Star Trek Animated Series Headed to Nickelodeon - ComingSoon.net


if it's as good as the previous I'll watch.

I like the premise as I can get behind it. It's good to see Star Trek animation back on Nickelodeon.

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

Like the idea of a kids animated Trek... But that particular idea, kids find derelict starship and go toooling around space? I would have to see a trailer first.

 

[Dave McFly]

this is eerie when I was a kid I used to watch reruns of the original animated Trek on well Nickelodeon wow.

 

[terry78]

It'd have to be in the realm of like the last Airbender or Korra to really work.

First Full Trailer for Star Trek: Lower Decks Leans Into Risque Humor

 

[Incarnadine]

I just saw a TV spot for this.

My first impression was it felt more like The Orville than typical ST (a good thing for my tastes), the 2nd thing I thought when watching the spot is the animation looks almost exactly like Final Space.

 

[terry78]

I noticed that right off the bat.

‘Star Trek’ Nickelodeon Animated Series Unveils Name + Logo – Comic-Con@Home – Deadline

Set to premiere in 2021 on Nickelodeon, the kids orientated CG-animated series will be called Star Trek: Prodigy I can reveal. Here, as Comic-Con@Home really kicks into gear, is also a first look at the logo for show:

First announced back in April 2019, the series from Trollhunters scribes Kevin and Dan Hageman and overseen by Ramsey Naito, Nick’s Animation Production and Development EVP will follow a group of rebellious teens who commandeer an old Starfleet ship and head off into the universe for adventure and more.

I laughed at the clip. I just have a tough time getting excited for this when the Orville already exists.

 

[Incarnadine]

First episode airs tonight, I'll be checking it out.

 

[Kaleb]

Gotta say I was on the fence ,but I kinda enjoyed the pilot ,thought it was surprisingly endearing.

 

[Pink Ranger]

At least they make an attempt to explain what the heck the "command division" is, for the first time in Star Trek history.

 

[DarkKnight88]

I had some hopes, but that pilot was pretty bland. I thought the point was to be as creative/funny as Rick & Morty but in the Trek Universe. It had a few chuckles here and there, but you're dealing with Star Trek in animation and adult humor and instead play it completely safe. No imagination. Hopefully it gets better.

Which is...?

 

[Pink Ranger]

Which is...?

Just watch the show, they at least try to explain it, though it still doesn't make 100% sense to me (because I'm sure the writers of Star Trek don't have a good explanation for it either).

Considering that I live in the UK...

 

[TheVileOne]

It's trying to be Rick & Morty.

 

[Incarnadine]

It's trying to be Rick & Morty.

While I liked it, it definitely felt like a watered down Orville rather than Rick and Morty.

Pretty much the same thing I was thinking when I first saw the trailer.

 

[Gaultheria]

The voice actors look like their characters (or maybe it's the other way around). I wonder if they'll have cameos on season 2 of Picard.

 

[DarkKnight88]

Wouldn’t they have to be 20-30 years older?

 

[Gaultheria]

Wouldn’t they have to be 20-30 years older?

Sure. Easy to do that with makeup when they already look alike.

 

[Dugath]

Really thought I would dislike this but I actually enjoyed the first 2 episodes.

 

[TheVileOne]

Pretty much the same thing I was thinking when I first saw the trailer.

The reason I like Orville is because I find it to be a mostly sincere sci-fi drama. I actually find the dramatic/serious parts better than the comedy, which I find falls flat a lot of the time. But when Orville is being serious and unironic, to me those are the moments I enjoy most in the show.
