The Future of Star Trek (revealed)...

[Ranger REG]

Huh, go figure.

That's the same reaction of Dr. Who.

Has it been explained what happened to the Klingons that changed them from how they looked in the original series to looking like they do now? I think that would make a good story and I really want to know. Well, since on Enterprise they look like they do after the change, I suppose I want to know what happened to change them and change them back.

I like the Captains Log idea.
There is a way around Starfleet, by the way - there seem to be some federation citizen with their own starships, that use to trade. Something along the linkes of Startrek Firefly, maybe.
Okay, must of us begin to hate all the time travel stuff, but maybe they should use it as the groundings for a new series: Startrek, the 27th Century. The Federation has acquired reliable time travel technology, and now historians and similar people are visiting the past - a visit to Kahless, the Emperor (and what the hell does the Romulan Assassin do here, several centuries before Romulans and Klingons ever came into contact? We must find and stop him before he changes the timeline!), Surak, the Founder of the Vulcan Philosophy and so on...

Or maybe we have to work on a lower scale, with the occassional visits to important points in the past - Startrek - Quantum Leap.

Improvements in TV makeup and a higher budget. For the in-continuity explanation, Worf gave the official word in the Tribbles crossover episode: "We do not speak of it."

Love this idea! just get rid of the 'Star Trek' rider

The only drawback to this I can see is that the technobabble content would reach critical mass, implode in on itself and render all Star Trek writers mute and sterile.


Hmmmm, maybe it's not such a bad idea afterall.

Besides, if something went wrong, they wouldn't be able to bring in Geordie to reroute the polar conduits or reverse the metric stabilizers.

How about this?

Q teaching his son about the universe! It could be a series like Amazing Stories, or the Twilight Zone. Narrated by Q, telling his kid about all the lower life forms and their histories.

While funny, that could only be a one shot episode for the show. Still I do think John Delancie is funny as all hell...

 

[Hand of Evil]

Here is an idea!

Star Trek: The Adventures of the Young Harkan Mudd

 

[Asmo]

I want to know what happened to Harry Kim. And Chakotay. I miss Voyager.
Really.

They'd need to get a young Ricardo Montalban lookalike, though...

I now have the horrible image of Paramount using Ricky Martin for a young Kahn Noonian Singh.
