Follow-up toot:

Then, a small window after that where the episodes get closed captioning, foreign translations and marketing looks before going to air — wherever that may be.

More on that later hopefully, but such deals are very slow moving — there’s a lot to work out. Stay tuned!

    Yeah once I figured out the characters it seemed pretty obvious it was geared towards a younger audience, but I still like the show. I think my interest is mainly in it being the grittier side of the Star Trek universe where not everything is all hunky-dory. DS9 certainly had that feel to it.

      Family oriented seems the target.

      It’s pretty gritty for kids, but many school aged kids are up for that. It’s especially so given that Prodigy uses the classic situation of exploited orphans who are given hope and opportunities for something better.

      It’s also taking advantage of the fact that Janeway in particular and Voyager generally has been the gateway for preteens into the franchise since its been available on streaming.
