History Recap / StarTrekProdigyS1E10AMoralStarPart2

* FantasticRacism: The Diviner's comments about Gwyn choosing to save the Federation suggest his unnecessarily malicious actions in his crusade are due to the belief that the Vau N'Akat are a superior species who don't have to consider the well-being of others. If his attitude wasn't uncommon, it might have been the cause of the civil war on their home planet of Solum.

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Gwyn holds her MorphWeapon at the Diviner's throat, only for him to remind her that it was his gift to her, at which point he takes control of it and makes it bind her arms.

* TitleDrop: Janeway says of the crew, "each of them a ''prodigy'' in the making."

* {{Foreshadowing}}: When discussing the empty protostar containment, Hoh-Janeway says the protostar isn't on the ship and quickly darts her gaze to Gwyn. Since Janeway should know exactly where the protostar is, both serve as hints that Janeway isn't as loyal to the Diviner as he thinks.

* OhCrap: The Diviner's eyes widen in shock when he realizes that Zero is about to remove his containment suit.

* AbsurdlySharpClaws: The Catian is able to slice through solid metal (Drednok's head) with one swipe of her claws.
* BadassAdorable: Bet you weren't expecting Drednok to meet his end at the claws of the little Catian kitten!

* FantasticRacism: The Diviner's comments about Gwyn choosing to save the Federation suggest his unnecessarily malicious actions in his crusade are due to the belief that the Vau N'Akat are a superior species who don't have to consider the well-being of their "leaders". If his attitude wasn't uncommon, it might have been the cause of the civil war on their home planet of Solum.
* LaserGuidedKarma: The Diviner, having previously forced others to look upon [[BrownNoteBeing Zero's]] form, is himself given visual exposure to Zero's true appearance to drive him mad so he can't hurt anyone else.

* NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: The Diviner seeks to avert his homeworld's self destruction from a civil war sparked by first contact. As noble as this goal on its own is, it's clear his actions are tainted by utter contempt for any form of life that isn't Vau N'Akat, either from spitefully trying to kill everyone on his slave colony or his complete eschewing of any diplomatic communication with Starfleet to instead commit a mad act of terrorism that would disrupt lines of support for countless worlds.

* FantasticRacism: The Diviner's comments suggest his unnecessarily malicious actions in his crusade are due to the belief that the Vau N'Akat are a superior species. If his attitude wasn't uncommon, it might be the cause of the civil war on his planet.

* BittersweetEnding: Drednok has been destroyed, the Diviner has been driven mad by Zero’s true form and left marooned on Tars Lamora, while the miners have been given control of his ship and the crew resume their quest to reach the Federation. However, there is still the matter of the program in the ''Protostar'' that will destroy Starfleet should they ever make contact with the ''Protostar''. And Gwyn, the only one who knew about it, had her memory of it erased when she briefly glimpsed a reflection of Zero’s true form…

* TheDogBitesBack: Finally able to communicate and organize, the miners immediately turn their attention to giving Drednok some long overdue comeuppance.

* MadnessMantra: Gwyn. "We can't go."
* [[MurderIsTheBestSolution Genocide Is The Best Solution]]: The Diviner plans to destroy the Federation to prevent the disastrous first contact which will result in the Vau N'Akat destroying themselves in a civil war. When Gwyn [[StatingTheSimpleSolution points out]] that he could simply try ''talking'' to the Federation (after all, they probably won't try and make contact with the Vau N'Akat if they know what the consequences will be) he angrily rebuffs this, insisting that the time for talking is over -- despite the fact that it hasn't even actually ''begun'' yet.

* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: While the details aren't really explained, it can be assumed that Starfleet's first contact with Solum [[TimeTravelTenseTrouble was/will be]] as peaceful and well-intentioned as is usual for Starfleet. It's not like they'd know that it would lead to a civil war that would annihilate the Vau N'Akat.
* WhamShot: The episode ends with the real Janeway flying off to locate the ''Protostar'' and hopefully Chakotay.
