Classic Star Trek Characters We Want To See In Season 2 Of Strange New Worlds

A fabled Starfleet flag officer, Commodore Matt Decker commands the USS Constellation in the 1967 "Original Series" episode "The Doomsday Machine." In that story, his ship is lost following an attack from an entity called the Planet Killer, leaving him the only survivor. Brought aboard the Enterprise, Decker is driven mad with grief over the loss of his ship and crew. He eventually steals a shuttlecraft and sacrifices himself to destroy the creature before it can reach a densely populated sector of space. 

Decades later, in an episode of "Star Trek: Discovery," Decker is noted as one of Starfleet's most decorated captains alongside Robert April, Jonathan Archer, and Christopher Pike. It would be interesting to see more of why Decker is considered such a venerated commander via a return in "Strange New Worlds" Season 2. An episode centered on Decker in his prime, in command of the USS Constellation, would add new dimension and background to his time before "The Original Series." And by giving Trekkies an on-screen portrayal of Decker at his best, it could even help deepen the tragedy seen in "The Doomsday Machine."

Additionally, we wouldn't mind a mention of his son Will Decker, who appears in "Star Trek: The Motion Picture."
