Star Trek: Deleted Scenes You Wish Existed

[Discofan]

What if her vanishing caused her followers to blame the US Government leading to anarchy and civil war?

Spock: We're gonna have to take her back and throw her in front of a car.
Kirk: I'll take care of it.

I think it was quite obvious that when she died she was a nobody. Her death was only glossed over in the article. Had she vanished (unless it was in front of somebody but the same could be said for the others) people wouldn't have fretted over it because, a lot of people disappear every day and nobody cares, especially in the middle of the chaos of the pre-wwII economic crisis. So I still think that taking Edith to the future was the way to go after all Gillian Taylor did just that and the federation didn't disappear as a result.

They probably didn't have the option. They were playing by the Guardian's rules.

That's possible and the Guardian appeared to be somewhat limited. Maybe it really was the only solution, however, once Kirk learned how to go back in time at will, maybe he could have remembered Edith then... I realize that asking Kirk to remember any detail from another episode is a near impossibility, After all, he even forgot that he had a brother.

The Guardian never stated that you can't bring someone from the past into the future.

If that were the case, Ann Crispin's novels (Yesterday's Son and its sequel) couldn't have been written.

(for those who haven't read them, Spock discovers that Zarabeth was pregnant when he and McCoy returned to the Library, and decides to go back to Beta Niobe's past and rescue her and their son)

Logically, Kirk could travel back at any time, and probably beam away Edith (as soon as 2267 Kirk leaves after witnessing her death), and then use super-science to fix her truck-caused injuries.

Definitely, given that about a century before Phlox was able to fix Bethany (North Star) after someone shot a bullet in her abdomen and as she said herself, he didn't even leave a scar.

 

[flandry84]

Chakotay in his newly replicated Starfleet uniform enters Janeways ready room for the first time..
Janeway: “You and your Maquis are my bitches now!”

 

[Discofan]

"Homestead"

TUVOK: ...Skills that would serve you well if you ever decided to assume a leadership role.
NEELIX: You really think so?
TUVOK: Let me be clear. I'm not urging you to do anything. I'm simply telling you that I believe that you are more than capable.
...
Later

Tuvok: IT WORKED!! THAT ANNOYING TALAXIAN IS GONE!!! I AM FREE!!! AT LAST!!!!

A deleted scene that explains why the Xindi sacrificed the element of surprise by attacking earth with a small prototype device instead of waiting until the planet destroying finished model was complete.

There was a girl that went to high school with me, very book smart, but no common sense to speak of - I'm sure you've known the type. She didn't like the school, mainly the faculty, and decided that when she got on stage to accept her diploma, she was going to flip them all off. BUT, because of the way her mind worked, she decided that she needed to do it at graduation practice, too. She did, and then she wasn't allowed to participate in the actual graduation ceremony - they mailed her her diploma.

Because of Amy, I've never really found what the Xindi did with the prototype to be totally implausible.

FEDERATION BUREAU OF ECONOMICS: "Stop being such a cheap son of a bitch Kirk and write the woman a check already.

KIRK: That "woman" is my son! :under his breath: I understand the confusion though.

Edith arrives in the 23rd century and the following episode Kirk has forgotten her name.... so much for his great love.

Did you forget what Spock did at the end of the episode?

What did he do?

 

[USS Triumphant]

What did he do?

Never mind - I just looked it up, and I oopsied. Spock used a mind meld to make Kirk forget. That was the end of "Requiem for Methuselah", though. Don't know why I was remembering that scene at the end of COTEOF, instead. Probably because it still seems more appropriate there to me.

I'm surprised Tuvok managed to say that with a straight face.

Forgiving the Gillian thing, which was pretty dumb to do, it is tampering with the timeline, to interfere with a death, butterfly effect & all. It was a public death, & she frequently dealt with the public. Any one of the people she interacted with might have been affected by her death enough to alter the future, such that were it a simple disappearance, they might not have been stirred to do so

They should've beamed Gillian right back to the surface at some point before blasting off at the sun

 

[at Quark's]

Scene at the end of Threshold:

Chakotay: Now that we know how to travel at infinite speed and how to reverse the side effects, let's get home!

Janeway: Hold it right there commander. We never traveled at infinite velocity, Tom never mutated, I never got abducted, and most definitely I never had lizard babies with mr. Paris. It never happened. That's an order, commander!

 

[Discofan]

Flashback:

(Janeway is inside Tuvok's memory.)

Janeway: What's that door?

Tuvok: Don't open it, captain... that's my secret ro... too late!

Janeway: OMG Tuvok! I had no idea!

Tuvok: I hope I can count on you to not reveal it to anyone.

Janeway: I wish I could forget I ever saw that!

Tuvok: I think I can help... My mind to your m...

Janeway: I am ALREADY in your mind, you idiot!

In MIRROR, MIRROR
a Halkan (or anyone, even) actually voicing on-screen the "Halkan prediction of galactic revolt"

Did you forget what Spock did at the end of the episode?

Spock did nothing, that was not the episode where he erased Kirk's memory. Kirk met his 'one great love' every season.

Riker standing legs akimbo astride the ops console...
Data says “Um,Commander your fly is undone”.

And you are not wearing undergarments
