What Star Trek 11 should be...

[captainhomer]

Star Trek XI: The Search for Data<br /><br />I think it's a crime for them to end the TNG generation with Nemesis and Data's death. They deserve a kick-ass movie to end on.<br /><br />How's this... E couldnt beam back Data when he was shooting the scimitar's core, but what we didnt see was one of those disabled Romulan ships beaming him back. Comm down, they couldn't tell E and when rescued, anti-Fed romulans messed around with data's brain and such. And so pro-Fed romulans learn of this, tell Fed, huge adventure ignites. <br /><br />So much better than a prequel.

You know, that scene has always troubled me, too.<br /><br />Yes, Data was near the heart of the explosion. But they don't seem to have seriously investigated the possibility that his head -- and therefore, his positronic brain, and therefore his very being -- might have survived the explosion.<br /><br />Data's disembodied head could still be floating through space out there somewhere. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <font color="#0000ff"><strong>Just tell the truth and let the chips fall...</strong></font> </div>

I might have scotched the name. The reference was intended to invoke some early nuclear tests that (at the time) mysteriously failed to incinerate some nearby test articles.<br /><br /><br />(or was it the chambered nuke squelch thingy?)<br /><br />{Hell, it's late, I'm old, I'm tired, and I just don't remember . . . . .}<br /><br /><br /><br /><img src="/images/icons/laugh.gif" /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#ff0000"><strong>TPTB went to Dallas and all I got was Plucked !!</strong></font></p><p><font color="#339966"><strong>So many people, so few recipes !!</strong></font></p><p><font color="#0000ff"><strong>Let's clean up this stinkhole !!</strong></font> </p> </div>

My idea for Star Trek XI: NOTE -- Although Star Trek and it's associated properties are a copyright trademark of Paramount Pictures, this poster 'mattblack' asserts the moral right to be identified with this story idea.<br /><br />With this movie, I'd recommend a 2.5 hour 'epic' Star Trek movie that would tie together 'loose ends' of 3 seperate franchises and possibly set up another for a movie franchise or TV series.<br /><br />**Expand on the new alliance with the Romulan Empire, formed during the Dominion War and firmed up after the death of Shinzon in 'Nemesis'. This could be partly a story of Captain Riker and the 'Titan' co-investigating with Commander Donatra's squadron a suspected Borg incursion at the frontiers of Romulan space. They, of course, get into trouble and have a "Run Silent, Run Deep" encounter with a Borg Cube in a dangerous area of space that borders the "Badlands" area near Cardassia & DS9. (Cue decent cameos from Colonel Kira & Captain Sisko: Sisko contacted when Kira & Ezri Dax go into the Wormhole and beg a 'ghostly' Sisko to return and use the power of the 'Prophets' to attack the Borg, who want to use the wormhole to invade the Gamma Quadrant. Major Cameo from Kate Mulgrew as Admiral Janeway -- she dispenses advice and Starfleet resources to help counter the coming Borg threat.<br /><br />Major Subplot: Picard and the Enterprise, carrying Ambassador Spock, journey to Romulus to set up major diplomatic mission and form a joint Starfleet/Romulan Alpha Quadrant border security force that will protect Beta Quadrant-facing border. Chancellor Martok is also there, ruffling Romulan & Federation feathers and insisting that Kronos supervise the Alpha/Delta Quadrant borders. All this setup is for a BIG finale....<br /><br />There should also be scenes of Spock presiding over a healing of long-lost, severed family ties as an important Vulcan family meets the Romulan descendents of their shared tribe that was split up during the great Vulcan <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p> </p><p>One Percent of Federal Funding For Space: America <strong><em><u>CAN</u></em></strong> Afford it!!  LEO is a <strong><em>Prison</em></strong> -- It's time for a <em><strong>JAILBREAK</strong></em>!!</p> </div>

Sometimes at the end of the week, I feel like it's <i>my</i> head that's floating disembodied through space.<br /><br />For whatever it's worth, Google pointed me toward the all-pervasive Wikipedia -- which has a lengthy article on Mr. Allen (although no mention of whether he's managed to hang onto his balls). <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <font color="#0000ff"><strong>Just tell the truth and let the chips fall...</strong></font> </div>

As most of you remember, there was an episode of TNG that involved the Enterprise-C, and it's having passed through time into the TNG's day and age, changing history in the process, because it failed to commit honorable suicide in saving some Klingons.<br /><br />Well, clearly there was an entire timeline involving the Enterprise-C <i>before</i> this time-travel event occurred.<br /><br />Think on this: it is the political, scientific and timeline successor to TOS (and the TOS movies), but not the prowess and sophistication of TNG.<br /><br />There hasn't been a hell of a lot written about this era, and with the right plots and characters, it might just work. It's still somewhat gritty, and technology still hasn't become the panacea for all problems.<br /><br />And when this series ends, it will be the TNG episode when it travels through time, failing to save the Klingons... <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><em>Differential Diagnosis:  </em>"<strong><em>I am both amused and annoyed that you think I should be less stubborn than you are</em></strong>."<br /> </p> </div>

Just figured id pop in here to mention the continuation of TOS. www.newvoyages.com this is about as good as it gets for peeps hooked on TOS still..<br /><br />I think Trek 11 sould definitly be somthing forward to tie things up.

>>I would note, however, that when one deals with corporate lawyers, "moral rights" plus $2 generally will get you one decent-sized cup of Starbucks coffee -- and not much else.<<<br /><br />Yeah, I know. But after everything that Star Trek has given me, I feel I could give something back, even at a rock-bottom writer's guild price. Perhaps I should join the writers guild!! I submitted Star Trek screenplays and novel ideas, years ago and was rebuffed, as most people are. The thing that bugs me: the TNG episodes "Relics" and "The Wounded" bear uncanny resemblances to old story submissions of mine in the early '90s; down to the names of the characters and the starships involved!! <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p> </p><p>One Percent of Federal Funding For Space: America <strong><em><u>CAN</u></em></strong> Afford it!!  LEO is a <strong><em>Prison</em></strong> -- It's time for a <em><strong>JAILBREAK</strong></em>!!</p> </div>

with an infinity of alternate universes, bleah bleah bleah, anything is possible, even an Earth where Start Trek TOS continues to produce new episodes in 2006. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p>http://asteroid-invasion.blogspot.com</p><p>http://www.solvengineer.com/asteroid-invasion.html </p><p> </p> </div>

Just to add to my story, they eventually rescue Data with the help of the pro-Fed Romulans. They clean him up, and he gets promoted to Commander for his defeating the scimitar. Then EVERYONE from the TNG/DS9/VOY time period comes home to see the huge ceremony of Picard finally being promoted to Admiral. Now, two different endings could happen here. One: Picard is still in command of E with Data as his XO. Or Two: Picard accepts a desk job, says screw commander and promotes Data to Captain, gives him the E, Jordi is his XO and full LT wess crusher is chief engineer.

OK, but Wes Crusher left Star Fleet and ran off with that Traveler guy... <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <font color="#ff0000"><u><em>Don't let your sig line incite a gay thread ;>)</em></u></font> </div>

 

[spacefire]

if Wes was still a minor at that time, the traveller guy is imprisoned as a sex offender and Crusher is returned home. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p>http://asteroid-invasion.blogspot.com</p><p>http://www.solvengineer.com/asteroid-invasion.html </p><p> </p> </div>

That's a killer idea, Yevaud.

"Yes, Data was near the heart of the explosion. But they don't seem to have seriously investigated the possibility that his head -- and therefore, his positronic brain, and therefore his very being -- might have survived the explosion. "<br /><br />The nice thing about a robot is that somewhere there could very plausibly be a back-up copy.<br />

He was seen as Lt. Jr grade in star fleet attire in Nemesis I believe.
