I mean, this is the woman that drove her starship through some mysterious Delta Quadrant nebula just to get her caffeine fix!! Whatever her condition is, it must be nothing short of total bodily annihilation.
I love the attention to detail in this show! It always irks me when shows just use random physics equations for science-y scenes so this was a real delight when watching the episode
All of the equations that appear around Rok as she tries to figure out how to get to the Protostar are real equations and formulas needed to make the correct calculations.
I spent way too long on this.
Anyone know what happened to @awkwardtrekphotos?
Pfp:
I’m a big fan of the blog and I can’t access the blog, is it deleted or something?
@awkwardtrekphotos
When Kathryn Janeway tells you to do something, you HOP to it!!
So I started Star Trek Prodigy this weekend
(@itsmyfandomandilikeit you were right and it's great! I'm having a blast)
[Image description The scene from Parks and Recreation with Ron trying to slaughter a pig in a park with Ron replaced by Admiral Janeway and the park ranger replaced by the Romulan Captain. He says "You can't cross the neutral zone" and she says "Not to worry. I have a permit" second panel is the Romulan holding a piece of paper reading "I can do what I want. Janeway"]
Can we talk about the SUPURB concept scaling of Prodigy? The show is designed for kids and to be a gateway into the Star Trek universe. As such they need to slowly and carefully introduce you to the various Trek things most of us longer established fans understand without question.
Let me break down how the first half of the season establishes trek concepts step by step:
Episode 1. Introduces the universal translator, several types of Trek aliens including the Kazon and Medusans, and the Protostar ship.
Episode 2. Introduces phasers (pew pew) and shields.
Episode 3. Introduces holograms, the brig, the concept of the United federation, replicators (food and vehicle), and escape pods.
Episode 4. Introduces the concept of away missions, tricorders, and ship landings. It also reinforces the idea that holograms must remain within the ship.
Episode 5. Introduces klingons and the proto warp drive.
Episode 6. Introduces the holodeck, the concept of the Kobiashi Maru scenario, and Chakotay.
Episode 7. Introduces the transporters, Ferengi, and both the concepts of First Contact and the Prime Directive.
Episode 8. Introduces time travel shenanigans.
Episodes 9 and 10 are special because they both take everything we’ve learned up until now and puts them to work.
So by now we should understand how the protostar jump works, how universal translators work, how the holodeck works, how Medusans work, how holograms are supposed to work (to give us an added surprise when they function differently due to an upgrade) and we reinforce Starfleet ideals and beliefs.
Each episode takes you step by step, slowly acclimating you to these concepts so that further down the line when we see characters in wild settings that shouldn’t exist we just know “Ah, they’re on the holodeck.” Or see characters just appear out of nowhere “ah, that’s because of transporters.”
I know this should be obvious storytelling 101, but I’ve noticed that most other trek shows… just don’t do this at all. They just assume everyone knows what a transporter is, or what a holodeck is, or what phasers and tricorders are. And while to a degree some of that will be absorbed through pop culture osmosis, very few of the other trek shows stop and explain what these things are which makes getting into these shows more challenging for first time watchers.
So I greatly appreciate Prodigy assuming that viewers know next to NOTHING about the Trek world and take the time to let these concepts be introduced slowly over the span of multiple episodes. And each time it feels like we’re leveling up too.
This is good stuff!
I selfship with Zero not in a pedo way but in a "we're besties and we solve jigsaw puzzles and go to escape rooms and do other nerdy shit together" way
