The pre-school cartoon "Star Trek: Scouts" appears to be aimed at an audience beyond young children.
In a bold move, a new "Star Trek" series, titled "Star Trek: Scouts", has been released, with the aim of appealing to a pre-school audience. Produced by Nickelodeon Digital Studio in association with CBS Studios, this series falls under the Nick Jr. production banner.
The series follows a trio of characters: J.D., Roo, and Sprocket, the Vulcan. Sprocket, an interesting addition, sports an Inspector Gadget-esque bionic arm. The fast-paced series is soundtracked by a lot of enthusiastic shouting, adding to its energetic vibe.
Episodes of "Star Trek: Scouts" can be found on Nickelodeon's Blaze and the Monster Machines YouTube channel. The show is designed to draw in parents who love "Star Trek" and want their kids to share the same passion. However, whether it will create the Trekkies of the future or open up the wider "Star Trek" universe to its young viewers remains to be seen.
One thing is certain: kids today have access to a vast amount of entertainment. And while they may not always follow the entertainment preferences of their parents, as shown with the example of the writer's daughter and her preference for "Star Wars" and "Doctor Who" over "Star Trek", the new series offers a unique take on the beloved franchise.
The makers of "Star Trek: Scouts" have included meaningless references to transporters and the Klingon homeworld, Qo'noS, but they have also incorporated innovative elements such as an "astro-alarm" and "asteroid deflector wheel" to protect the world from various asteroids.
It's important to note that while the series may not be a ready-made introduction to strange new worlds for some kids, in an alternative universe, shows like "Young Jedi Adventures" could potentially serve that purpose.
Ultimately, it's crucial to remember that dumbed down, poorly written approximations of beloved franchises are not necessary for kids to discover new entertainment. The first two episodes of "Star Trek: Scouts" display little of the smart, multi-generational appeal that made "Bluey" an international hit.
Yet, the series is worth a watch for those who are fans of the original "Star Trek" and are curious to see how the franchise has been adapted for a younger audience. Whether it will spark a new generation of "Star Trek" fans remains to be seen.
