15 Ups & 0 Downs For Star Trek: Prodigy Season 2

It might taste like sulphur, but it looks sublime. The opening to Last Flight of the Protostar, Part I should be the definitive of the montage from now on.

Chakotay has visitors, however, and they are determined not to let him wallow beneath his cowboy hat. But just how do you "fix a captain"? Well, Murf 'the window cleaner' is a great place to start! The power of Star Trek: Prodigy is in its message that optimism is available to us all, even through the toughest of times, and that down to the very dedication plaque of the Protostar, which reads, "It is not in the stars to hold our destiny, but in ourselves".
