The fact that Prodigy was yanked so quickly implies to me that a deal with another streamer is imminent, or at least very likely. There’s also the fact that the Blu-Ray sold out in 24 hours and the show is still at the top of the charts in the Apple Store.

I toyed around with making a Plex server for years, but it’s become a priority now.

If you want to support the show in another way, the excellent Star Trek: Prodigy soundtrack is still available for streaming and purchase. Michael Giacchino composed the theme and Nami Melumad (Strange New Worlds) composed the regular series.

The back half of season 1 (episodes 11-20) take place closer to Federation space, so there’s considerably more interaction with familiar species and a few more familiar faces as well.

All 20 episodes of Prodigy can be purchased digitally through Amazon Prime Video; 

Paramount+ was probably the wrong streaming home for this show. 99% of their content is adult-oriented. You have Star Trek (other than this show), all the seasons of CBS procedurals, and the various Yellowstone spinoffs.

I’m hopeful it lands somewhere else quickly. I always thought a kids show was a weird fit for Paramount+, home of Star Trek, the Yellowstone TV universe, and back catalogs of CBS procedurals.

The only other kids shows I’ve seen recently are Clone Wars and Rebels, and I felt like Prodigy hit its stride much faster than either of the others.

Damn. This was one of the best things to come out of the current Star Trek revival. Season 2 was going to be the highlight of my fall TV viewing.

“Death Wish” is pretty much the only Q episode from DS9/Voyager that justifies its existence. The others feel like hackneyed sitcom scripts. Q really didn’t get his gravitas back until he showed up in Picard.

Any 90s kids remember that Home Improvement when Tim and Jill found Brad’s tiny bag of weed and went apeshit?

He’s kind of right - cis-gender is a group designation with negative connotations that is most often used to criticize and condemn.

The ads on Reddit’s app/website are vastly less annoying and intrusive than Amazon, YouTube, Google, and Facebook, etc. in my experience. It’s not zero, but it’s not overwhelming.

I understand the reason. I just don’t think that posting a bunch of John Oliver pics in a handful of subs is consistent or sustainable enough to be an effective protest. 

Congrats, mods! You’re protesting Reddit by...organically driving a bunch of traffic to look at pics of John Oliver. I’m sure the advertisers appreciate your efforts.

Discord is the popular alternative right now, but that could change if they start angling toward an IPO and gear the user experience to revenue generation.

You’re not alone. I joined Reddit during covid and only ever used the company’s app and website. There are definitely frustrating elements—I still can’t figure out how to make image captions show up on mobile—but of the major social media apps it still easily has the best user experience for me.

Yeah, as someone who has always used Reddit’s app, my only support was around mod and accessibility tools—both of which could have been addressed without all this grandstanding and nonsense. Even if I did use a third party app, I probably would’ve just moved to the company’s app anyway. Websites and apps are ephemeral…
