#renew prodigal son fox
Text
It’s a given that after the Prodigal Son cancellation we’d miss Malcom and Martin. Their banter, their craziness, etc. But you wanna know what I really miss??? Dr. Edrisa Tanaka and Jessica Whitly. Edrisa’s awkward crush on/interactions with Bright and then any time Jessica was on screen were such great moments
Bellamy Young is great in every role though so it’s to be expected

I'm having prodigal son thoughts about the potential, lost season three now that I'm lurking your blog again. I think if they made it, they would've have had Martin die and Malcolm go on trial for it. There would have been a huge debate for the first part of the season about what charge they would hit him with ("he killed a serial killer" vs "it was self defense" vs "it's straight up murder" vs "he's a whitly"), but ultimately bc Malcolm is the Surgeon's son and some politics in the DA's office, he would've gotten charged with murder in the first degree.
Also, the murder charge would create the opportunity to have flashbacks to the Martin's original trial back in the 90s (I feel like they were holding off showing that for a reason for the first two seasons). There would be parallels between the cases, Jessica reliving everything again, Malcolm's guilt, Ainsley might be pushed to try to exploit the case as a reporter (or even start killing people (like the DA) to try to protect Malcolm), and the Martin hallucination would return.
The prosecutors may try to use Malcolm's mental health as an angle and we may possibly have gotten Malcolm spending time in a psych ward (which I would have been interested in seeing how they portray that, after my own time in one) and maybe forced to go off his meds.
Season three exists in my head. Fox can't cancel my imagination (gripping the edge of the sink as I say this)
definitely agree with this! I know a lot of the fandom says it's self defense so malcolm wouldn't get arrested (and I agree it was self defense and we as the viewer know this but no one else was with martin and malcolm when it happened) but I think it would be more interesting and dramatic from a storytelling perspective if malcolm did get in some legal trouble for what happened. also I think if they killed martin, they wouldn't want to get rid of michael sheen, so he'd be in flashbacks, like you mentioned, and I agree we'd see malcolm's hallucinations of him get worse. I can just imagine martin haunting him and telling him it was all his fault and he is just like he is now, just another killer.
I think it would be interested if they went back to what they hinted at with the FBI firing malcolm in the pilot, with people assuming malcolm must be mentally unstable and thus dangerous, and how that would influence the perspective of people who think malcolm is guilty. ainsley would try and control the narrative through the media, but that might just backfire on her to the point where she takes matters into her own hands like you said. and of course the NYPD team would support him but outside of them, the general public thinks he must be guilty, and that he and martin were somehow working together. and maybe we could finally find out about that flashback of martin guiding malcolm to stab a body in the woods during the infamous camping trip!!!
there is just so much that could be done with season 3, it's a shame it didn't get renewed but I know I'm preaching to the choir with that one :(

if you were a deity, what would you be the god of?
vivi: the lost child.
You're a wayward son, the prodigal leaving home, the empty place at your family's dinner table. For your own reasons, you left the door wide open on your way out. The people in your life stare at the mid-August brightness flooding in and suppress the urge to follow. You're grown now, and free, and you engage in all the joys of freedom with enthusiasm. Independence and practicality are vital to you, and you've come a long way on your own. Somewhere inside you, though, no matter how well you hide it, you're still that kid who strayed from the path and you need someone to tell you you're safe at last, that the world can't hurt you anymore. Will you always walk with nostalgia for those endless childhood summer afternoons dogging your steps? As a deity, you're the god of forests, of liminal spaces, or children and childhood, of lost things, of summer and of time.
mal: the revenant.
At some point in recent years, you suffered what felt to you like a 'death', whether creative, social, emotional, spiritual or even literal, and you've been reborn. This reincarnation didn't come easy, and you're not entirely the person you were, but you sloughed yourself out of your figurative grave with the kind of vigour only a phoenix could have. When you sleep, you dream strange and vivid dreams, and your gaze now holds a certain intensity. When something takes your attention, it doesn't let go. Your kindness is endless, as is your love for vast things like the sea, the sky and the stars. You have a certain unshakable fixation with religion or higher powers, and the prospect of death doesn't scare you. In fact, you feel less fear than you should, and you've never felt more alive than you do now. As a deity, you're the god of life and death, of moving on, of growth and of courage.
lara: the firebrand.
You were born peaceful and serene, but somewhere along the way a match was struck and burns still. Rage flickers inside you when you read the news only to find that the perfect world you can see so clearly has been nipped in the bud for the hundredth time. So instead, you rally to your cause. You've never been one for suffering fools, least of all now when the world totters on the brink. You're the type of person who can't see yourself live to a ripe old age because your candle burns brighter than most, but it burns at both ends, and yours is a blaze of glory. You were born to be a revolutionary, and you know better than anyone that scorched soil is the most fertile. Make sure something grows from your strong sense of purpose. As a deity, you're the god of fire, of change, of renewal, of anger, of war, of revolution and of righteous justice. You have a gentler aspect, too - you're the god of hope after destruction, like in Princess Mononoke when the long grasses and flowers grow where the ancient forest used to be.

Fox : Moves the show into a bad timeslot with tons of competition while hardly ever promoting it, almost all shows' views dropped so it's nothing new.
Also Fox : We shall now cancel the show due to...low views.

HOW ON GALLIFREYS NAME CAN THEY CANCELL PRODIGAL SON!!?
The show’s extremly awesome. I, personally, haven’t watched any episodes since the season continued in april because of Uni, but my mom and I were waiting for the season finale to have a marathon.
This show...I feel related to Malcom simply because I have a shitty dad and I know how it feels that your dad tries to manipulate you; and seen him fight it, being the best Malcom he can be...That hit hard.
It’s thanks to this show that I KNOW a have a fighting chance!
