Hey, that's a nice cube. Let's steal their stuff! What could possibly go wrong?! Anika and Liz discuss Star Trek: Prodigy's "Let Sleeping Borg Lie", including…
- Nodding to past Borg stories while also doing something new
- There's a fantastic synchronicity between Lower Decks's second contact concept and Prodigy's foundation being the Federation's apparent failure to follow up after a first contact
- All of Janeway's assumptions are wrong, and it's GREAT
- We take a few minutes to be a Tolkien podcast (Rings of Power spoilers)
- It turns out the real collective is the friends we made along the way
- Anika has SO MANY FEELINGS about redemption, atonement and forgiveness
- Prodigy has a very clear morality: it's a place where it's safe to be wrong and then do better, and you don't have to be powerful or important or a member of a quasi-military space force to do good in the universe
