So the ending of Prod was basically the same as Pic. It’s a little annoying to basically see the same plot in two shows that aired like a year apart.
Did they ever comment on how similar the endings were?
Given the very long timelines in making an animated show, Prodigy’s storyline for the season would have been done, and in this case the dialogue was recorded, while Picard seasons three was still being developed.
We know that Kurtzman instituted monthly meetings to short out plots and use of legacy characters sometime while Prodigy was producing the first season because there were mentions in interviews about sorting out the use of Okona between Lower Decks and Prodigy.
Asking why Picard was able to go forward with a very similar storyline is reasonable. One inference is that somehow those in charge hadn’t really taken into account the overlap in audience between a live action adult targeted show like Picard and Prodigy as a family oriented offering.
What do you mean?
Probably the whole ‘linked ships taken over by the badguys’ thing. It happened in Lower Decks, too.
Lower decks had a

Thanks, I forgot about lower decks having that ending.
It’s not the first time either. Lower Decks had Riker swoop in to save the day in a finale after Picard did the same thing.
