I am still holding out future hope for 5* Chancellor Gowron and 4* Mirror Sisko. lol.

Those Enterprise crew may come in handy for some this month.
Now, September's theme...something useful in a Lower Decks mega or in kind, perhaps. How about two crew from TAS?

Maybe a combination TAS/Lower Decks mega? It could honor the overtly comedic nature of Lower Decks (and the occasionally goofy nature of TAS) and finally give us all that Lt. M’Ress we’ve been waiting for.
Is it too earlyto start on the next campaign? Still kinda bummed about the choice for this month's but at least they can offer some help in the mega.
Not many birthdays of main crew but some notable ones
Jeffrey Combs - Weyoun, Brunt, Shran among many others
Roxann Biggs-Dawson - Torres
Walter Koeig - Chekov
Rosalind Chao - Keiko
Lots of great choices for 5* - Weyoun Clone 5, Delta Flyer Torres, Pah-Wraith Keiko to name a few
Any other ideas?
I dont think a Picard series character has turned up in the campaigns yet. Maybe a new 5* (a-la Scrooge) to intro a new Picard 5* seeing as there arent many (I can only recall Picard and #1 which was the mega recurring)
Also would love to see a doctor or La Forge get a campaign of their own
Phlox and the EMH have both been in a Campaign. LaForge could be cool.
The Jeff Combs idea could be interesting. We are getting a new Shran this mega, but what about a Shran/Weyoun Campaign? Both have a 4* and a 5*, so either order could be done.

No, no Picard characters have been in a campaign yet. There are plenty of crew from the show that theoretically could be used (aside from 3* Nepenthe Riker) but they’re all so new I don’t know how likely that would be right now:

People fussed about this Campaign announcement, but as you say, both are Bonus all this Mega. A newer player who can clear Dailies and who got the Premium Track, should be able to get Tucker to at least 2 🌟 by the Faction Event. That might help. I know it is easy for people to see whether a Crew is useful to them, and lose track of whether the choice might help others, which is understandable.

Two of those names got new crew this mega. I think most would be happy with a Pah-wraith Keiko campaign. I really wouldn't mind actors' birthdays helping to decide new crew, or at least chances to acquire those characters. Might help spread out the love a little more.

I remember the Reverend Phlox campaign but no EMH campaign. I just hope it’s not another 2-skiller and at least someone I have 1/5.
18 campaigns in the books - let's review the 5* cards for quality/value/etc, shall we? (It's something else to do while we speculate about the 19th campaign). I'll just list them in order and offer my personal take on them via a 3-tier scale (weak, fine, great). Feel free to offer your own reviews. Spoilered for brevity.
Covert Operative Leland - fine. Solid card at that time, set the tone for this new game feature. Captain Spock - great. Yes, his stats were less-than-hoped-for by his fans, but he's still a solid contributor for me. Mirror Jean-Luc Picard - fine. Gunshow would probably rate as "great" for anyone not around for Picard-gate. High Roller Sisko - great. (Do we need any discussion here? No.) Commander Troi - weak. The first real bump in the road. She's ok-ish, but a clear step down in stats and age-of-card from the preceding group. Professor Sato - great. (See: Sisko, High Roller.) Protomorphosis Barclay - fine. While ugly, he was/is a great card for voyages. Gloria - weak. Certainly has some game utility (gauntlet, voyages) because of MED & traits, but not really a card anyone was clamoring for. Scrooge Data - great. A new 5*, main cast, strong stats - what's not to like? Queen Po - fine. Some probably would rate her as great, and that's ok too. EV Suit Seven of Nine - weak. Disagree if you want, but she's a step down from the top SCI gauntleteers, and she is yet another weak-base version of Seven. Age of Sail Data - great. Strong bases, voyages, collection value, and a fan favorite? Check. Reverend Phlox - great. Suddenly a lot more players have a shot at hitting those troublesome 10hr CMD-MED voyages. Admiral Maxwell Forrest - fine. A gut-punch for me since I airlocked him after his event, but he's a solid card. The Bashirs - fine. Got a bit of a negative reaction at the time, but they're solid enough to me. Lenara Kahn - weak. I like her 'cause I like 2-skill day shuttlers, but objectively she's just ok, and she's the first 2-skill card in the campaigns (but not the last, sadly). Doctor Chaotica - weak. In the early days, this guy ruled the gauntlet. But we're not in the early days anymore, are we? Another 2-skiller as well. Tourist Tucker - fine. Yet another 2-skiller. I understand why many will say "weak", but it turns out that FF'd he's my 2nd best DIP base (behind FF Sato and ahead of 2/5 Sato). Top-end DIP is the weakest spot on my roster though, so maybe I'm alone on this one.
There are a lot of monstrous Legendaries they could use for Halloween: Dereth, Sulan, Protomorphosis Worf, Species 8462, Ripper, Xindi Insectoid Councilor, and Loque'eque Sato. Super Rares don't have as many options, maybe Protomorphosis Riker or the Gorn Captain?
With the exception of Dereth and the Xindi Insectoid, the legendary options aren't stellar, but they tend to have their niche. That does seem to match the recent legendary options.
I could also see a pairing like Yarnek and the Tholian Prisoner as the sit on the edge of "monster" and "alien."

I think you are being too generous.

You sure we won't get Captain Scott? Or is main cast with 1 skill an improvement over what we've been getting?
