Prodigy gets so, so much better as it goes along. How good is it? They got Robert Beltran to return.
Because in Star Trek no species ever stay enemies (except, so far, the Breen.)
Handwave is there were more off planet much like the Romulans were a lost group of Vulcans and various lost human colonies that were found from time to time.
When does it stop being Space Goonies? Although that’s a disservice to Goonies which is a classic.
I can’t tell you how many episodes I watched, because I can no longer look at my queue. Apparently it was yanked from Paramount+, which is where I was watching it before, and put into Netflix, but isn’t available there anymore either. I apparently have to go purchase it from Amazon Prime or some other streaming service that sells series and episodes. It looks like it was so unpopular that they don’t even bother making it available anymore on the platforms that were streaming it. No big loss I guess.
Second episode was solid. The humpbacks were a great surprise, but then again Star Trek IV is my favorite movie.

About your spoilered part, I wonder how canon the Lower Decks comic is?
Thanks for the info. I never paid attention because like I said, the show didn’t work for me so I just ignored it until today.
I’ve only watched the first episode and hadn’t seen any of the previews so I had no idea what to expect. It was just OK but I thought the less about “Encounter at Farpoint” so there’s still room for hope. Holly Hunter is an odd choice IMO.
There were lots of cheesy moments in the episodes but the only thing that I really, really, teally, really hated in them is the scene where they spent 12 hours playing that mind-numingly awful “San Francisco” song.
Betazed has a male president? 
Wokeness has gone to far!
I am weary of Star Trek, Star Wars, Sponge Bob and The Simpsons. Something is wrong with a society that recycles the same memes endlessly.
Awful of society to hold a gun to your head and make you watch.
The inevitable drag of someone making the thread about the other poster.
I really wanted to let this and the other threadshit be handled by another moderator, but now it appears you’re just trolling. Take a warning and a day off. You are suspended for 1 day and I’ll bump this up to the Modloop. Your suspension may be longer.
Moderating:
I’m not up on any Star Trek post-Picard, but the first episode was free (I assume the rest is on Paramount Minus, so I’ll miss it), so I watched.
I liked it. Holly Hunter was having fun (she lounges in the captain’s “chair”, throwing a leg over the arm, or sitting sideways), and Paul Giamatti chewed some scenery well.
I never watched Star Trek: Discovery, and read someplace that this new show is set after it. So how much of the backstory is shown in Discovery? Supposedly there was this thing called The Burn, that led to a shortage of the dilithium fuel.
Why is Holly Hunter barefoot?
There wasn’t enough room in the 23rd Century for USS Discovery and USS Enterprise to both save the galaxy every episode so Discovery was propelled 1000 years into the future where the Federation is a pale shadow of its past self after “the Burn”. All you need to know is that this show is part of the Federation’s rebuilding era.
Sorry. I have no interest in watching Star Trek: Oops! All Wesleys.
