I prefer this idea: Each Startrek Show is our retelling of a "real" Startrek ship/station made with our available (TV) technology. (Oh, and all the continuity errors, inconsistencies and bad science - it's just because we didn't understand the real thing, and if we were to revisit - reiminage - the stories, we would fix that.) <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> The real Enterprise bridges might have looked even more different.I think even the Kazon can work, or the Vidians (sp - you know, the guys with the disease). And the Borg, too - just make any victories against them rarer, harder to achieve, and more bitter. My favorite idea is to use the basic idea in the title of "The Year of Hell" and make it a borg episode/multi-parter/season. The Voyager enters a space where the Borgs begin their attacks - and they try to help their allies. The Voyager is badly mangled in the process, crew members split off, questionable alliances are forged, the Borg even assimilate entire planets with the Voyager Crew watching. At the end, the Borg are still defeated, but the cost were horrendous. Though I dare say that I am fine with the Voyager coming out a litte "improved" - but people died, ideals were betrayed, relationships broke, and entire populations have been killed off - by the Borg, in the name of science, by failures, for victory...). The "high note" would probably be that the Borg are defeated and that the survivors have found a new appreciation and might found their Federation equivalent... It is jarring either way. Either it looks ridiculously dated or it just doesn't fit the established continuity.</blockquote>
