Missed Opportunities That Need Rectified...

[DarKush]

Things I would like to see:
-The return of Sisko & catching up with the DS9 crew/cast.
-The ultimate fate of Tom Riker.
-Finding out what happened with Sela, Donatra, Ro, Pulaski, Jellico, Nechayev, and Shelby.
-Bringing back DaiMon Bok. He was a very good personal enemy for Picard.
-Having Uhura, Saavik, Sulu, or Chekov on TNG, DS9, or VOY in the 24th century.
-Revisiting Harriman, Demora Sulu, and the Enterprise-B.
-Making Xon canon.
-Adapting "Kitumba" script for a canon series (perhaps can happen for Strange New Worlds).
-Seeing the Tzenkethi in live action (I like the Star Trek Online take on them).
-Making the Hunters a definite part of the Dominion, but also having the Son'a as part of the Dominion on DS9. Wish we had gotten to see those starships in the Dominion War scenes.
-A return of the "Conspiracy" aliens.
-A Cardassian War flashback episode on DS9 or VOY.
-The Earth-Romulan War.
-Doing more with the Vaadwaur on VOY.
-Doing more with the xBs on PIC. (It might still happen, but I got my doubts).
-Wish Enterprise got a fifth season. (I liked some of the ideas I heard they were going to take the series).
-Sybok on DISCO Season 2. (Still think it was a mistake not to have him on that year).

What ever happened to the race of beings on Devidia II? We call them the "Devidians" however we're never told they are originally from that planet... nor are we told if the photon torpedos that are detonated kills them all. Are there others in the universe? Is this the only group that found that human energy could be sustaining? Was that one cavern the only place where they existed on that planet??

I would like to see a follow up of the people in "BLINK OF AN EYE" on DISCOVERY.

Imagine how advanced they became by the time Voyager got home, let alone 800 of our years later.

I wouldn’t like a cast reunion as I don’t think it’s practical (and maybe not that interesting) but I’d love to see Scott Bakula or Jolene Blalock make a cameo in SNW as Deforest Kelley did in Encounter at Farpoint.

They probably became non-corporeal.

Star Trek has tried to approach the AI question in several episodes... Between Evolution (Season 3) and The Quality of Life (Season 6) there are several different groups of self-aware mechanical beings that are recognized however their futures are never discussed once the bottle-episode is completed. What happened to each of those communities? Did they stay in the "guardianship" of the Federation? Did they strike out on their own? Did they continue to develop unconstrained? Did any of those evolutionary steps make it into the Federation future starship design (obviously not)?

Voyager's 'Prototype' is one of my favourite AI episodes.

The whale biologist shows up in a comic, the "financial guy" shows up in a novel in which he has become the Federation ambassador to the Ferengi Alliance.

The homemaker is a counsellor for temporal displaced people in the DTI novels

Well, they had a little bit of an impact elsewhere in the franchise recently. Nothing major.

Unless you're a fan of the novels, in which case. yeah, that was a bit significant.

My bad there... didn't consider the written canon...

Basically what we're referring to is that

Spoiler: Coda novel trilogy

the Devidians are responsible for eliminating the alternate timeline the novels "Litverse" continuity took place in.

I’ll never understand why the novelverse needed to be undone? It could’ve just been one of many realities.

My current theory is that knowing Star Trek fans don't get subtlety, they wanted to send a definitive message that the Litverse continuity was done with no room for interpretation. Could also have been a desire to preempt any petitions to bring back the Litverse, like how Star Wars fans have their "bring back Legends" crowd ever since their EU was abandoned.

OK interesting plot, I'll definitely buy the series but I'll miss the litverse

I'd be surprised if Avery Brooks didn't object to this on the basis of there being a stereotype that black fathers abandon their children.

I remember reading an interview with Avery Brooks where he said he was, in fact, disappointed in the ending of DS9 for that very reason. He'd taken on the role of Sisko in part because he wanted to show an African-American man being a good dad, to counter the stereotype of getting a woman pregnant and then abandoning her... and then, in DS9's final arc, Sisko gets a woman pregnant and then abandons her. So, yes, following up on him and Kasidy would have been nice.

Or at least not making her pregnant?

Didn't Avery talk with Behr about it and it was refilmed or rewritten to have Sisko say he will be back, "Maybe in a year or maybe yesterday."?

 

[Kor]

Was the Gorgan really the last of his kind? Were there more of those ancient space marauders out there, trapped in caves and waiting to be summoned and try to conquer the universe? I recall one of the novels went into his background, but I'm not sure how closely it lined up with Spock's vague lines about marauders based at Triacus, and them making war specifically in the Epsilon Indi system.

And how did Kirk know the Gorgan's name, when it was never mentioned by anyone else in the episode?

That sounds familiar. (It was a few years back that I read the interview, and I wasn't able to find it anymore searching online.)
