The quality of Star Trek in 1997 was an embarrassment of riches. Some of the best parts of the Dominion War on Deep Space Nine, Scorpion and Year Of Hell on Voyager, and First Contact in theaters. It was a great year to be a Star Trek fan!
The quality of Star Trek that I’ve seen this year has been giving me similar feelings, watching them hit it out of the park every week, wondering how they are going to top the last one then watching them do it, again and again. Is it just me?
IMO, the cancellation and disrespectful streaming removal of Prodigy is enough of a black mark to keep it out of that category. Regardless of if you like/care about Prodigy, the show got completely screwed and deserved better.
