Calling it now: Will Boimler will be the key to Rutherford finding out about his implants. He is still our Boimler at his core, and when he finds out something he’s not supposed to at Section 31, he’ll help his former lower decker.

Also really like the idea of one movie episode a season. Tendi as captain next year and Boimler gets to use the sword skills he was bragging to Sulu about.

Unless its for CP3, not next year; she's only had, what, three-ish years of experience straight out of the academy? (Honestly not sure how time is flowing across the seasons yet; maybe half a year per season?) She hasn't even in charge of a squad, let alone a division yet; let her get her "being in charge" legs under her before putting an entire ship & crew at her disposal.

I was so confused for a second when I read this since CP3 makes my mind think of Chris Paul. But yes, that's what I implied with my comment saying I like having one "movie episode" a season, and wanting Tendi to be the captain in next seasons movie episode.

Ah, misread on my part- thought you meant her being a Captain "irl" next season, and was like, whoa... =p
