10 Greatest Star Trek Season Finales
8. Supernova Part Two - Prodigy Season One
Star Trek: Prodigy's first season came to a close with perhaps more catharsis than anticipated, as the show relocated from the Delta to Alpha Quadrants, and the USS Protostar itself was destroyed. It was a risky move, one that had a chance of falling flat with its main audience. While Prodigy is not a kids-only show, how might they react to Hologram Janeway going the way of the Dodo?
The show's premise centered around belonging. Dal, Rok-tok, Zero, Jankum, Gwyn, and Murf, are all outsiders and outcasts in the beginning, then grow, with Hologram Janeway's help, to become a strong family unit by the season's close. The events of Supernova see them directly save Starfleet, earning a special dispensation from Admiral Janeway to serve as warrant officers.
While the fate of season two remains largely unknown at the time of writing, the few clips that have been released suggest that they are set to serve aboard the Voyager-A (accompanied by a very familiar hologram), which seems anathema to where they were in the beginning of the first season. For season arcs alone, Prodigy's debut year smashed it with that finale.
