I can’t believe we’re here, y’all. It took over a thousand days (A THOUSAND!!!), but I watched all five completed\u00c2\u00a0Star Trek<\/em> shows and thirteen films. And before we bid goodbye to\u00c2\u00a0Star Trek<\/em> for the time being, let’s have a party!<\/p>\n

So, first things first: let’s go over my last prediction post.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. We will find out that\u00c2\u00a0Enterprise<\/em> did not travel through time, but that Archer\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s death actually created a new timeline, so that war we saw in \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Zero Hour\u00e2\u20ac\u009d is actually in \u00e2\u20ac\u0153modern\u00e2\u20ac\u009d times.\u00c2\u00a0I mean… technically? Sort of? This is close enough, I FEEL GOOD.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  2. Hostile aliens invaded Earth a few years prior to that war.\u00c2\u00a0Wasn’t it established much earlier than that?<\/strong><\/li>\n
  3. Space travel isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t possible yet.\u00c2\u00a0BUT MESSED UP TIMELINES\u00c2\u00a0ARE<\/em> POSSIBLE.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  4. Only\u00c2\u00a0Enterprise<\/em> was affected by the timeline jump.\u00c2\u00a0In hindsight, I realize why I said this, but this is such a sloppy prediction. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEANT. I hope???<\/strong><\/li>\n
  5. And Archer & company will correct the timeline by the end of the first episode of the season.\u00c2\u00a0Bah! It was a two-parter.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  6. HOWEVER!!!! Season four will be about how Archer\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s \u00e2\u20ac\u0153death\u00e2\u20ac\u009d on the Xindi weapon massively upset time.\u00c2\u00a0This was a solid prediction, but also COMPLETELY WRONG.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  7. And\u00c2\u00a0this<\/em> will be the means by which the Temporal Cold War is finally explained in full.\u00c2\u00a0I was right about this one, though!!!<\/strong><\/li>\n
  8. WHAT IF THE TEMPORAL COLD WAR IS ACTUALLY HOW ARCHER JUST COMPLETELY FUCKED UP TIME FOR EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING.\u00c2\u00a0I mean… this would have been a cool story!\u00c2\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n
  9. We will see Daniels again.\u00c2\u00a0Twice!<\/strong><\/li>\n
  10. And Silik.\u00c2\u00a0Once!<\/strong><\/li>\n
  11. And that weird Future Man.\u00c2\u00a0I’m only now realizing just how much they dropped the ball on this.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  12. FUTURE MAN\u00e2\u20ac\u2122S IDENTITY WILL BE REVEALED.\u00c2\u00a0WHO THE HELL WAS THAT PERSON????<\/strong><\/li>\n
  13. (It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not someone we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve met before.)\u00c2\u00a0I tried.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  14. T\u00e2\u20ac\u2122Pol and Tucker will advance their relationship in season 4.\u00c2\u00a0AND THEN THEY WON’T. WHY MUST YOU TORMENT ME.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  15. Travis will see his family again.\u00c2\u00a0Nope.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  16. Fuck it, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m doing it again, REED DELVES INTO HIS FAMILY PAST MORE.\u00c2\u00a0UGH I WANTED THIS.\u00c2\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n
  17. We will see one of Phlox\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s wives in this season.\u00c2\u00a0Nope again!<\/strong><\/li>\n
  18. Hoshi gets at least one episode centered around her.\u00c2\u00a0UGH NOT REALLY.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  19. The finale of this show will be a flash forward to the formation of the Federation, and we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll get to see the scene Daniels took Archer to in \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Zero Hour.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d\u00c2\u00a0I WAS SO CLOSE!!!! The penultimate one was close to this but that finale… okay. OKAY.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    So, about\u00c2\u00a0Discovery<\/em>: I am not currently taking commissions for it, as I’ve got nearly ten shows to get through on Mark Watches in the coming year or so. I am most likely going to wait for the season to be over before I open it to being claimed, and I will make a post about it when that’s the case. (I’ll always announce it on my Patreon<\/a> first, though, so Patrons can get a head start.) Until then, this is where my\u00c2\u00a0Star Trek<\/em> ride ends, SO.<\/p>\n

    SO!<\/p>\n

    It’s time for a MASSIVE Q&A, and this can cover EVERYTHING prior to the release of\u00c2\u00a0Discovery.\u00c2\u00a0<\/em>All the shows, all the films (including the reboot movies), and all other mediums are fair for questions, recommendations, etc. Anything\u00c2\u00a0Star Trek<\/em> you wanna ask me, NOW IS THE TIME. And feel free to ask about non-Trek<\/em> stuff, too! I’ll be checking this throughout the day as I’m waiting for Yallfest events to start. I CAN’T WAIT!<\/p>\n

    Thank you to the thousands upon thousands of\u00c2\u00a0Trek<\/em> fans who joined me on this multi-year journey. I’m so glad that I got to watch these shows along with all of you. <3<\/p>\n
