102. Everybody Lives! (Prodigy 1.10)

Prodigy comes in for an almost flawless mid-season finale! Anika and Liz take a good, long look at Zero, and the discuss:

• The sheer joy of watching a carefully planned story, competently told
• If Lower Decks and Picard are sequels to TNG, and Prodigy is a sequel to Voyager, will the Section 31 series be a sequel to DS9? (Liz has suggestions and they involve casting Alexander Siddig…)
• We talk a lot about how the Diviner is a child slaver, but he also has the regular kind of slaves AND THAT'S NOT BETTER!
• How the Diviner is like one particular Australian scam artist…
• We have some qualms about the Diviner's fate
• Protecting Rok-Tahk is SO important
• The Shipping News (Liz has a lot of Janeway/Chakotay feels)
