Executive Producer Aaron Waltke’s list of positive ways to Save Prodigy include:
– Completing your watch of season one. There are still a few days and completion stats count.
– For those on Twitter and Mastodon using the hashtags #StarTrekProdigy and #SaveStarTrekProdigy.
— Using the ‘Save Prodigy’ avatars (linked here in an earlier post).
— Buying merchandise: DVDs, BlueRays, Actions Figures, Nintendo game etc. Much of this is already selling out in North America. In the UK, the DVD is now the top seller on Amazon.uk.
Additional options from fans that I’ve seen posted around social media to communicate your desire to Save Prodigy:
— Download Prodigy episodes from whatever streamer you watch Star Trek on (Paramount+, Crave Sky-Showtime etc.) or purchase season one and purchase to download from Amazon, Google etc.
– Buy the chapter books for 8-10 year olds. 2 of 4 have been released, with the other 2 on preorder through major sellers.
– Send a paper snail mail letter to the head of children’s programming at Paramount. I have seen this name and address posted elsewhere

– Sign the Save Star Trek Prodigy petition if you’re willing to deal with the (now commercialized) platform and the ensuing spam. (Completely understand why most folks here would not want to.) The petition has reached nearly 10k supporters in less than 2 days. By comparison, the one calling for Star Trek Legacy took weeks to gain this level of support.
It’s a fair assessment. IMO, the first two episodes felt like a cross between knock-off contemporary Star Wars and Guardians of the Galaxy. But it’s growing on me now.
