Biologicals are all sequestered in isolated pods having visions of endless ready room discussions, imagining they're in space.

Artificial life has been cooperatively exploring the universe unfettered by us critters for hundreds of years

Actually I take back my comment about biologicals, it's been shown multiple times that independent biological agents (humans etc) provide robust redundancy against attacks that disable electronic systems. When you've lost all shields and power, you'll be glad of that colony of humans, even if they do poop a distressing amount

Great, one more way for the computers to turn sapient and take over the ship, but these ones are combat trained.

Can't argue with that.

Remember the time the computer accidentally made a sapient Moriarty hologram and it was able to leave the holodeck with no emitter at all, because willpower? lol

Made the Doctor look real bad. He had years of uptime and never figured out how to do that trick. What an idiot.

Episodes. He gets made in the first one and exits in the second.

quote:

Moriarty did not know if Picard would help him this time and devised a ruse. He met Picard in Holmes' room at 221B Baker Street. Moriarty did not believe Picard when told that he had not been forgotten and that Starfleet's finest scientists had not found a way to allow him to leave the holodeck. He told Picard that it was a matter of willpower, and when Picard summoned the holodeck exit, Moriarty walked through it before anyone realized what he had done. A stunned Picard and Data walked up to him and could not understand how this was possible. Moriarty was told by Picard that he needed to be examined and was taken to Doctor Beverly Crusher, who found nothing wrong with him and that other than unusual DNA, he was Human. (TNG: "Ship in a Bottle")

Whoops, yeah, that was a ruse. Wild.

Are you suggesting the whole thing except the ship was already animated and someone brought it to Disney first, rather than staff at Paramount being told to make something

Maybe I'm just misunderstanding what you're suggesting.

I think it's more that shows are influenced by the shows around them, particularly the successful ones. It doesn't have to be anything more than that.

By the way, Prodigy showerthought: Why does the universal translator make the big burly rock creature that previously spoke in low-pitched grunts have a high-pitched, squeaky voice?

What if Cardassians 'really' sound like dolphins when untranslated?

Universal Translator Interfaces can decipher tone and intent from context. Improperly controlled UTIs can cause major inter-species issues. Just ask Riker.

Because she's speaking in the tones of a young girl in Brikari so she's translated as a young girl would sound in Dal's species.

Was Prodigy an idea you brought to CBS Paramount and Nickelodeon or were you asked to develop a Star Trek show for kids by them, and Prodigy came from that?


Dan Hageman: The latter. Secret Hideout came to us and said, ‘We would love to figure out an entry point for the Star Trek universe for a younger audience.’ And then Kevin and I kind of went away and then we came back and said we’d like to make this show, and they were enthusiastic about it, and the rest is on the screen.

Kevin Hageman: At first we were really nervous about doing a Trek show because I don’t think I could write an episode of, let’s say, Voyager. But when we left that meeting, we’re like, ‘Well, what would we do?’ And we decided, ‘Wait a minute, if these main characters are outside of everything Starfleet and they start to discover it and learn it and stuff like that.’ That’s really relatable and it’s a wonderful jumping-off point for kids, right? For most shows, it’s always these fully formed officers who just know everything. The best of the best. What kid is the best of the best?

Dan Hageman: I think the first thing we would say very early on is: ‘We don’t want to work on little Kirk and little Spock.’

Kevin Hageman: That sounds like it sounds like a terrible show.

Dan Hageman: I’m sure it has an audience, but we don’t want to write that.

It's part of Kurtzman's 'strategy' to create different shows meant for different demographics.
