So, the little story behind this story is, what would the senior crew wish for in terms of New Year's Resolutions. I guess I'm allowed to speculate, because I just love this show and want to see my favorite "Magnificent Starship Nine" get the most out of the new year. Maybe I'll think of a few myself along the way.

DISCLAIMER: Paramount/Viacom, yeah, you are God. So, why bother with someone like me, who stands nothing gain monetary wise, except getting my ideas out and about.

News Years Resolutions.

3. Continue making sure Seven is integrated successfully into this collective.

4. Find a hairstyle that doesn't give me headaches nor gets badly mussed in the heat of battle.
