There are six episodes left of Star Trek: Prodigy’s second season, and tonight we’re gonna binge! The pace is so unrelenting, the twists so twisty, the events so eventful, that the Prime Subjective crew decided we had no choice but to discuss this back part of season two altogether! Join us for Star Trek: Prodigy S2E15 and S2E16 – “Ascension Parts I & II”, S2E17 – “Brink”, S2E18 – “Touch of Grey”, and S2E19 and S2E20 – “Ouroboros.” Chris Newcomer, Karie Coleman-Hinners and Mike Henley brave the timey-wimyness of Prodigy’s second season and live to tell the tale!

Prodigy S02E011&12 + Voyager S04E04
Let’s fly! It’s time for an old Star Trek tradition where we make a broken-down ship spaceworthy! In the now, in Prodigy S2E11 and E12, “Last Flight of the Protostar Parts I and II,” the Prodigy gang finally meet Captain Chakotay, stranded on a distant planet. And they have no choice but to roll up their sleeves and plot an escape! Then, we take a trip into the Before for more Chakotay character study, we journey to Star Trek: Voyager S4E4, “Nemesis,” where the commander is stranded and meets the Vori, an alien soldier race that harbors some secrets and enough slightly-off idiosycratic idioms that you can fathom! Grab some warm Coverings, pour yourself something Savory, and dive into some Gloried Tellings about some Trek!
Prodigy S02E09&10 + TNG S01E06
It’s time to discuss three action-packed episodes of Star Trek! First, we head over to the TNG universe to discuss Season 1 Episode 6, “Where No One Has Gone Before,” which introduces the mysterious traveler and his interest in Wesley Crusher. Then, we jump ahead to Prodigy Season 2 Episodes 9 and 10, “The Devourer of All Things Parts I and II,” where we’ll meet Wesley again, now a full-fledged Traveler! Join Chris Newcomer, Karie Coleman Hinners and Chris Newcomer as we travel across series, the galaxy and even time itself!

Then, we journey to DS9 to discuss DS9 S7E14 – Chimera (where Odo meets the one shapeshifter who’s not a jerk! Or is he?). Chris Newcomer, Karie Coleman Hinners and Mike Henley discuss the whys, wherefores, and incidents involving these three episodes!
Prodigy S02E05 + Voyager S05E18
Double trouble! Two more Prodigy episodes down, including a detour into existentialism when our heroes make holographic copies of themselves. Enjoy a spirited discussion of Prodigy S2E5 – “Observer’s Paradox,” and then S2E6 – “Imposter Syndrome.” Then, we follow that thought and join a copy of the Voyager crew in the similarly-themed Voyager S5E18 – “Course: Oblivion.” Join Chris Newcomer, Karie Coleman-Hinners and Mike Henley to discuss how often good things and come in twos…
