So, is anyone else anticipating some crossover with Prodigy and the events that affected the Prime Universe in it’s Season 2?
Because that’s exactly where my mind went when they did the whole foreshadowing of “someone sure is opening a lot of time rifts lately”. (I might have that quote off a bit from Captain Freeman but I’ll edit once I get a chance to rewatch.)
It didn’t cross my mind, but that would certainly be a treat. I can’t recall off the top of my head exactly how the timelines line up.
The events of Prodigy largely involved wormholes across spacetime in one universe (and incursions into that universe by bad guys).
The quantum fissures in Lower Decks are connected to other universes. While this season of Lower Decks does canonically occur in the same time period as season 2 of Prodigy, I doubt the two are related.
That said, with the specific call-out, I definitely see them having some significance later in the season.
I was more surprised that the crew of the other Cerritos weren’t responsible for opening the fissure in the first place. The setup felt like it was leading toward a reveal that Captain Becky’s crew had ulterior motives.
It was a bit disappointing that the twist only turned out to be Captain Becky opportunistically trying to swap universes. I was expecting something more like Stargate SG-1 9x13 (Ripple Effect) wherein an alternate-reality SG-1 is after
