TV Deathnok Heard It Mostly (Prodigy S2E17) May 30, 2025

Show notes

When the protégés get an undercover mission to Solum, they don’t have Starfleet’s cover if they’re caught snooping around on the surface. But when they meet a pre-bad Asencia and immediately trust her completely, Gwyn’s decision to split up the team throws Wesley’s future calculations off. How is Seattle better than New York City? What does El Salvador have that Rura Penthe doesn’t? Who’s leaving bodies in the rocks? It’s the episode where fastidiousness wins over spite.

I Like My Metal Vine-Ripened (Prodigy S2E16) May 23, 2025

Show notes

When Voyager A is dead in the water and Protostar is the only ship that can help, Asencia fires a time weapon that pierces the hull and ages Commander Tyssis. But when Zero volunteers to Steve Zahn so they can take out the deathnok ship, Maj’El leads the fighter pilots to victory and Jankom Pog gets Zero some upgrades. How do you know if you’ve got Adam or a Chameloid? What’s the most popular metal band in Italy? Who taught Picard everything he knows? It’s the episode that’s leaning into confusion.

Show notes

When Jellico orders Janeway and Chakotay back to Earth, Gwyn gets a call from Solum and Asencia starts attacking. But after the crew splits up and Voyager can’t figure our where to shoot, we finally learn why Wesley hasn’t been helping out lately. What’s Ben’s cigar and whiskey? How did Chakotay work out a winning strategy with Janeway? Which magazine proves that print isn’t dead? It’s the episode that’s filling in the adult blanks.

Gary Seven’s Complicated Bong (Prodigy S2E14) May 09, 2025

Show notes

When proto-warp cracks the universe’s cocaine mirror, the kids arrive back at Voyager to find a ship shattered into different realities. But when Jamie Lee Janeway and Goatee Chakotay learn about the Loom the hard way, Gwyn and her armband set everything right for a happy reunion. What can we expect out of Prodigy Season 3? When do kids become Steve Zahn appropriate? Where did Maj’El disappear to? It’s the episode that presents the bathtub theory of facial hair.

Rok Paper Tribble (Prodigy S2E13) May 02, 2025

Show notes

When a dustbuster club heads out in search of bosonite, they find scary tribbles that bite and a Klingon scientist to make fun of. But when their missions align and Rok-Tahk’s mistake ends up saving the day, the cadets leave yet another character behind as they set a course back to Voyager A. What’s not even wrong with Ben this time? How many lies does it take to make a web? Where does a Star Trek podcaster keep their joke Derringer? It’s the episode that’s nostalgic for hose.

Generation Next: Mayquees (Prodigy S2E12 Apr 25, 2025

Show notes

When Chakotay and the cadets decide to A-Team the Protostar, they sail it towards a dangerous storm to collect the deuterium they need to go fast. But when Dal fails on ship-steering duty and starts to question his future, Chakotay encourages him to explore a different career path that sends them both overboard. Who thinks a lot about the Shinzon Incident? How is this story like an evening in Nashville? Which Prodigy character is David Carradine’s favorite? It’s the episode that’s not having enough fun with chaos Murf.

Cherchez la Holo Femme (Prodigy S2E11) Apr 18, 2025

Show notes

When the cadets find themselves marooned with a very grumpy Chakotay, Holo Janeway has to convince him not to let them die outside. But when the kids start to gain his trust and Dal goes missing, the search and rescue mission turns into a funeral cruise for birdman. What have the scientists stopped making? Why can’t Adreek be buried in a Jewish cemetery? Is there a first rule of ship wreck? It’s the episode that’s only functioning at 40%.

You’re Scaring Our Children! (Prodigy S2E10) Apr 11, 2025

Show notes

When the Loom starts attacking Gary Seven’s office, Voyager’s away team beams down to a Tarsem Singh situation. But when Dal brings Maj’El into the quantum equation, Wesley’s calculations open a hole that tank-top Janeway allows the cadets to go through. Which TV show do sick kids need today? Whose phone has been disconnected? What’s both embarrassing and tragic? It’s the episode that’s frozen in primal fear.

The Bit Outlasted the Bell (Prodigy S2E9 with Wil Wheaton) Apr 04, 2025

Show notes

When the kids finally arrive at the coordinates only to find Wesley Crusher instead of the Protostar, there’s no time to answer the many questions he raises. But when he helps them escape the space panthers and takes them to Gary Seven’s apartment, Janeway defies Jellico’s orders and arrives in search of the cadets. What’s the best place to confront LeVar Burton? Who is the reason for the season? Which character has part one promised us? It’s the episode that stands as podcasting’s cautionary tale!

Check out Wil Wheaton’s new podcast “It’s Storytime with Wil Wheaton” wherever you get your podcasts.
