The mid-season return of the CG-animated series, Star Trek: Prodigy returns and is available to stream exclusively on Paramount+.
This is the first “Star Trek” series aimed at younger audiences, and follows a motley crew of young aliens who must figure out how to work together while navigating a greater galaxy, in search of a better future. These six young outcasts know nothing about the ship they have commandeered – a first in the history of the “Star Trek” franchise – but over the course of their adventures together, they will each be introduced to Starfleet and the ideals it represents.
As a kid, I grew up watching ALL of the various “Star Trek” series and films and love how the final frontier continues to expand. Prodigy has all of things I love about “Star Trek” – adventure, incredible locations, fantastical creatures and beings working together for the best of all possible worlds. Prodigy has the added bonus of being an animated show and is only bound by the constraints of the imagination. Anything could happen and I am excited to watch the story unfold!
In the remaining Star Trek: Prodigy season one episodes, as the hopeful crew makes their way towards Starfleet, their dreams are threatened when they discover the U.S.S. Protostar harbors a weapon designed to tear the United Federation of Planets apart. To make matters worse, the U.S.S. Dauntless is on a manhunt for the Protostar as the real Vice Admiral Janeway is eager to uncover what happened to her missing former First Officer Chakotay. With these two ships on a collision course and destruction on the horizon, the fate of the Alpha Quadrant hangs in the balance.
Episode 111: “Asylum”
