Star Trek: Prodigy - Dream Catcher

Star Trek Sunday gives us another episode of Star Trek: Prodigy. After a two-part opener on a slave labor mining planet and an episode of the new crew learning to trust the ship and their holographic helper, “Dream Catcher” offers the first episode that fits more into the Star Trek mold as the crew make their first away mission to what seems to be a Class M planet devoid of life. Although we still get characters not quite acting in the Starfleet manner, such as Gwyn (Ella Purnell) breaking out of the brig and attempting to steal the ship and Dal R’El (Brett Gray) hot rodding around the planet blissful unaware of the danger everyone is in, the setup of a planet (which uses invaders own dreams against them to lull them into acceptance as it consumes them) could easily have fit right in as a stop for the original Starship Enterprise.

Spider-Man - Kraven the Hunter

Spidey Saturday takes us back to the 90s New York City and an animated Wall-Crawler. “Kraven the Hunter” introduces another Spidey villain in an episode that explores the origin story of Kraven (Gregg Berger) who Spider-Man runs into while saving his former girlfriend from him. Mariah (Susan Beaubian) saved his life in the jungle with an experimental drug which also boosted his baser animalistic instincts changing his personality and giving him super-strength. Spider-Man attempts to hide Mariah while she works on a cure and rescue Robbie (Rodney Saulsberry) who Spidey accidentally puts in danger.

Darth Maul: Black, White & Red #4

Darth Maul: Black, White & Red #4

After a successful assassination, Darth Maul is sent by his master to the Sith Temple on Ah Re Won in the Outer Rim where his attempts at mediating (as ordered by Darth Sidious) are interrupted by the unruly mayor of the town and loud and obnoxious tourists hunting creatures near the ruins of the temple who the Sith kills and leaves for the Karafankata only to have others come in search of them. Sigh, sometimes all you want is a little quiet.

Star Trek #22

Star Trek #22

Part 4 of the “Pleroma” storyline, the universe is dying as the gods watch from the bubble of the Pleroma where Captain Benjamin Sisko discusses the fate of all space and time with his Celestial Mother, young Ensign Lily Sato makes a pivotal decision, and Dr. Beverly Crusher has a reunion with the son she lost to his travels. The theme of mothers as sons is strong here, although in both pairings it isn’t exactly what you would call a normal relationship (even by Star Trek standards).
