[Prodigy review starts at 24:31]
Tony and Laurie dive deep into the new Star Trek: Picard trailer, then talk about the latest comments from the showrunners about season 2, season 3, and the possibilities for the future in the new issue of SFX Magazine. They take a quick look at sound editing award nominations for Discovery and Lower Decks, a lifetime achievement award for Doug Jones, the new toys you can pre-order from Playmates, Kate Mulgrew’s roles as Janeway and Mirror Janeway in Star Trek Online’s “Shadow’s Advance,” and a preview of the upcoming 4k remastered Star Trek: the Motion Picture Director’s Edition.
After the news, they review Prodigy’s “A Moral Star, Part 1,” digging into the story, the characters, and the best lines while lamenting the fact that they have to wait a week for part 2. They wrap up this week’s episode of the podcast with a music teacher who does “quirky” arrangements of Star Trek themes on TikTok, and one of Patrick Stewart’s very first appearances on TV.
