I have strong opinions about this, and you may too. But if you add notes / comments please remember every one of these series has die hard fans who adore the show.

No room for I liked them all / other movies! Argh, tumblr, please give us just a few more poll options!

Late Stage Capitalism and Star Trek

Since Star Trek series are, to some extent, a reflection of the current time in our world that the series is/was made (whether in themes, costuming, characters, etc.).

It does sadly make sense for new Star Trek series to be the way that they are. I mean think of it, we are in late stage capitalism.

Originality and artistry has been pushed aside for the sake of creating fast, and consistent financial capital.

Of course the star ships look like Genius Bars, of course the costumes lack flair and are primarily black or sad beige. As we progress in late stage capitalism we feel the binding pressure of forced conformity.

It only makes sense that the series would dilute the philosophical foundation we saw in the earlier series. TV and film since its inception has always been a part of the spectacle but now it is expected that each piece of media is its own spectacle. The cost of being a spectacle (to the degree late stage capitalism has forced TV and film to be) is the loss of rich narratives with vibrant story-telling and unique characters with depth.

WATCH STAR TREK: PRODIGY

It is so good, you don't even know. It is the best New Trek show out there and no one is fucking watching it and it's breaking my heart because I know Netflix will cancel it if there isn't enough viewer time. It's already been cancelled once, it's on it's last chance.

PLEASE!!!

Alright animation fans, this is the big test.

On Christmas Day Star Trek Prodigy season 1 will be released on Netflix. This is a new 3D animated young adult animated series that was removed from Paramount+ as a tax write off, and was only saved through an amazing grass roots campaign by fans to be picked up by Netflix so that it’s second season could be aired.

If you like serialized storytelling in kids shows, watch Star Trek Prodigy.

If you like Star Trek, watch Star Trek Prodigy.

If you know absolutely nothing about Star Trek, watch Star Trek Prodigy.

If you like The Owl House, Gravity Falls, Avatar the Last Airbender, or Legend of Korra, watch Star Trek Prodigy.

If you’re angry at studios cancelling animated shows prematurely or treating kids animation like trash, watch Star Trek Prodigy.

If you couldn’t afford a Paramount+ account but have a Netflix account, watch Star Trek Prodigy.

If you like episodic content with a serialized story, watch Star Trek Prodigy.

If you have kids and want them to get into Star Trek but don’t know where to start, watch Star Trek Prodigy.

If you like sci-fi, watch Star Trek Prodigy

If you like colorful characters, gorgeous animation, a serious storyline with lots of character growth and high stakes, watch Star Trek Prodigy.

This show has been neglected by Paramount+ and it’s gotten a rare second chance. The first month a show is released on Netflix is the most crucial time of all because the viewership will determine its fate going forward. A second season has already been finished (it was nearly completed when Paramount cancelled it), but if we want to see more beyond this season we need Netflix to see that we care about it and that their risk in picking up the show is warranted.

Please. Help us save this show. It’s SO GOOD, and it was treated like garbage by Paramount+. Help us stick it to Paramount and show everyone what a great show this actually is. Help us make Paramount regret their decision. Help kids animation continue to thrive and show it’s worth! Help bring in more people into the Star Trek fandom! Help us now! Please!

This is her introduction to a group of child slaves while possessing the body of the one made from spare parts at the genetic engineering store. Maybe she just nonchalantly mentions this every time she meets someone new.
