Predictions

This week we’re going to see how right we were about the predictions for 2020 we made last December, then we’ll share our prediction for 2021. If nothing else, this should prove amusing. And remember, as always, no wagering. 

All right. Let’s see how we did…

KREG (.5)

  • We will get word on a Pike Star Trek series (announcing a 2021 premier)
  • Worf will be on Picard, season one
  • We will get a release date for Tarantino’s Trek film to be released in 2023.
  • Bonus: “Star Trek: Quark” will be coming as soon as they strike a deal

CHUCK (1.5)

  • We will get word on a Pike Star Trek series (rider: that they would go into production in 2020) It will be met with great enthusiasm, but there will still be naysayers
  • We will say goodbye to one of the beloved TNG characters on Picard
  • We will finally official word that we are going ahead with a Star Trek movie
  • Bonus: Patrick Stewart will get a statue 

CLINTON (3)

  • We will get word on a Pike Star Trek series 
  • Many people will not be happy with the way season one ends (could be a cliffhanger, a death, whatever)
  • Quentin Tarantion will drop plans to make his Star Trek movie

Warp Speed Round Table
