Warp Speed Round Table
This time, we review our predictions for 2022 and foolishly, er, boldly make new ones for 2023.
Clinton’s 2022 predictions were…
- (X) It will be announced that Mary Chiefo will have a recurring role as L’Rell on “Strange New Worlds”*
- (X) Gray will become Discovery’s ship’s counselor
- (X) We will get casting news on the new “Star Trek” movie
- (✔) We will see Captain April in “Strange New Worlds”
Kreg’s 2022 predictions were…
- (X) Arex will appear as an officer on “Strange New Worlds”*
- (X) We will see Worf in “Picard” season 2 (and possibly Robert Picardo)*
- (X) The DMA is tied to the evolved form of V’ger, last seen at the end of “Star Trek: The Motion Picture”
- (✔) We will see Kyle (TOS, Wrath of Khan) on “Strange New Worlds”
Chuck’s 2022 predictions were…
- (X) “Picard” Season 2 will not involve a familiar trope (time travel, klingon alliance, mirror universe)**
- (✔) When the source of the DMA is located, Cleveland Booker will try to attack it, no longer able to contain his anger
- (X) We will see Geordi LaForge in season 2 of “Picard”
- (✔) We will learn what species Dal R’El (“Prodigy”) belongs to (side prediction, he is a Talaxian)
And here are our predictions for 2023
Clinton
- This will be the last season of “Discovery”
- There will be no word at all on the next Star Trek theatrical movie
- We will get word on the next Trek series to go into rotation on Paramount+.
- We will see or have mention made of Dr. Roger Korby on “Strange New Worlds”
- We will see or have mention made of Gary Mitchell on “Strange New Worlds”
- Voyager-A will appear on “Prodigy”
- Barclay will appear in “Picard”
Kreg
- I think we will hear an announcement for a Worf Show
- A new NEW Star Trek movie will be on the horizon
- We will see Mudd on Strange New Worlds
- Somehow we will see some characters from Prodigy crossover
- Bonus: Edward from Short Treks will return
Chuck
- We’ll get a “Strange New Worlds” appearance from a TOS characters like Scotty and McCoy
- Book won’t serve his entire sentence and Burham will find another love interest
- They are going to make an exception to the augment rule for Dal R’El
- “Prodigy,” Season 2 will not premier until 2024
- If we do hear something about “Star Trek 4,” it will be about more delays
End Of Show
It’s about time to refill the dilithium chamber and get on out of here.
