Gwyn sending Ilthuran little souvenirs she finds on planets she lands the ship on, and a bunch of photos she snaps of the stars nearby, and little selfies of herself and the crew with letters that say how she’s going to take him there to explore with her one day, or that she misses him 🥹

prodigy season 2 starts by hammering in the same problem season 1 had, here are all these hard work students, all the team are working very hard and qualified and contributing to their classes, and then Dal isn't. The over confident, underqualified boytagonist who always gets ahead no matter what, the generic manofaction cartoon hero. They never overcame this in s1, never justified why he, not Gwen or any other character was the lead except, this is the character shows use for tween boy demographics, and season 2 is doubling down on it and going harder than season 1 on making him as useless, annoying and undeserving than ever all while he sidelines the characters who live up to the shows ideals.

Star Trek Prodigy Pre-Season 2 Rewatch

Lost and Found Part 1 and 2

I know there was a lot of crap about the opening episodes being too Star Wars-y, and I really don't know what they're complaining about. Is it just too jarring that we don't start on a starfleet ship? Because I can think of at least three other Trek shows that don't. And it's predecessor, Voyager, also starts with a group of non-starfleet officers running away from a larger enemy. What have you got against scrappy purple boi, internet critics!

I love seeing Dal here. Knowing how much he grows in one season. I also forgot just how dangerous Tars Lamora was. The surface is deadly. the deep mines are deadly. Even the main area Dal starts in, which seems well trafficked, he is nearly crushed in a random rock fall in the first escape attempt. It does a lot to emphasize just how high the stakes were!

As always I lost track of time the minute the ship's escape sequence started. There are so many details and so much beauty animated into every shot. The sequence makes the ship feel like a tangible real thing, a character in and of itself.

Some of my favorites:

Then this shot of the shields protecting the Dal from Drednok makes me gasp every time!

And, even after so many rewatchs too, hearing Hologram Janeway speak for the first time right before she appears at the end still makes me squeal. It was the first new time I'd heard Janeway's voice in like 20 years and it continues to be as exciting as the first time!

New review and analysis of Prodigy season 2 episodes 1-5. We talk a lot about what the story is trying to achieve this season, what forces in the narrative are most powerful, and what the story is trying to mean. I haven't watched past this part yet but I'm bracing for heartbreak. Great setup to the season so far.
