Spoilers Season 2 predictions/discussion thread

Now that Season 1 has finished airing. What do you want to see in Season 2? We know Kirk will be sticking around as a recurring character throughout Season 2 but what other legacy characters do you think might pop up?
 
Pike should get a promotion. During Una's trial, Areel Shaw could appear on the prosecution side but in the "corrected" timeline, first officer Jim Kirk is around to influence her onto Pike's side and Una doesn't end up in prison. :)

“We will meet a new chief engineer — it’s not going to be Scotty. There will be a new character who I’m excited for you to meet, but I’m not going to tell you who it is. It’s going to be a very different person, a completely different type of engineer

Other than that, I’m looking forward to seeing Samuel T. Cogley at some point.
 
ADMIRAL APRIL: Chris, this is Lieutenant Commander Jim Kirk. Jim, this is Fleet Captain Christopher Pike. A newly-promoted fleet captain, I should add...
KIRK (to Pike): Congratulations, sir. An honor to meet you.
PIKE: (brief pause) You're...you're Sam's brother, right? I've heard a lot about you...
I would like to see more of Adrian Holmes as Admiral April. He became one of my favorite characters in the first season but as long as he's playing Uncle Phil on the Bel-Air show on Peacock, it will have to be limited.
 
I want to see Sarah April turn up as well - perhaps like when Beverley's mentor turned up on TNG but with M'Benga or Chapel. She could always be the Head of the project Chapel was assigned from.
 
Una is Section 31's prisoner. It's just not normal that she'd be locked up and not allowed any sort of contact. S31 is trying to develop enhanced soldiers using her DNA. She'll be rescued and back on the Enterprise.

Kirk returns as a Lieutenant but is not a regular.

I think the casting will be relatively the same. La'an, Uhura, Chapel, Ortegas, M'Benga all return. Some have been confirmed. What they've got is working well so they won't want to rock the boat too much.

I suspect the new engineer won't be Scotty. Too many legacy characters. And unlike TOS, they don't seem to want to emphasize engineering as much in the stories. So, whoever the engineer is, they will only occasionally appear, like Hemmer. (Ah, I see it's been confirmed that the new Engineer won't be Scotty, so WOOT I got one right already! :) )

Klingons will be featured.

Finally, but definitely not least, there will be an appearance by William Shatner as an older Kirk in a time travel sort of tale but more in an advisory role than fully participating in the story.

How about a Horta as an engineer? (Why not? We've already seen the new Gorn!)
