I enjoyed these more than I thought I would! Most of my own thoughts after watching have been broached here already, but there was one thing that interested me in SAM's interactions with the EMH Doctor:
Didn't he seem visibly shaken when asked about the Protostar crew, like he knew something SAM didn't? I don't recall the conversation exactly, but could this be a backdoor to giving the Prodigy storyline some closure down the line on Academy?
I'm theorising in part because after "Those old scientists" I could definitely imagine a similar animation-to-live-action crossover. We already had a Brikar walking around on campus, and I'm fairly sure Ella Purnell could pull off Gwyn on camera 🙂
I didn't think that at the time, but on rewatch...maybe? At least some of the Prodigy kids are on the memorial wall, but that doesn't really mean much in context. I'm not sure how the production timelines of the two series aligned when this pilot would have been filming, but they may even have been attempting to do a little synergy.
