125. Woke Borg (Prodigy 1.12)

Hey, that's a nice cube. Let's steal their stuff! What could possibly go wrong?! Anika and Liz discuss Star Trek: Prodigy's "Let Sleeping Borg Lie", including… Nodding to past Borg stories while also doing something new There's a fantastic synchronicity between Lower Decks's second contact concept and Prodigy's foundation being the Federation's apparent failure to follow up after a first contact All of Janeway's assumptions are wrong, and it's GREAT We take a few minutes to be a Tolkien podcast (Rings of Power spoilers) It turns out the real collective is the friends we made along the way Anika has SO MANY FEELINGS about redemption, atonement and forgiveness Prodigy has a very clear morality: it's a place where it's safe to be wrong and then do better, and you don't have to be powerful or important or a member of a quasi-military space force to do good in the universe
