Executive Producer Aaron Waltke’s list of positive ways to Save Prodigy include:

– Completing your watch of season one. There are still a few days and completion stats count.

– For those on Twitter and Mastodon using the hashtags #StarTrekProdigy and #SaveStarTrekProdigy.

— Using the ‘Save Prodigy’ avatars (linked here in an earlier post).

— Buying merchandise: DVDs, BlueRays, Actions Figures, Nintendo game etc. Much of this is already selling out in North America. In the UK, the DVD is now the top seller on Amazon.uk.

Additional options from fans that I’ve seen posted around social media to communicate your desire to Save Prodigy:

— Download Prodigy episodes from whatever streamer you watch Star Trek on (Paramount+, Crave Sky-Showtime etc.) or purchase season one and purchase to download from Amazon, Google etc.

– Buy the chapter books for 8-10 year olds. 2 of 4 have been released, with the other 2 on preorder through major sellers.

– Send a paper snail mail letter to the head of children’s programming at Paramount. I have seen this name and address posted elsewhere

Brian Robbins
President and CEO, Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon
Chief Content Officer, Movies & Kids & Family, Paramount+
1515 Broadway
New York, NY 10036

– Sign the Save Star Trek Prodigy petition if you’re willing to deal with the (now commercialized) platform and the ensuing spam. (Completely understand why most folks here would not want to.) The petition has reached nearly 10k supporters in less than 2 days. By comparison, the one calling for Star Trek Legacy took weeks to gain this level of support.

    I wanted to watch supernova again, my husband and I watched the “ghost in the machine” last night. We were too tired to watch others. This morning it’s gone.

    I am so fucking pissed right now.

    I started watching when I saw the announcement a day or so ago. Really enjoying it, especially the homage in the Kobayashi Maru episode.

      Complete it by Tuesday if you can.

      Lack of completion seems to have really been hurting the show.

      There are many fans who post that they didn’t find the early episodes Trekkie enough and bailed, but they didn’t seem to consider that this show was designed to draw in kids and families who are more familiar with other franchises and provide them the bridge to get into Star Trek.

      I’ve seen that much of Crave’s Star Trek catalogue is coming off in July.

      You would need to look in the app to see if there’s some kind of last day notification.

        Where have you seen that? There’s nothing on the list compiled by Mobile Syrup.

        If true, that would be a significant development, signaling the end of a relationship between Paramount and Bell that’s lasted far longer than I expected.

        Not for nothing (but possibly not for much, either), Crave still has “Westworld” despite Warner pulling it from Max.

          Update - I have seen what the user on the Science Fiction Community was concerned about!

          This is huge if not just an error in the Crave web pages.

          If you go to the Crave pages for the various Star Trek shows, at the bottom there are ‘available to’ notices:

          — Prodigy is available to July 24th

          — Picard is available to July 31st

          — Discovery to July 31st

          — Lower Decks to July 31st

          — TOS, TNG, Voyager, July 31st

          — DS9 to July 24th

            Oh thank God. Crave is the worst thing to happen to Streaming, ever. I would HAPPILY pay for a Paramount+ subscription (and stop d/ling stuff) to avoid having to try to watch things on Crave. Absolute garbage streaming quality, through the worst streaming app I’ve ever seen. Almost makes me wish Rogers won that war with the even worse service they had! At least when they brought it up to OTT standards they probably would have done a better job that the turkeys at Bell did with Crave. Does it even have 5.1? I’m quite sure it doesn’t have HDR.

              Paramount+‘s app is not well loved in the US from what I’ve seen.

              However, Paramount+ can also be subscribed to through Amazon Prime if you have that already. Definitely an option to consider.
