Spoilers Cerritos captain

[Shamrock Holmes]

I could see them bringing Jellico back. Just seems like too good to not go there. Or go deep cut and get a character from the TNG episode "Lower Decks."

Harry Kim would be cool, but that would be a twist for him to make it to captain while Paris is still a lieutenant. So I could see Tuvok getting the nod before Harry.

Tom Riker, though its out there as a choice. Jonathan Frakes is already working with the Lower Decks crew and this would give them a chance to tie up the loose string of Tom Riker's fate. I see Wesley as another out there choice.

Other choices that come to mind: M'Ress, Arex, Sulu (Hikaru or Demora), Chekov, Uhura, Saavik. Liked the suggestions of Calhoun and Lefler.

I'm hoping Worf is captain of the Enterprise-E. And I'm holding out hope for a Captain Worf series (on the Enterprise-E or F) or a long arc in Picard Season 2 or 3.

While not impossible, the Cerritos seems like it would a bit of a downgrade from the Cairo and the Enterprise-E for someone who has been a full Captain for between eleven and twenty-four years at that moment (Treklit had him be promoted to RADM c 2373 after between four and sixteen years of his captaincy).

Of the Voyager crew, Tuvok seems like a credible choice. Tom Riker and Wesley rather less so, but neither are impossible.

I think we can discount any TOS characters for similar reasons to Jellico but more so (the youngest of the group is Saavik, a 117-year old veteran with decades of command experience).

Agreed about Worf, although I'd also be onboard with him appearing in his diplomatic role in response to the Pakled/Klingon entanglements of the season.

A thought just came to me...what if it's Will Boimler? What if he did something so heroic on Titan that he gets a promotion and becomes Cerritos's new captain?

That would be... wow, that would be hysterical!

Start with Captain Boday, whose transparent skull allows phaser beams to pass harmlessly through it

That's...not what transparent means.
