I AM CACKLING AT THAT ONE PREDICTION\u00c2\u00a0WHAT HAVE I DONE<\/em>. Oh, I’ve created a beautiful monster, that’s what. LET’S DO THIS.<\/p>\n

How. HOW!?!?!?<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Wesley leaves the\u00c2\u00a0Enterprise<\/em>.\u00c2\u00a0See? I totally thought this would happen.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  2. Picard is kidnapped at some point.\u00c2\u00a0THIS IS THE FUNNIEST AND MOST UNBELIEVABLY UNFORTUNATE PREDICTION OF ALL TIME.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  3. Dr. Pulaski will be listed as a main character in the opening credits.\u00c2\u00a0NOPE. Just disappeared! Can’t have too many women on board the\u00c2\u00a0Enterprise<\/em>.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  4. We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll get a flashback episode for Worf. Does “Sins of the Father” count? I’m counting it.<\/b><\/span><\/li>\n
  5. As well as one for Deanna.\u00c2\u00a0I still want this.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  6. We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll see the Ferengi again.\u00c2\u00a0Multiple times!<\/strong><\/li>\n
  7. We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll get another episode centering on The Borg.\u00c2\u00a0H E L P<\/strong><\/li>\n
  8. Q will show up once.\u00c2\u00a0And he did!<\/strong><\/li>\n
  9. Ensign Gomez! More of her!\u00c2\u00a0Well, I tried.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  10. Riker will romance three women. (SIGH.)\u00c2\u00a0I believe it was only one? Maybe two?\u00c2\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n
  11. We will get our first\u00c2\u00a0The Next Generation\u00c2\u00a0<\/em>cliffhanger!!! I WANT ONE.\u00c2\u00a0NO I DON’T. TAKE IT BACK. TAKE IT B A C K<\/strong><\/li>\n
  12. We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll get one Holodeck episode.\u00c2\u00a0Oh lord, “Hollow Pursuits” totally counts!!!<\/strong><\/li>\n
  13. We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll get one Data-centric episode as well.\u00c2\u00a0WE GOT SO MANY AND ALMOST ALL OF THEM WERE AMAZING.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  14. I also want one about the Klingon-Federation alliance!\u00c2\u00a0JESUS I WAS SO GOOD WITH PREDICTIONS<\/strong><\/li>\n
  15. There will also be one story about time travel.\u00c2\u00a0!!!!!! HOW HAVE I DONE THIS !!!!!!!<\/strong><\/li>\n
  16. There will be no episodes worse than \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Shades of Grey.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d\u00c2\u00a0Does “Evolution” count, given that I fell asleep during it?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Wow, those are some of the most eerily correct predictions I’ve ever done. I’M PROUD OF MYSELF and slightly terrified? Anyway, here goes nothing:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Somehow, Picard will be “cured” of his Borg transformation.<\/li>\n
    2. Earth won’t be blown up or conquered.<\/li>\n
    3. Data will discover the method to (temporarily) defeat the Borg.<\/li>\n
    4. We’ll get a Q episode.<\/li>\n
    5. We’ll get at least one reference to Worf’s decision to be ostracized from the Klingons.<\/li>\n
    6. We’ll get one more appearance from Lwaxana Troi.<\/li>\n
    7. Other than the opening episode, we won’t see the Borg in season 4<\/li>\n
    8. The finale will be a cliffhanger, too..<\/li>\n
    9. I really want a Deanna flashback episode. I REALLY WANT IT.<\/li>\n
    10. Wesley will\u00c2\u00a0finally<\/em> leave the\u00c2\u00a0Enterprise<\/em> to enter the Academy.<\/li>\n
    11. Picard and Dr. Crusher will go on a date!<\/li>\n
    12. One episode will be full of Shakespeare references. (Again.)<\/li>\n
    13. At some point, I will angrily shout at all of you for making me watch this show.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Here’s to (hopefully) more fantastic episodes of this show.<\/p>\n
