Ngl if they actually did that they'd probably get a lot of viewers. 7 of 9 carried Voyager's entire marketing campaign on her back for years.

At the end of every episode, there's a medal award ceremony for the key characters who did something noteworthy. Kind of like at the end of Star Wars. But it happens during the credits so it doesn't take up normal episode time.

I know that this is the "no negativity" thread, but it's also the "no negativity regarding Star Trek" thread, so I'm within my rights to say how I'm constantly baffled by how stupid and constantly existing-justifying the concept of NCIS is in general. I know it's fictional but are there really that many crimes that happen within or to the US Navy that it needs not just one but at least three whole specialized teams in three separate US cities to investigate them? Like isn't this just an excuse for them to be Super Cops? Do they even remember they're supposed to be a part of the Navy anymore? It's loving weird man.

The vast majority of cop shows suffer from a problem of "a case opens on Monday and is solved by Friday," which is somewhat necessitated by the structural constraints of keeping things episodic but creates the sense that there's 5000 active serial killers in the US and such. True Detective and Twin Peaks are deliberately surreal shows that manage to have a pacing that makes more sense of taking a very, very long time to solve a complicated case. I don't think True Detective: Starfleet would work super well, but I do think that True Detective: Cardassia, True Detective: Ferenginar, and True Detective: Qo'nos are all great ideas. A cop show where some Ferengi spend an entire season investigating a complicated financial conspiracy would be particularly fun.

A few DREAMTREKs I have are the whole Captain Nog idea that's been floating around tumblr. Another would be a Lwaxana episode of Lower Decks. She's probably buddies with Mariner like that Klingon General, and maybe finally gets Rutherford to ask Tendi out. I would also accept a T'Pol cameo on Strange New Worlds, since she could reasonably live long enough to appear in the Those Old Scientists era. Maybe she could be an admiral or something. Give Blalock some good material to work with.

Old Lady T'Pol turning up using thee and thou language would be amazing.

Can't believe I didn't think to post this one here already since I've posted it previously in other threads, but I'd also love a miniseries set on the last Constitution-class ship in service. What used to be the pride of the fleet is now worn down and badly in need of an overhaul but the captain and the chief engineer both know that if she needs anything more substantive than a self-sealing stem bolt, Starfleet will instantly decommission her, so they bust their asses and haggle and hustle whatever parts they need to keep the ship running. The miniseries doesn't end with the ship getting trashed in a firefight, but she does get to save the day one last time before they get the call: she's being decommissioned. As she approaches spacedock, the newly-commissioned USS Ambassador passes by and renders honors one last time to the grand old lady of the fleet. "hey wait, didn't they say in TNG the class had been retired long before Ambassador came online?" whatever, it's my dreamtrek and i say there was at least one that lingered on into the 24th century "wait hold on are you just looking for celebrations of old Trek designs" ...dude shut up Timby posted:So ... the BSG remake?

Am I the only person who would be interested in seeing what happened to the Dominion after the war, like a breakaway group of Jem'Hadar wanted to join the Federation or something? There was always the running theme in DS9 that the Founders and Vorta did not deserve the service of the Jem'Hadar (and I'm still mad at O'Brien for destroying that Ketracel White cure) and that would be a cool idea for a show. Then again, I thought the Remans looked cool, so I might be nuts.

The last good Storyline of Star Trek Online involves the Dominion quite a bit, and is regarded as extremely good. Especially compared with the Discovery garbage that came afterwards. (It's Garbage independent of the show itself. It's dumb. Really really really dumb)

The episode starts with a montage of a Klingon going through his early life, schooling, graduation, and entrance into his medical research group, with stardates approximately 30 years before the setting of the show. We establish in this that he, like all Klingons, views his calling in the lens of "warriorhood" providing a nice little flavor of how the culture expresses itself in civilian roles. The episode proper then begins with the current star date, where the crew is deployed to the retirement ceremony of the now decorated doctor and head researcher. He is now retiring as in the past year he and his team have finished isolating and creating a treatment for a rare Klingon genetic condition which affects a vanishingly small % of klingon, albeit obviously in an empire with hundreds of trillions of people is still hundreds of thousands. The crew are there to be security for an ambassador paying a visit, but have also been told they are to make contact with an unknown mole at the party who will give them the treatment schematics so they can be used in Federation space as well. Numerous Klingon attend of all strata, including a klingon inspector and the crew balances meeting and better grasping the culture with trying to identify who it is they are supposed to meet. At the end of this portion of the episode they go to leave the party only to realize that the mole is the head researcher themself, who gives them his life's work freely. The end of the episode is months later where the inspector confronts the scientist, revealing he now knows that the scientist was the mole. The scientist states that he swore a vow to fight that disease, even if carried him beyond the borders of the klingon empire, and that he has no regrets and is ready to die. Instead of being killed the Inspector reveals his own oath was to make the Klingon strong. The scientist will be formally exiled from the Klingon Empire to one of their break-away fiefdoms that is slowly falling back into their orbit. The Klingon Empire will gain favor with this group, the inspector ensures that a traitor is punished, and the scientist gets to spend the rest of his days fighting the enemy he vowed to defeat all those years ago so he can die a warrior.

I want seasonal show with different casts. They build a big ship with everything maintain a society. Their ship has some new  warp drive that's a 1000 times faster than maximum warp. Or whatever.Quantum slipstream seems to be the warp 9.9999. So let's go with that (according to the technical manual). So it can traverse the galaxy in 6 months, like the voyager episode. It also says it would be 10 years to Andromeda. So each season would be some new crewman solving some space anamoly problem. Or the cliffhanger: main drive fails, and they have to use regular warp. They wander for a while and finally fix it. But then, a weird alien station in the void. Blah blah, weird poo poo along the way. Each season has a new season with a new problem. I'm sure I could write a lovely fanfic, but I have to work for a living.

Star Trek: New Frontier It's a good premise, and a wagon-train to the stars has been done before and can be done again to great success. I would be sad if it became another disaster-porn series where the ship and crew just lurch from one crisis to another, instead of reaching to recapture that "wonder of discovery" feel that early TNG and TOS had. Or just working through a problem that isn't existentially threatening to the mission and home base, but perhaps is threatening to an away team, or some amazing potential discovery that must be solved in the face of a ticking clock of some kind. And for GOD's sake embrace the comraderie of the TNG crew. The main characters were friends who played cards together, loved one another, and their conflicts were about how their different perspectives could solve the problem in front of them and NOT sniping or undermining each other. It could be like Voyager, but with exploring the unknown with intention instead of by accident which I bet would change the entire dynamic of the exploration, attitude towards alien contact, how anomalies and new technologies are approached, etc. For all his faults, Roddenberry's hyper-optimistic attitude towards the future and exploration is very nice to experience.

My dream is simply that Voyager is still on air, still working it's way back to federation space. Tuvik is there, but so is Neelix and Tuvok, they're all good friends. Holy poo poo, THE Dr. King telling you how important it is for you to remain on Star Trek. That's a really great story.

The episode opens with a briefing on the situation. A world inhabited by the Aldari, a no-space travel Prime Directive do-not touch civilization. Federation brass has nominated the planet, however, for further investigation and with the science vessel originally assigned to the world temporarily re-assigned to bolster the border with a minor faction, it falls on the crew of our show to do the task of further investigation. The crew has a quick discussion of the Prime Directive, where they are reminded by the Captain that any concerns about their violation that it applies to Starfleet personnel acting on their own so they don't take advantage of a world, and the Federation has approved this request. On arriving on the world, the crew impersonates travelers of the culture who gather knowledge, although they don't have an excellent grasp for why such a group exists in Aldari society. As the episode progresses, the crew learns that the Aldari do not suffer from disease, as there are no microbes on the planet harmful to them. In addition, due to the sprawling forest that covers much of the planet and the thick aspiration it releases, temperature and conditions on the planet are perpetually idyllic. Further, due to the position of the planet and atmosphere, there are no visible stars in the sky and the suns rays diffuse so celestial bodies and the idea of leaving the planet is not just not a desire of the Aldari, its unfathomable. As the episode progresses, the crew learns that the Aldari believe that when they die, they become one with the forest, and the memories pass on to the woods, which is why these itinerant wanderers they are pretending to be exist. With more discussion, they learn the "proof" of this is that world wide the flowers on the trees used to only bloom white, but in certain areas have started blooming red. With some prodding this has been a source of great debate among the Aldari, with most agreeing it is a great argument raging between the older trees in white and the newer in red. This reaches a mild culmination when a young Aldari says they hopes someday they can add blue to the flowers to the forest and elder shushing him saying that the red should go away and no other color should be added. The crew leaves the planet and completes their report. The final scene is weeks later in a debrief, with the captain. The Captain confirms that due to their report the Federation has approved immediate intervention into the planet to secure its safety. The crew objects; why should a world with no safety concerns, plenty of food, no disease, and no interest in space travel be forced to be contacted? The Captain reads from the official reasoning "long-term low-level civil war conflict and repression of minority groups requires immediate Federation intervention to prevent bloodshed" and notes the science team reported a considerable presence of dilithium crystals in uninhabited regions of the planet. The Captain pauses for a moment and reminds them, the Prime Directive is only to stop Starfleet Personnel acting on their own to take advantage of a world.

Okay, back in the day I had an outline in a high school notebook tying DS9, Voyager and the TNG movies together. Ground floor is that the Dominion wins the war and conquers the Alpha Quadrant. DS9 ends with the Defiant going on the run to wage a guerrilla war. Linking up with the Enterprise (you see the ship, but not the crew, obviously). Cue Voyager getting a transmission, "the Federation has fallen, secure any technology you can that would help you restore the Federation once you get back. The Prime Directive is rescinded". Voyager deals with the fallout of that decision and its new mission. Voyager wraps up by getting home, setting the stage for a movie featuring the liberation of Earth and the first steps of the restoration of the Federation. Setting up a new series, not focused on fighting the Dominion, but the political fallout of them being driven back to the Gamma Quadrant. Trying to restore the Federation being one aspect. What's left of the Klingon Empire as they basically forced the Dominion to fight a war of extermination against them. The Romulans being left as the biggest kid on the block, but exhausted and depleted from the war. The Cardassians being pariahs and the Ferengi suddenly a serious military and political force in the Quadrant.
