Prodigy EP Aaron Walte calls on fans to ‘Keep it Positive’ as we try to Save Prodigy
Prodigy EP Aaron Walte calls on fans to ‘Keep it Positive’ as we try to Save Prodigy
Executive Producer Aaron Waltke’s list of positive ways to Save Prodigy include:
-- Completing your watch of season one. There are still a few days and completion stats count.
-- For those on Twitter and Mastodon using the hashtags #StarTrekProdigy and #SaveStarTrekProdigy.
— Using the ‘Save Prodigy’ avatars (linked here in an earlier post).
— Buying merchandise: DVDs, BlueRays, Actions Figures, Nintendo game etc. Much of this is already selling out in North America. In the UK, the DVD is now the top seller on Amazon.uk.
Additional options from fans that I’ve seen posted around social media to communicate your desire to Save Prodigy:
— Download Prodigy episodes from whatever streamer you watch Star Trek on (Paramount+, Crave Sky-Showtime etc.) or purchase season one and purchase to download from Amazon, Google etc.
-- Buy the chapter books for 8-10 year olds. 2 of 4 have been released, with the other 2 on preorder through major sellers.
-- Send a paper snail mail letter to the head of children’s programming at Paramount. I have seen this name and address posted elsewhere

-- Sign the Save Star Trek Prodigy petition if you’re willing to deal with the (now commercialized) platform and the ensuing spam. (Completely understand why most folks here would not want to.) The petition has reached nearly 10k supporters in less than 2 days. By comparison, the one calling for Star Trek Legacy took weeks to gain this level of support.
I started watching when I saw the announcement a day or so ago. Really enjoying it, especially the homage in the Kobayashi Maru episode.
Complete it by Tuesday if you can.
Lack of completion seems to have really been hurting the show.
There are many fans who post that they didn’t find the early episodes Trekkie enough and bailed, but they didn’t seem to consider that this show was designed to draw in kids and families who are more familiar with other franchises and provide them the bridge to get into Star Trek.
It's a fair assessment. IMO, the first two episodes felt like a cross between knock-off contemporary Star Wars and Guardians of the Galaxy. But it's growing on me now.
It’s gone now as of 1030 am PST 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Paramount +
I wanted to watch supernova again, my husband and I watched the “ghost in the machine” last night. We were too tired to watch others. This morning it’s gone.
I am so fucking pissed right now.
I thought it was supposed to be available until Tuesday?
Our BlueRay set for episodes 1-10 just arrived. I’m hoping that all the views and merchandise purchased in the past few days will diminish the value of Paramount’s write of while increasing residuals to the creators.
Yea, that’s what I thought too so I wanted to watch my faves a few more times before it’s gone. I logged on and it’s not there. I went through my recent, searched prodigy and Star Trek. Nothing
ETA: just checked. It is 1210 PST. It is gone
Is it gonna be removed from Crave?
I’ve seen that much of Crave’s Star Trek catalogue is coming off in July.
You would need to look in the app to see if there’s some kind of last day notification.

Where have you seen that? There's nothing on the list compiled by Mobile Syrup.
If true, that would be a significant development, signaling the end of a relationship between Paramount and Bell that's lasted far longer than I expected.
Not for nothing (but possibly not for much, either), Crave still has "Westworld" despite Warner pulling it from Max.
Nothing when I log in, and SNW is on Bell's page about July.
