Star Trek: Prodigy - Kobayashi

Star Trek Saturday gives us another episode of Star Trek: Prodigy. “Kobayashi” reintroduces two concepts from previous incarnations of Star Trek. The first, the Holodeck, is discovered by Dal R’El (Brett Gray) who becomes obsessed with the second: The Kobyashi Maru Scenario. Much of the episode consists of Dal failing the Starfleet training scenario over and over before learning the lesson that the program is meant to offer. The hologram scenarios are notable for offering versions of several Star Trek characters to fill out the training crew making use of their voices from the Star Trek library including Spock, Uhura, Scotty, and Odo which limits what they can say but still works well enough to sell the premise of the episode while offering a hat tip to what has come before.

Planetary #3

Planetary #3

Flashback Friday takes us back to another adventure of the Archaeologists of the Impossible. There are better issues of Planetary but I don’t know if there’s a cooler issue than Planetary #3 which sends Elijah Snow, Jakita Wagner, and the Drummer to Hong Kong to investigate the ghost of a murdered cop seeking vengeance killing criminals with brutal efficiency. The issue continues to showcase how any kind of story can be a Planetary story and works in a panel to remind us how freakin’ cool Jakita Wagner is.
