Memory Alpha Entry​

 

Place your bets on what you hope to see:

Predictions:

* T'Lynn's transfer
* The blowing up of the Obena or otherwise screwing the pooch
* Freeman taking over the duties of First Contact
* Boimler's clone showing up (long odds)
* The Vaaruuvian Bomb
* The Lower Deckers are promoted to Junior Lieutenants
* ...But they don't have room on the ship for them all.

 

Hoping they bring in J.G. Hertzler again.

 

Cetacean Ops

 

Ransom as captain.

Boimler clone turns evil.

Ritos shirts.

 

Cetacean Ops with Barnes in a swimsuit.
Rutherford breaks up with her.

 

A teacup & saucer on the bridge of the Obena class starship.

 

Somebody spills something on Captain Gomez.

 

And it becomes a good luck omen for Capt. Gomez.

 

I do think it's kind of amazing that Mike McMahan loves TNG so much that he wanted to bring back a character who appeared twice in a role as an homage to the show from 30 years ago. That is the fan dedication I can only aspire to.

A more coherent prediction:

Captain Freeman is going to escort a vessel on First Contact and proceeds to make a bigger deal about it than necessary, offending everyone else. Especially as she confuses "escorting a first contact" with, "making a first contact." Everything goes to hell and she learns a valuable lesson about her chasing glory and meaningless prestige.

 

Another preview clip. It doesn't load for me in Canada, might be region locked.

Funny.. I live in Canada too.. and I can see it..

 

Oooooo!

That's a twist!

Spoiler

Freeman is getting promoted!

 

given the spoiler in the video clip, I predict the Cerritos will be destroyed and all staff transferred to the new vessel.

 

Love me a cetacean.

 

I think that's one of my favourite episodes of Star Trek in the entire franchise.

 

In no particular order:

* I did not see that ending coming!
* No! Not Pakled Planet!
* Cetacean ops!
* Sonya Gomez had a much bigger role than I expected. What I was hoping for with Tom Paris.
* Mariner and Jennifer is not a ship I expected to ship. But ship it I do.
* Ransom going MINE MINE MINE like Gollum with the Cerritos is hilarious.
* Lieutenant Tendi!
* Of course she knows Jadzia Dax more than Spock.
* THE DOLPHINS HAVE UNIFORMS!
* Boimler needs a citation for this.
* Rutherford is the Section 31 operative! Holy [bleep]!

 

There is a actual rubber ducky room?
I wonder if that was Section 31 that gave Rutherford the implant

 

well that was unexpected and well done

 

Beckett comparing herself to Kirk irked me alot. She is nothing like Kirk. After 2 seasons, she still is the most irksome character I have ever seen on any tv show. How she is still in starfleet amazes me.
