MENGENAI EPISOD INI
Happy Birthday, Jonah! He is officially 5 years old—which, as Dad realizes, is the exact age he was when he first discovered Star Trek in 1987! After a week of camping, Nessie hunting, space ice cream, and cake, we are back to tackle two of our absolute favourite episodes of Star Trek: Prodigy so far.
This week on My Next Generation, we're breaking down Episodes 17 and 18: "Ghost in the Machine" and "Mindwalk."
First, the crew experiences a classic Trek rite of passage: a Holodeck malfunction! Jonah reviews the crew's custom programs, from Jankom Pog’s street-fighter simulation to a pirate ship that shoots fruit out of a cannon. Then, things get wild when Dal and Vice Admiral Janeway accidentally swap bodies in a hilarious, high-stakes Freaky Friday scenario.
In this episode, we discuss:
Jonah’s 5th birthday and Dad's memories of watching The Voyage Home and The Next Generation at the exact same age.
The brilliance of the Dal/Janeway body swap.
Dad’s passionate defense of Prodigy: why it is the perfect gateway show for a younger audience, and why shows like this are so vital for the future of the Star Trek franchise.
