I’m fascinated by the Phase II story and what it could have become. So imagining for a moment that it did go to series and went a full 7 years what would the character arc’s have been?
Would new characters Ilia & Xon survive to the series finale? Spock.. back eventually? Would we see Mudd and the Doctors Lazarus again?
I love TMP but so badly wanted to see this. Though in an alternate universe I’m probably wondering why they didn’t do a completely different show set in the 24th century.
In Trek 2, Kirk says that the Enterprise was "the only ship in the quadrant". So where was the fleet? ** Wrong answers only! **
In The Motion Picture V'ger was "within Klingon boundaries" at the start which is pretty far from Earth, aren't the Klingons over near the Beta Q? There's a rush on to get the Enterprise launched but I've never understood why. I mean, I get it's to get the story moving but in-universe have I missed something?
Landru, Nomad, K5, Vger... It's the pattern of a bot hating madman. Likely 60s paranoia in the writing over thinking machines but I'm hoping for something quirkier in universe. Just a quick throwaway nod. Like one is caught flirting with Carol Marcus or something.
Wondering what O'Brien calls other Trek races in the vein of his Cardassian slur?
Klingons - Bloody Kling'ns
Andorians - Bloody Andies
Species 8472 - Bloody Numbers
I've resigned myself to never knowing what happened to the parasite race from tng's "Conspiracy". Or Will Decker. Or the Lazarus'. Or the Organians. I mean, THE ORGANIANS for q'sake. If anyone knows of any media where any lost plot threads were followed up - yell. An old dog eared novel somewhere would make my day.
Given how divided the Star Trek fanbase can be and given the pace at which AI video is advancing I wonder how far we’re away from seeing Trek made-to-order.
You want a film with the 60s crew facing the Borg - here you go. You want a new show about Picard’s entire life of The Inner Light, that’ll be 20 bucks. Robotic rights. Edo found footage. Nothing but animated starships pew-pew’ing, ready before the popcorn sir.
Maybe not this decade. But it's coming right? After all, Trek's new Talosian Oracle overlords do have servers to feed..
