Main MissionWith Starfleet Academy on its way, we thought it would be fun to explore the possible courses cadets need to take while attending the Academy. Chuck, Kreg and I have come up with a wide-ranging curriculum. But we also put the call out to our listeners for their suggestions. We’re going to go through the curriculum year by year, but in some cases we may do the full 4 years of a particular course of studies, just so you can see the logical progression.

End Of ShowIt’s about time to refill the dilithium chamber and get on out of here.

Before we begin our main mission, I have a question from Listener Kyle:

What is the significance of your ratings?
Some seem to struggle over awarding half points for no perceivable
reason. What’s the difference between 7.5 and 8 McGuffins?
When I replay an audiobook for background listening, that book series is
at least a 8 out of 10 stars in my personal opinion.
I won’t recommend a movie / TV show/ author / book series unless it is 9
out of 10 stars.

Main MissionThis time out, we’ll be reviewing our predictions for 2023 and putting everything on the line to gaze into the future and make new predictions for 2024.

How did we do foreseeing how 2023 would go?

Clinton predicted…

() This will be the last season of “Discovery”
(this referred to season 5, which was announced on January 18, 2022)
() 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 a 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”

Total = 5 out of 7

Kreg predicted…

() 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

Total = 1 out of 5

Chuck predicted…

() We’ll get a “Strange New Worlds” appearance from a TOS characters like Scotty and McCoy
(.5) 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

Total = 3.5 out of 5

Now on to 2024…Kreg

Strange New Worlds will visit the Mirror Universe
We will see Arex IRL
Star Trek Legacy will be green lit
A Major character will die in Discovery Season 5
Star Trek: Khan: Ceti Alpha V
Bonus: Netflix will pick up a Prodigy Season 3

Chuck

Nurse Chapell will return in S3 of SNW
Murph will transform again in Prodigy S2
Season 5 of Discovery will remain open-ended
Scott will NOT become chief engineer of the Enterprise YET
Gorn Hallmark Ornaments

Clinton

There will still be no work on the next Star Trek theatrical movie.
“Lower Decks” will be renewed for a 6th season.
We will get casting news on Starfleet Academy.
“Strange New Worlds” will be renewed for a 4th season, but there will be a bit of a shakeup in the cast.
“Star Trek: Legacy” will be announced, but there will be some changes to what we saw at the end of “Picard”.
Netflix will renew “Star Trek: Prodigy” for a 3rd season.
