That is NOT the proper font for LCARS. I will see myself out.
Under the watchful and demanding eyes of their instructors, they discover what it takes to become Starfleet officers as they navigate blossoming friendships, explosive rivalries, first loves…
These executives are allergic to making good shows.
Hey, Prodigy is great. Of course they tried to cancel it.
Actually, I wonder if this show was greenlit in some way because of Prodigy’s cancellation. They’re trying to draw in a younger audience for the sake of the franchise’s long term prospects, but Prodigy didn’t get as many views on Paramount+ as they hoped (and is now on a different service), so they wanted to make a version of that which is better suited to streaming, without the awkward concessions to Nickelodeon’s release schedule.
Though, I think the problem is really Paramount+. A streaming service that is best known for Star Trek and a bunch of dramas that old people watch, is unlikely to get anyone under 30 to subscribe to it for Star Trek.
I doubt it - “Academy” was officially announced on May 30, 2023 (and was rumoured to be in development dating back to 2018). “Prodigy” was cancelled on June 23, 2023.
I’ll grant that the dates are pretty close together, but I think in a perfect world the two shows would run together, with “Prodigy” targeting the tween crowd, and “Academy” skewing a bit older.
I think the problem is really Paramount+.
This, I completely agree with.
Aren’t there enough leading characters named Shepard in sci-fi?
Never.
