Chlorine triflourite is actually an IRL proposed oxidizer for rocket fuel. It is also very toxic and has a tendency for spontaneous combustion, so it makes sense it would be a restricted substance.
"What should you do if it reacts badly with metals?" "I'd always wear a good pair of running shoes around it"
I actually think the scene where Janeway wants to go into the Neutral Zone and Tysess argues she’s too emotionally invested really gave me Equinox vibes. There’s a chase, she’s too emotionally invested, she wants to take it too far, and her first officer has to rein her in.
Yep. I was going to point out that this explains her string of over reactions. She isn't thinking straight, and gets called on it at the end of the episode as they encounter the Romulans.
This was my favorite scene in the show. Prodigy is a show for younger viewers and this moment was a very good example of how your actions can affect others when you let your emotions overtake your reason.
I think that having Janeway as the villain (well, anti-villain) for this series is just a stroke of brilliance.
Agreed. Her dogged determination can be frightening if you're on the receiving end of it.
@@lovipoekimo176 Of course she's frightening in her doggedness! That's part of her charm. 😍😍😍😍
An uncaffeinated Janeway obsessively and single mindedly chasing down a goal regardless of the consequences is pretty in character for her
But... Tea has cafeeine!
@@Atlessa It's possible someone set her replicator to decaf and this is why she was not in the right frame of mind.
It's my personal strategy that a non coffee drinking Janeway requires Red Alert status MINIMUM
You forget the line Janeway says after her talk with Dahl "You forgot to mention there Kids!?" Now she is aware that something is amiss and thing are not adding up
Hopefully the others will notice the other things that don't add up. Noum saw that Pog was rather glad to encounter a member of Star Fleet - not the behavior of a marauder on the lam. Asencia saw that Gwen reacted with horror at the mention that her dad was on the Dauntless.
You have a misconception about a plot point: When it is said that the Dauntless "can't" modulate the shields to hide in the Neutral Zone, it doesn't mean they don't have the technology, but that doing so would violate treaty and risk a war w/ Romulus. Janeway's 1st Officer said as much.
Also bigger, more powerful ship = harder to effectively hide. Plus the timing, I mean, they SAW her.
Dad gum nutreal Zone treaty.
That he would not follow the order to enter the Neutral Zone was significant in that he stated Janeway was basing her decisions on emotional responses not rational choices, ie Chakotay.
Sir, Please remove the down....please?
But the Protostar is still a Starfleet vessel, the implications of them being caught by the Romulans is the same. The down stands and another down should be awarded for the Romulans violating the neutral zone
RockTalk also had a moment worth mentioning (in regarding to Pog's third wall breaking) - "everybody talked to Star Fleet officers but me- and nobody manage to explain things to them ?!".
So, you completely missed the light use of the Voyager theme when Dal meets Admiral Janeway? I'm honestly shocked! I mean, I got f**king goosebumps from that!
Me too. That was majestic and it felt like a piece of home.
omg now i have to go rewatch !
When the Xindi catch Okona with contraband and he claims he's just holding it for a friend, was anyone else reminded of his original TNG appearance, where he is accused of stealing the Jewel of Thesia, but is in fact holding it to be used in a marriage proposal? I loved the callback to that little detail!
Vice admiral Janeway isn't being as harsh as she could be. She was visibly irate at Frex when he neglected to mention that they are children. I just feel like Frex being Frex is hurting the whole operation. He needs to be reprimanded to Starbase 80.
Starbase 80 is too good for Frex; that's why he was out at that remote outpost to begin with.
@@MishraArtificer That has to be true. He showed his hand early, and starfleet has a hard enough time with bad admirals.
@@MishraArtificer actually, you wouldn't send someone untrustworthy to such an outpost.
Starfleet's fault for posting a denobulin in isolation. He was surely hallucinating when the kids arrived.
@@BMFC I'm not a ST:Enterprise fan...do Denobulans react badly to solitude for extended periods, or something?
Shaun, did you miss the fact that the kids burying the Protostar in the snow felt like it LOOSELY echoed the Voyager crash landing on the ice planet in "Timeless"???
Including leaving the inactive hologram.
That's what I thought.
Also the warp chase was reminiscent of Into Darkness where the Vengeance chases the Enterprise
It also brought to mind Discovery season 3 episode 2, when the Discovery makes it to the ice planet of the future.
Brave New World enterprise had a view screen in sickbay
I just have to say prodigy has been giving it to me this half of the season! I was on the edge of my seat least two episodes and the fact we got Xinidi?! 🙌🏿😩💕It’s been a looonng roooaaddd !
A up for me is when rocktoc called out everyone's BS for not talking to starfleet and my down as they all had the opportunity to tell multiple officers what they have set out to do!
I think the reason why they could modulate the sensors and the Dauntless couldn't was because the Protostar crew isn't following Federation protocol like the Dauntless has to. They might be aware of Federation protocol by now.
Ultra happy nerd moment when they used the Voyager red alert klaxon when the Dauntless gets hit by the torpedo!
Vice Admiral Janeway’s judgement when it comes to the Protostar and Chakotay is called into question this very episode. I feel her snapping to a conclusion is understandable within the context of this story.
And an Up to get first officer for laying out the facts and calling her out.
@@Beohun straight truth.
Not to mention the fact she has no reason not to trust the word of a Starfleet officer at this point given the evidence she has against the kids.
@@scorch2155 exactly right.
This leads that "Blueskin" to ally with Jellico
I love the fact that Star Trek is finally bringing back the Xindi and keeping the ships we know and love in Star Trek.
I don't know if Murf does it on purpose, but this is the second time Murf's bottom part causes the Protostar to fire weapon(s). The first time is when Murf drops down from the ceiling as they are trying to escape from their prison. And now this time. It seems that Murf's body has interaction that works the controls on the consol. Or, it is what the script says.
Murf is probably more aware of things than he lets on but I don't think he's malicious.
This also seemed like a nod to when Dal blew up the Enterprise-D with a careless feet-on-the-table in "Kobayashi."
Obviously that was a (simulated) Klingon console, but same principle applies.
My headcanon is that the _D_ crew, fully aware of Riker's predilections, just made sure to lock things down whenever those cheeks got close.
This back half just continues to impress. Looking forward to next week and you best believe that I was SO SO HAPPY to see the bloody XINDI.
One thing that annoyed me was the appearance of the Romulans. If they were close enough to the dauntless to appear in the same frame as them then they themselves have crossed so far into the Neutral Zone that they are practically across it unless the neutral zone is only a kilometer or less wide.
Yep. In fact, they are already IN the zone, whereas Janeway is just approaching it.
Romulans enjoy patrolling the border to provoke Starfleet. It’s in their nature to do so.
@@elim_inator I always rationalised this to myself as a statement on appeasement.
The Romulans LOVE toeing the line, and the Federation is trying to avoid war, so the Federation lets them get away with entering the Neutral Zone once... then lets them get away with it again... and then eventually it's completely normalised for the Romulans to hang out in the zone. But the reverse isn't true -- the Romulans are totally willing to use force to enforce their agreements and won't let the Federation get away with anything.
I know it's more likely that it was just lazy/confused writers, but I thought it ended up coming across as a pretty classic dynamic for a fascist power.
@@Nalehw I fully agree here. Time and time again this is what happens. The Federation won’t take risks, but the Romulans have no problem doing so. They have the firepower to back it up.
The Romulans will always “head off” a Federation “attack” by crossing into the Neutral Zone, and often, as is the case here and a couple times throughout TNT, with more ships than the Federation or Klingons. With just one D’deridex Class being a match for any Starfleet or Klingon ship.
@@elim_inator And then you have episodes like Contagion wherein the Enterprise and a Warbird just going around in the neutral zone and not being in violation of treaty (and discovering the Iconian homeworld in the process)
They actually address this in the TNG episode, Hero Worship. The kid thinks that he caused the destruction of his ship because he tripped and fell on a panel. Data and Picard both tell him that that's not possible.
That was an an unused panel, in this episode Jankom was currently using the panel so the user-code clearance was already entered
@@tom4296 I'm also thinking in't there a difference with having on clothes and murf just being skin? Even 21st century touchscreens don't work if you don't have flesh touching it...
@@jonathansheehan1515 Some clothing you can operate current generation capacitive touchscreens through, just depends on how sensitive they are, doesn't work for fingerprint scanners though...
Maybe it was the living construct?
This was an episode that I wish was an hour long.
I think the Murph/Console thing was a call back to the first episode, if memory serves me right, I believe Murph landing on a console with his butt activated the phasers. Maybe Murph just knows how to fire weapons.
Well they do need a security officer
i think murph has gone from being the cute baby to the...uhm...terrible two-year old (okay, I mean he's a toddler who is now just always in the wrong place at the wrong time but in the cutest way). Great plot device and I can't wait to see what else he adorably screws up!
I think it's equivalent to butt dialing someone.
The fact that Riker was wearing pants may be why he never fired any weapons with his butt. Murf wasn't wearing anything.
Prodigy starts growing on me. This was an episode I truly enjoyed although there were some incredibly stupid decisions being made.
For me this is one of the best Prodigy episodes, so much has happend and i am actually very pleased with how this show is developing.
A Cetacian Observation that I noticed was when Frex is drinking with the Kazon, they are drinking from the metal mugs used by the Klingons for Blood Wine.
Gonna disagree with the viewscreen down. In Crushers sickbay, they had giant wall monitors that, I believe its safe to assume, are capable of being used in multiple configurations. I vaguely remember a picture in picture type of action where she was talking to someone else at some point.
Wasn't that an alternate timeline/future that never came to be?
Just looked like a window anyway.
Why is nobody catching the fact that the show down at the Romulan natural zone was essentially a real life version of the Kobayashi Maru.
Thank you! Came here to say exactly this.
I would say this is far more extreme. Kobayashi Maru was about possibly entering a neutral zone and provoking the enemy. In this case, the enemy not only has already violated the neutral zone themselves but also violated Federation space. The neutral zone effectively doesn’t exist at this point. Further, in known canon the previous Starfleet diplomat that was able to negotiate passage thru the Romulan neutral zone was Admiral Janeway - for the Enterprise E. Which in turn was violated by both the Remans and Romulans, so I think they owe her a bit.
so, you're saying this episode ought to get a down? 😅
Yeah, that's the only thing that's ever gone down in or near the Neutral Zone.
There is no Kobayashi Maru in Trek Culture
I don't have a problem with Janeway's reaction to Frecks statements. She trusts in the word of a fellow Starfleet officer.
We saw that with her crew on Voyager and the crew of the Equinox until their actions were revealed. She even believed in Capt. Ransom when he reached out to her to stop his own crew's actions.
While it is ostensibly a kids show, it does give enough to be adult oriented, but as it’s mostly aimed at a younger audience, we shouldn’t look too deep to find meaning. Maybe it’s convenient for the plot for Janeway to be less circumspect than she would in Voyager.
I'm surprised you didn't mention the Protostar's crew discussing how they couldn't respond to Dauntless' hails, no matter how badly they wanted to, because doing so would destroy the Dauntless. That conversation came up right as I was thinking of it.
This show with a mystery and well done story telling is the best of Trek!
It was such a thrilling episode, it was over in what felt like 5 minutes.
I don't think it's such a stretch that Janeway will go crazy over Chakotay because remember she went back in time at the end of Voyager to save him. Now I really don't believe that she would have went back in time if Chakotay was still alive. I really think it only had to do with him quite frankly. So I don't think it's really out of character maybe she's pissed that she never got with him or maybe they did get together and they never showed it, I don't know but she's crazy over Chakotay!! And no not forgetting about Tuvok. I believe even he wouldn't have made her do the drastic End Game scenario.
Murph sitting on the console vs Riker sitting on consoles: They're capacitive. Far as I know, Riker never sat his bare butt on a console. Riker's uniformed posterior on the console is the equivalent of trying to use your smartphone with gloves on.😆 And as for the Dauntless not being able to hide by modulating the shields, that's not what they said. They said, they can go in, but Janeway can't follow, which is true... the kids aren't Federation, even if they're in a Federation ship. Kind of like Old West bank robbers trying to get to the border so the US Marshalls couldn't follow. Janeway can't go in because it's against the law. It didn't say anything about the Dauntless not being able to modulate their shields.
I am wondering it is really Murph's "hand" that fired the torpedo since they both impinge on the console at the same time.
Let's just say Riker's bare butt on the consoles was never on screen!
There is an often memed shot where Riker slaps his hand down on a panel being used to no effect.
Holo-Janeway definitely sees the kids as her family at this point (as Janeway always did with her crew). What happens if we find out Dal is a Tuvix situation and is made up of the entire crew of Chakotay's Protostar? How interesting it would be to see Janeway and holo-Janeway debate the situation again all these years later.
Then I would finally have a conclusion, they ended the Tuvix situation way too soon, and the next week or later no one even mentioned anything it would have made another great episode about debating what to do with Tuvix, I always wanted that Tuvix himself comes to conclusion for Neelix and Tuvok to live not as Janeway did, etc or something similar! I also wanted more Hell of a year, and Voyager finally returned home all beaten up, with alien parts and patches looking like Frankenstein's monster or stitched together with duct tape!
Ooo... that would be properly dark... Maybe they'd do that if this were Discovery, but I don't think they'd go there in a show like this.
I wish I was younger to wear a t-shirt with this amazing, encoded, and subtle art! ^_^ It's totally my style.
A missing warning: "Children: Don't try to make an avalanche and bury a starship on your own!"
Indeed, based on the pace of the events I also wasn't expecting these characters to meet so soon, but this development is very welcomed.
This is unusual, but I'll save Riker's butt with a unique image: As the panels seem to be touchscreen - and how many times did we try to use our touchscreen cellphones with non-tech gloves? - Riker would fire torpedos if he sit naked on the panel. Keeping this scene in our minds, and have a great weekend! 😄
You are NEVER too old to wear clothes you love.
@@psriniv1, thank you my dear, but it would announce a Jamaharon like from my best days that I haven't anymore. I have other great and creative t-shirts to use. ;-)
@@jenergomes lololol fair enough!
I'm sold, binge watched the all eps so far this week, this is very good trek
I was sipping my drink when you mentioned Murph’s arse attack. I was suddenly no longer drinking, but spitting out Diet Coke all over my hands and completed. I blame you. This was all you’re fault. You’re too hilarious at times.
Great episode damn the cliffhanger though 😂. It is a stunning looking show and the Protostar rising from the ice was Epic.
Good episode. It was a bit too short for my liking. I'm also slightly disappointed why the kids didn't just turn themselves in to do what they set out to do in the first place - explain what happened. Having the Protostar stashed would have at least been some leverage to not go in blind.
While I was frustrated by this too, it does kinda make sense because they're kid they're scared, and they're making quick reactions based on their fear. Kids aren't generally best known for thinking things through in stressful situations and making the best decisions.
I was frustrated too, but it's forgiven by three points:
- Gwyn's _abject terror_ hearing they're working with her father
- Frex being _just the worst_
- Rok *lampshading the whole thing.*
I agree... I am already missing Worm Merf. He kinda looks like a glowy blueish pikman from the Nintendo game.
Does it mean another murf toy at the next Comicon?
Hey GTN Shaun Blass forgetting when Tom and b'elanna were making out on a console touching all sorts of LCARS buttons until b'elanna touched some LCARS buttons turing touch detection off on that console.
The laugh out loud moment was during the ship chase when Dal tells Zero? to continue evasive maneuvers - to get the reply, do you think I'm swerving for the fun of it (or something like that)
"I wasn't swerving on purpose." Having a little trouble with the controls, I guess.
In addition to all the times Riker sat on a console, and nothing happened, remember the TNG episode "Hero Worship"? Little Timothy believes he killed his parents, and subsequent crew, on the Vico; when he lost his balance, and his hand accidentally hit a console. Picard & Data tell him that safety systems were in place to prevent such accidents. Clearance codes would have been required to affect any systems to activate. Surely the Protostar would have the same safety protocols in place, if not even more advanced protocols. Would you have considered that a down?
I mean, they gloss over it, but the implication is that Okana knows how to do the shield trick (as in the specific frequencies to use) because he smuggles in and out of the neutral zone, which they do explain more in the next episode. The Dauntless could do it if they knew the right setup, but the Protostar crew has every reason to assume they don't.
No comment on Janeways first moment of doubt? on the commander when she says, you forgot to say they were kids.
Great video! Really got some Star Wars: Rebels vibes from this episode.
You do feel for Jankom because we're looking at him through our lens, not Tellarites' social norms. For all we know this was the equivalent of a polite greeting between fellow Tellarites. Poor Jankom doesn't understand his own cultural etiquette at this point. I'm glad this didn't get an actual down.
Jankom handled the exchange of insults well. He did say “consider me underwhelmed” to Noum right away. I was thrilled for these two to meet earlier than expected. They will soon be the essential Tellarites in cannon, ala Shran as the essential Andorian.
Definite "Timeless" homage with the Protostar in the ice, as well as the coats the crew are wearing. Loved the Starfleet winter-wear Admiral Janeway and the Dauntless crew have though, which I'd definitely love to have this Winter! Gotta love the moment Hologram Janeway's booted-up again and thinks the others have been away for months or years, when it's just been a few hours. Finally, your point about the new Murf firing the torpedoes, it reminds me of a couple of TNG episodes. "Hero Worship" made the point of stating that there's no way young Timothy could've dropped affected the systems on a ship by falling against a console, as Starfleet consoles need a user ID to operate. But there's also one of the episodes with Lwaxana in where she's looking at the Tactical console and is like, "Mr Woof, what does THIS button do?" and Worf's rather alarmed, jumping forward and saying, "MADAM! That is the torpedo launch initiator!" So, it's somewhat murky about whether simply leaning against a console can do anything or not.
Shaun, your Horgon Tshirt made me smile.
I think it is less of no one can modulate the shields and more that the smuggler has the right combination.
My thoughts exactly. I doubt it's common knowledge how to be invisible to Romulan sensors
It would have helped if Okona had entered the settings or told Pog how to.
@@earnestbrown6524 It would be better to do that, but that`s the theme of this episode. overall the episode feels like set up they needed to get to, so they rush it. a lot of things could have been changed to make the episode smoother. for example, it would have been better if Jankom was bragging about being Talorite royalty only to get the star fleet shut him down without Jankom seeing the badge. but as the episode stands it makes Jankom seen as incompetent for not explaining the weapon and the addition of Gwyn and Dal makes the misunderstanding feel annoying to watch. alone Gwyn and Dal were ok. Gwyn was shocked about hearing about her father, and Dal was overwhelmed being in the presence of Janeway. hologram Janeway has become a mentor/mother figure for him. so those 2 make sense.
these last two episodes are the only ones i've watched sofar. I'm sitting just on the edge of going back and watching all the other episodes but just not quite ready to. maybe next episode will give me the push needed.
You nailed it this week 👏
I am from Taiwan and I just realized that Nickelodeon Asia has airred the 1x15 episode already on Friday, November 18th. I wasn't able to set my DVR to record it. When I found out this info, it's already too late.
According to the programming guide, Nickelodeon Asia will continue to air the 16, 17, 18, 19, and 20th episode on a daily basis from next Monday to Friday. Yes, that means Nickelodeon Asia would finish airring the first season by Friday, November 25th, several weeks ahead of the US! 🤣🤣🤣
as soon as we saw Okona, I was like, "Okona? He's the DJ!"
I may have mentioned this before, but Billy Cambell who plays the Outrageous Ocanna was very nearly William Riker. Makes you wonder..
Shaun, thank you for towning down the canon watch. It has made it much more enjoyable.
Cheers from the Pacific West Coast of Canada.
Indeed! The episode of the Prodigy was altogether too short this week.
So much happening.
I was disappointed that Vice Admiral Janeway hadn't appeared to have looked up the Starfleet records on FreX already. There is a reason he was alone on an out-of-the-way station.
Where was Janeway's engineering inquisitive mind. Face Value, My A...
In Advance.... Thanks for all the content! :)
Quote of the show had to be “All of you spoke to Starfleet, but no osne told them about the deadly weapon”
I was very surprised and excited to see the Xindi return
you completely missed the slipstream engine ship ( from a voyager episode where they were send a fake federation ship with slipstream technology) They even recreated the exact bridge!
I think the shield modulation is a smugglers trick. It's not so much that the Dauntless "can't" do it, they probably very well can, but if they're caught doing it inside the Neutral Zone then it's an Intergalactic incident.
The torpedo fired because the Enterprise crew knows how to lock a console before Riker parks his keister. The Protostar's crew doesn't have those reflexes trained into them after hundreds of Riker butt torpedoes were fired at warp 6
the Janeway hologram definitely need the mobile emitter
Sean Ferrick, you are a delight. :)
Good show...Sean
Great vid as always. However, one thing that cetaceans observations swam past was the mention of the Dauntless Class with Slipstream Drive by Holographic Janeway.
Umm… Nobody said that the Dauntless couldn't remodulate their shields; Gwen just said that *Admiral Janeway* couldn't follow them. To make the leap from that to "The Dauntless can't remodulate their shields" is not only a stretch but requires us to disregard the (at least) equally plausible explanation that she can't follow be a *Starfleet Admiral* won't violate the treaty. Sorry Sean, that's ↓ from me.
As for Murph's bum vs Riker's: only one of the is wearing trousers. Star Fleet likely programs many variations into the bio-sensors for variations of "Is *this* a digit?", so if Cmdr Riker had sat his fuzzy face against the console rather than his bum, he likely *would* have fired a missile or worse.
I am so glad that you brought up the Klingon swearing when I heard that I was shocked that they did that in the kids show! Some little kid that's learned Klingon caught that like what's that word? And looked it up.
Was anyone else disappointed that Murf didn't get wings?
That woulod have been nice!
Star Gaurd, my favorite franchise.
a possible reason why New Murph accidentally fired the torpedo: Remember kids are piloting the ship ... it may be that , in the heat of the moment, someone may have forgot to lock the controls against "premature retaliation"
"How ya gettin on? PISS OFF!!!!" -Sean 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
My random thoughts: I am enjoying the season and the stories being told. But I don't feel enough room to answer all the questions began in season one by season's end. I would think that the first season is going to wrap with VA Janeway ends up on the Protostar with the gang and they are searching for Chakotay and the missing crew. But that the initial story with the Diviner will be wrapped up and/or modulated into season 2.
Totally agree on the huge viewscreen in Sick Bay. Made absolutely no sense for that to be there other than plot convenience. Any other fleet ship, it would have just been a normal wall or a smaller screen mid-wall, like in STTNG. Even if the wall had one, why would it be showing a view of the chase and not medical data or an environmental scene?
Felt like a voyager episode. Especially when the end credits is pretty much the sound track from voyager!
If only we had seen the Xindi's parachute!!
I actually have a lot of faith in Janeway. She did realize that they are kids, and she is not going to dismiss that fact. I'm sure she's gonna listen to them, but first they need to start talking
The Protostar in the ice is reminiscent of 'Timeless'. The Dauntless firing a torpedo at the Protostar and then Protostar dropping out of warp is a direct link to 'Equinox'.
There is loads of little references.
The cliff hanger was brutal
Glad I'm not the only one who misses Murf's worm form.
I think I have an explanation for the torpedo thing. They was not the first time they accidentally fired a torpedo. You have to remember they essentially jailbroke the Protostar, so normal safeties against butt-pressing are probably not functioning.
And in defense of the modulating the shield thing, size could be an issue. A ship as small as the Protostar could escape sensors doing it while the Dauntless is too big to mask itself from sensors. If you could high any ship by doing this, it's essentially a cloak without invisibility.
Shaun going on about no other sickbays in starfleet having big viewscreens!! Dr crusher had a massive one in her sickbay on Enterprise D !!! 😏🖖🏻
It doesn't occur to you that the modulation of the shield harmonics for the Protostar is provided by O'Conner. And then you have the Romulans telling Janeway that "entering the Neutral Zone would be an act of war," while they are outside of the Neutral Zone ON THE FEDERATION SIDE, which ought to be an act of war.
It wouldn't be Star Trek if the Romulan Empire weren't being massive hypocrites when dealing with the Neutral Zone
Yeah they seem to get away with that a lot, Decloaking in Fed space should be a no no.
Missed in Cetacean Observations was Dauntless class slipstream drive starship.
Shaun you forgot Murf did land on a console before as a slime worm and fired phasers why would the console work differently after Murf's metamorphosis?
Sean, Dal can not just join Star Fleet he is not a know species from A federation planet. Janeway knows that he would need a sponsor to get into Star Fleet that is a big but, even if that is not what Dal wanted to say. Then Janeway not listening what Dal said when he said "maybe they meant not harm", these should have been a down. Janeway dealt with the Maquis she know life is not so black and white.
Actually thinking about it for your first part.
When Riker sits on the consol he has something between him.and his skin, Murf has no buffer.
@@scorch2155 Yeah the console can tell skin from pants , oh no now think of Riker on the bridge with >>😳😳😳
Yeah, I prefer Murf in the pre hatched form... reminds me of a seal, one of my favorite animals as a kid
It's not totally out of character for Janeway to be so single minded. Her emotional impetus is to find and save Chakotay - when she's so focused on a goal she takes a bit to let her logical mind kick in. A-la Endgame.
My guess is that, every time Riker got his backside within a meter of the tactical console, the tactical officer locked the console to prevent him from starting a war with his ass. It would be awesome if this was a standing order from either Worf or Picard.
Big props for the Digimon ref you hid in canon watch
The scene of them walking from the buried Protostar to the space depot had to be a reference to The Undiscovered Country. All I kept saying when I saw it was "Rura Penthe???" (I know it's not, but still...)
Yeah, I kinda liked Murph as their adorable, indestructible pet blob as well.
Although I like Prodigy, one of the several things that bugs me is that they keep changing the size of the ship classes: both the Ferengi D'Kora-class and the Romulan D'Deridex-class here are portrayed as much smaller than they should really be. D'Deridex-class are roughly the same size as Starfleet's massive Galaxy-class starships, yet here, they are the same size as the new Dauntless-class.
So the Romulans are warning Janeway not to enter the Neutral Zone. However didn't the Romulans violate the Neutral Zone? It doesn't look like those Warbirds are very far from where the Dauntless is.
Technically they also violated Federation space. The neutral zone might as well not exist!
@@scottwaggoner223 They might as well turn it into a Starbucks or whatever.
I thought same thing, technically going by what was said in TNG, if they are in Federation space or on the edge of it they are still on federation side of the Neutral Zone so by all rights the Romulans actions are an act of war I bet that won't be in next episode lol
Could have sworn I heard the balance of terror romulan theme play when the battle bagels show up
Wait wait wait! YES Admiral Janeway listens to Frexx, but did you overhear her „but they are just kids…“ , so no not everything is taken on face value.
The torpedo shot as stupid outdoor toilet down element , is the writers way to keep the Dauntless crew on edge.
this episode was fucking incredible
About Marv sitting on the console... I'm not too worried about Riker sitting on consoles. What threw me off, was in TNG S5.E11 (I think this occurs in this episode) it gets mentioned that an authorization code needs to be entered to do pretty much anything. It gets brought up after a rescued child gets scared after Enterprise is shook and people fall on to consoles.
The sitting on the console thing reminded me of the TNG episode where Troi and Data patiently explained to a slick-back that he couldn't have accidentally destroyed the starship his parents died on by accidentally touching a console, because starfleet consoles require logins or some kind.
