Y’all, MY FIRSTÂ STAR TREK PREDICTION POST HAS ARRIVED. There are many to come in the future, but let’s all cackle at my inability to guess anything correctly. OR! Perhaps I’ll be eerily correct? MAYBE.Â
So, in case Mark Watches Star Trek is your first experience with one of these posts, allow me to remind you:
Do not spoil me or anyone else who posts their predictions. This includes, but is not limited to: posting how many things we got right or wrong; Quoting something in plain text to laugh or comment on, which often can easily confirm or deny a prediction; hinting at wrongness or rightness; YOU GET THE IDEA.
These posts are more about publicly embarrassing myself than anything else. Please don’t post fake predictions and pretend to be watching this for the first time. (People have done this.) Just have fun, make sure anything even remotely spoilery is in rot13. BE NICE.
So! Let’s try this. I think that this will be a little challenging to come up with a lot of predictions because of the nature of the show, but HERE GOES.
- The use of redshirts will be more egregious this season. LOTS OF REDSHIRTS MUST DIE FOR THIS TO COUNT.
- The following characters will get one episode focusing on them in some sense: Spock, Scotty, Sulu, Uhura, and Bones. (This is vague, but I’m openly cheating.)
- TRIBBLES. WHERE ARE THE TRIBBLES? They’re in this season.
- We will also get at least one monster/creature that is NOT a puppet, but a human/animal in a costume.
- We will see another Federation ship!
- We will see more Vulcans.
- MORE KLINGONS.
- We will get at least TEN new alien species over the course of the season.
- The first onscreen death will be in the third episode.
- We will get another episode dealing with time travel.
- We will get another episode dealing with a parallel universe / alternate dimension.
- Captain Kirk’s shirt will get torn four times.
- Spock will say “Most illogical” at least three times.
- OKAY, HERE’S A BIG ONE: A major character will die this season.
- We will also get two new regular characters this season!
Okay, off I go to watch the second season premiere. HOW EXCITING.
