Voyager returns home, Janeway shows remorse for her actions in the Delta Quadrant, Tuvok reunites with his family on Vulcan, & Kim watches Libby get married to someone else.
Before starting his new assignment as ops officer on a Federation garbage scow, since after seven years as an ensign his career is irretrievably ruined. If we're going to crap on Harry, let's go big. More on him later, though...
Data breaks the warp 10 barrier, and doesn’t turn into a salamander. He doesn't turn into anything at all.
A pocket calculator. And he gives birth to a couple of cute slide rules.
DS9 is destroyed over and over again by a late 23rd century space station that appears after a sudden temporal rift that strikes the station’s reactor core.
Too similar to "Visionary". And no poker scene.
Picard runs the historical programs of the NX era for the first time and realizes that the programs are wildly inaccurate from the history books. He then has them deleted from the database, lectures the La Sirena crew about them and has a chat with Riker and Troi about the program over pizza. Facepalms and double facepalms ensue.
Anything to eliminate that abomination from "Enterprise". They could still slip Jonathan Frakes in, just stick him into another episode as Riker's great great grandfather.
Moriarty finds a way to contact the Enterprise crew for help from inside his portable holodeck thingy and enlist their help and I get the joy of seeing a casino heist masterminded by Riker and Picard.
While I liked it as a DS9 episode, I agree that it would have been cool here too. Or on Voyager, for that matter. Maybe every Trek should do a crime caper show...
Here's a thought... give "Favorite Son" to DS9. Because they're not scared of shaking things up and letting dust gather on the Reset Button, Harry actually IS an alien, and we spend the next four seasons watching him deal with an identity crisis, discover his new abilities, make peace with his alien-ness when said new abilities help him paste the Jem'Hadar, suffer assorted indignities, be a hero, fall in love a few times, marry the last person he falls for in a Bajoran ceremony preduded over by the Emissary, and give that lonely little gold pip on his collar a friend or two. Because as Bob Ross reminds us, everybody needs a friend.
