Next Mega Speculation (note: will likely contain spoilers for Picard)

So...Twilight T'Pol will be the first legendary of the mega.
Perhaps she'll be caring for recurring legendary Retired Admiral Picard as she did for Memory Loss Archer?
Which characters from Picard do we expect to show up? Or will DB throw us a curveball and give us an Enterprise event?

That said, if she is part of the February Mega, it might be a Romantic-themed one (a la Valentine's Day) and not a Picard-themed one.
Unless there’s some timeline weirdness? I dunno, but I’m thinking it might be an ENT mega.
The cast from the new Picard show all look to be Civilian. This New tpol is a civilian. And there are plenty of existing Civilian crew to use before the new Picard crew are introduced.
FWIW, the first Disco mega included a non-Disco crew each week, but they were exclusively purples - all of the legendaries were Disco characters. It's not impossible that they're switching it up for this mega, which wouldn't be a bad thing - the super rares are much more attainable, this will see wider use as the weeks go on.
That is possible. As long as the storyline isn’t DB saying Picard is senile and needs T’pol.
T'Pol is the reward for the event starting on January 30, which means she'll be featured crew for the February 6 event. Unless DB is changing the calendar they've stuck to for the last 2.5 years, she's definitely the first legendary usable in the mega.
The first episode has 2 Romulans helping out Picard. It's not a leap for DB to put this tpol in that same role.
Good point. In that case, I think this will be a Romantic-themed Mega for the reasons I laid out in the event thread. The overlap with Valentine's Day and the sudden recent glut of Romantic crew, including two new 3*s and one new 2*, seem like good circumstantial evidence to me.
I want Akimbo Seven to be the Recurring so bad!!!!!!
Sort of like how CBS only allowed reviewers to see the first 3 episodes before the premiere. Or maybe not; I dunno. 🖖
T’pol would be alive c 2272 at least and Picard was born some thirty forty years after so they might have possibly lived at same time though Picard may still not be wearing pants. Sarek was almost 200 when he died.
I see some pretty obvious parallels between Jean-Luc Picard/T'Pol, and Romulans/humans.
I personally have no problem with DB working T'Pol into the Mega. However, remember that February does not start until the next week. T'Pol may not be part of the Mega any way.
There are only four Thursdays in February so, unless they are changing their calendar for Megas, she will definitely be event crew for the first part of the Mega.
That week off thing keep messing with me.
Thanx.
So First Officer Raffi Musiker as the recurring together with T'pol, Chakotay, Riker and Kira mixed into a few of the Picard series cards.
Its a shame due to the timing. By the time the April Mega rolls by, Picard season 1 would have finished airing. Would have been nice to have a mega running with the series.
What I suspect is more likely is a caregiver/romantic mega in Feb. T'pol was Archer's caregiver/wife? The caregiver trait also has a good number of cards without being overloaded (11x 4* and 9x 5*) so would be a good recurring trait throughout the mega instead of romantic which has 40x 4* alone (didnt bother counting the 5*s)
She started out feeling she owed him for saving her in the corridor. It was obvious that by the time of the colony, it was more, so "Romantic" would work. She even told he Vulcan Ambassador guy who name I can never remember she would not go back to Vulcan if Jonathan could not go.......
As Picard is new they would likely have to tie it to something else.
The first Discovery mega was Discovery crew. People started with minimal crew and then the pool expanded with each weeks new crew. The was before the era of enormous mega bonus crew we've had recently, but it's possible DB is trying to reduce the number of bonus crew and taking a similar approach.
I think robownage has a very interesting idea there, but I think it could be taken further.
(Spoiler below for the first episode of Picard, although not a huge plot spoiler or anything, so it won't ruin the show for you if you haven't seen it yet.
She tends to Jean-Luc in a similar way that T'Pol tended to Jonathan in that episode, so perhaps a theme built around that notion somehow? It's a bit of a stretch, but I thought it worth commenting on. 🖖
Could you please continue the petty bickering? I find it most intriguing.

Caregiver could be a very good option, actually. Current state, 24 characters have that trait. Add in all Picard variants and you have a pretty sizable pool.
