Glad we have a release date now. Although, I hope they go for weekly releases, because I don't want to feel obligated to binge watch it.

Where there's a will, there's a way 🇨🇦🏴☠️🇨🇦
I encourage anyone who hasn’t seen Prodigy to give it a shot. I went into it thinking it was going to be a dumbed-down “My First Trek”, but I ended up pleasantly surprised, and I enjoyed the whole thing.
The beginning of S1 seems to be trying to answer the question “what happens if you put a Star Wars character into the Star Trek universe?” And so you have Dal: a hotshot kid whose brand is “doing all the things he’s told not to do.” He’s a REALLY ANNOYING character. Interestingly, though, all the other characters feel that same way about him … so, when they run up against some textbook Star Trek experiences that are greater than any one of them can handle alone, it’s hard for them to learn to work together - until they realize how important that is.
Give it a try, at least up through the fifth episode. Since Prodigy episodes fit within a half hour, that’s like two and a half episodes of a live-action series. Remember how tough it was to get through the first two episodes of Discovery, and see how well that series turned out!
Prodigy feels like a continuation of Voyager. Lots of references to other series, a few familiar characters appearing here and there. It’s written by people who really love Trek.
I need to finally actually watch this show. I might as well use it as an excuse to get Netflix
