Y’all know me, I have ideas — and I want them on the record so I can gloat.

Raffi’s covert handler

Nothing says “honorable warrior” like being a covert intelligence operative sitting at a desk in Space Langley

It’s Worf. It could be someone else — Moriarty is a big guess online. But don’t overthink it: it’s Worf.

Captain Shaw survived Wolf 359

Thank god they didn’t design a new ship class. Not a great record on those…

A reasonable guess, I think. He’s by-the-book. He makes snide comments about ex-Borgs. He has no respect for Picard. This graphic hidden in the credits. Safe bet.

Seven of Nine will be captain of the Enterprise-G

No snark here: the Odyssey class is awesome and it’s ridiculous they’re decommissioning it, even if we assume the asinine 2386–2404 service history, which is-to be clear-asinine.

Part of the promo information for Season 3 was that the Odyssey-class Enterprise-F is being decommissioned on Frontier Day. Leaving aside the fact that this is a stupid storytelling decision, I think it’s a pretty safe bet Seven will become a Captain at the end of the season. It’s what Seven wants, it’s what Riker wants, it’s what the fans want. The only question is whether she’ll become captain of the Titan-A or my prediction…
