My oldest niece is 9. Last year I said something about Star Trek and she said, "Star Trek is awful." I really need to ask what trek she's seen and why she thinks it's awful. She doesn't seem to be a sci-fi fan, but that's the only comment I've ever heard about Star Trek from someone her age. I'm very curious now.
This seems more apparent with Star Wars. As a child of the 80s I always preferred the original trilogy, but kids who grew up ~10 years after me seem to prefer the prequels. Do even younger kids prefer the new trilogy that most of us seem to dislike? I need to ask some of them.
Anyway, Prodigy is pretty great. I'm disappointed more people didn't give it a chance to start with. I'll readily admit I'm not a fan of Discovery and Picard, but I watched them all the way through, hoping for improvement, and at least have a good idea why I don't like them. I think it's worth trying anything that tries to be Star Trek.
