This 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 mention made of Gary Mitchell on “Strange New Worlds”
() Voyager-A will appear on “Prodigy”

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…

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”.
