Yeah, like, I'm a bit critical of the art style, but there isn't really anything concrete to me commenting on it since it's kind of all we have to go on besides the very bare-minimum synopsis we've got. I'll give it a shot and it can go either way.
That said I don't believe in giving a kid's show a free pass. This very well could be good, we'll see, but if it isn't I'm not going to hesitate to say it isn't.

Nothing like seeing a bunch of adults dissect and nitpick a show aimed primarily at kids. There's already YouTube videos saying THIS is the end of Star Trek. Ya know, just like Discovery S1, Discovery S2, Discovery S3, Picard, Lower Decks, the Kelvin movies, DS9, TNG.... Gotta keep that negativity porn ad money flowing.

This is one of the nice parts of all the animated Star Trek's coming out. You can revisit "old" characters without them looking 5000 year old or like they just ate a whale. And let's be honest, a lot of the Star Trek casts have not aged well - though it has been sooooooooooooooooooo long for many of them.

Q's return is a stark reminder that by the time the second season premieres it will have been 28 years since he and Picard shared a scene.

Come on Nick, just bring back Space Cases. You know you want to. Mad crush on Catalina as a kid. Then incidentally a mad crush on Kaylee on Firefly as an adult. Catalina was indeed a hottie (Jewel Staite still is a looker), but I had more of a crush on Suzee.

Watching a video interview, they decided on a different take with her by Janeway being a training hologram for this cast.

I will say this and it was true of the original Star Trek TAS, too: nice thing about an animated Star Trek show is that you can get really creative with the alien designs as opposed to "Human with different ears, nose, or forehead shapes."
Also, I think I saw a member of Jaylah's species from Star Trek Beyond.

I know this hasn't exactly been used as a thread since but I just finished watching the first season...
This show has zero right to be as good as it is. It's basically "Kid's First Guide to Star Trek" and I mean that in the most complimentary way possible.
And that ending went hard, man. Just the potential for the madness to happen.

Bumping this because the show’s first season officially ended on Thursday (and put up on Friday for us non-American subscribers) and man…MAN. If there was a show that blew away my expectations, it was this one.
It went places I didn’t expect to, made use of the characters we’d grown to love, took some twists that were pretty surprising and had an ending that hit me right in the feels.
The concept almost doesn’t deserve how good this is but I’m glad it exists. Give me Season Two now!

I've not gotten around to watching this but it does generally feel like the less the execs care about a Star Trek show the better it turns out.

It’s a Star Trek show that loves being one but I’d even say the end of the first episode of the two part finale has WAY darker implications than what LD would do. It’s nuts.

It's nice to have a Star Trek series that feels like a genuine follow-up to the Berman/Braga/Moore era.

Lower Decks at the end of the day is still a comedy. Your comedy can only get so dark before it's not funny anymore. Prodigy, while obviously having humorous moments, is not technically a comedy, so even though it's intended for a younger audience, it does have some more wiggle room for how dark it can get. I was iffy on those early episodes, but the second half of the season really won me over. As I said when it first aired, "All the World's a Stage" is probably the best episode of any Star Trek series, live-action or animated, I've seen in a very long time. I eagerly await season two.

Some of the characters started out annoying because they're kids. But the show is really good. It's not just a good kids show, it's a good Star Trek show.

That’s a good shout, I had so much fun with that episode. That and episodes like Kobayashi feel like both the “Kid’s First Star Trek” setting and great singular episodes that expand the characters or, in the case of the episode you mentioned, expands what Starfleet means to the universe at large and they’re just really good episodes.
