Never even heard of it
Wasn’t exactly my favorite in season 1. Was kinda excited to see where season 2 went but I’m not really too upset.
What I’m hoping this does is clear the way for a Legacy spinoff Matalas teased with the Picard finale
That didn’t work for the fans who cheered when TAS got canceled in the early 70s.
Hoping the cancellation of one Trek show will get you the one you personally want is never great thing for the health of the franchise.
Nah. Right now they need to cull the weak shows so the strong can survive. Not saying it’s great what they’re doing, but Prodigy and Discovery are definitely the weak shows of the current gen. Focus the franchise on what works, and allow room for good ideas to flourish instead of strangling them in the cradle because a lesser show is hogging resources.
Paramount is in a tough spot financially and if they need to cancel the underperformers so good Trek can survive, I’m ok.
Also, just saying, if TAS wasn’t cancelled we might not have gotten TNG. Not sure your example is working in your favor.

This is not how things get made. If Trek shows are not finding the audience they need to justify how costly they are to make, than they’re simply going to stop producing new Trek shows until some years down the road when a new producer with enough clout wants to revive a familiar property.
Prodigy and Discovery are definitely the weak shows of the current gen.
Without the initial popularity of Disco, we wouldn’t have gotten any new Trek past season one.
And let’s be honest about it, without the weight of nostalgia for TNG tipping the scale in its favour, “Star Trek: Legacy” is likely not going to do gangbusters. Lest we forget that Terry Matalas was also in charge of season two of PIC. No one is ever going to be able to convince me that they’re really excited about the ongoing adventures of the Titan Enterprise G and ensign Terry Sue.
The same reasoning with TAS also applies to Phase II and we might not have got TNG had Paramount not decided to turn it into TMP.
Awww nooo! Not murf! I loved that little dude.
This is a shame, but maybe it means more money available to make star trek legacy? Also Kate Mulgrew is now free and can play a part in that series. Probably wishful thinking.
This is the first I’ve heard about Star Trek Prodigy
it’s already a thing for several shows. The worst off are game shows that aren’t as popular. or series that only had a couple of seasons. Capitalism and it’s continuous churn of removing and adding new is going to put us in a new dark ages.
It’s happening with everything. A friend of mine got a bike secondhand that only came with a digital manual. He didn’t get the manual when he got his bike, so he had to go on the site to get it. Except the site had deleted the page his big was on, and the manual for it. It wasn’t on the way back machine either. Luckily he found a similar model ok the way back machine but this is going to continue to happen.
So many things are going to be lost because they aren’t printed and then they’re deleted and no one is backing them up. All those news papers from local towns that we’re using to piece together certain events in history just won’t exist in 50 to 70 years because they were 100% digital and are now gone.
It’s really upsetting and no one is doing anything about it. At least not at every level, sure there are efforts, but not in every small town.
