Among all the different iterations in the universe created by Gene Roddenberry, no two shows are more different than Star Trek: Prodigy and Deep Space Nine. One is an animated series about a group of alien kids who want nothing more than to join Starfleet and the Federation. The other is a show about war, religion and the fallibility of these utopian institutions. That’s what makes it so surprising that one of Star Trek: Prodigy’s greatest episodes shares some DNA with a discarded DS9 premise.To celebrate the 30th anniversary of Star Trek, the two shows on TV at the time, Voyager and Deep Space Nine, aired celebratory episodes. Despite its reputation for dark, morally gray storylines, Season 5’s “Trials and Tribble-ations” is an unapologetic ode to Star Trek: The Original Series. The same can be said about “All the World’s a Stage,” the Season 1 Prodigy episode in which the crew of the USS Protostar discovers a planet populated by aliens calling themselves “Enderprizians.” It was a planet observed by the original USS Enterprise, but not contacted because of the Prime Directive. However, Ensign Garrovick — one of the only redshirts to survive an away mission — crashed-landed the shuttle Galileo on the planet. The aliens rescued him, nursing him back to health. In turn, he taught them about Starfleet and its values, which the Enderprizians adopted as the centerpiece of their culture. Before DS9’s writers decided to revisit the Tribbles, they were going to revisit another classic Star Trek: TOS location using a very similar premise.Using impressive visual effects techniques and a little time-travel, the characters from Deep Space Nine were, effectively, inserted into old footage from Star Trek: TOS Season 2’s “Trouble with Tribbles.” However, Moore and Echevarria were originally going to revisit a different comedic episode from that season. “A Piece of the Action” brought the Enterprise to a “primitive” world contacted by early Starfleet explorers before the Prime Directive.
