Things Lower Decks should bring back

That's been my headcanon.

 

Adam Scott's Unnamed Defiant Helmsman

Seriously, it would be a great deep cut and makes sense for the show:

• This Helmsman served on the Defiant (and presumably DS9) in 2373.
• We know Mariner was on DS9 sometime between 2372 and 2375. It's conceivable Mariner knows this guy.
• They like to cast comedians/comedic actors for guest roles.
• It would be a fun expansion for the canon, detailing a nameless character that we would otherwise forget if the actor hadn't gone on to do bigger things.
  

 

This would be terrific.

Honestly, I'm ready to see a younger Liam Shaw.

 

Things/people I would like to see:
-The forcefield belts from TAS
-Jarada & Tzenkethi (this would be a great place to bring them to life)
-Talarians
-Remans
-Brikar
-Son'a
-Saavik
-Phlox (was it ever established how long Denobulans live?)
-Pulaski
-The Doctor (VOY)
-Vash
-Younger Raffi and Rios
-Lower Deckers from TNG episode "Lower Decks"
-DaiMon Bok
-V'Ger
-Mudd or Cyrano Jones
-Chekov and more Sulu
-Demora Sulu
-John Harriman
-More 24th century Trek characters
-TOS/The Motion Picture/TOS movie era species
-New Frontier characters

 

The Red Angel. Seriously, it was so goofy, there's gotta be SOMETHING they can do with it.

 

Ah, a fellow member of Team Dipshit!

 

I'm still waiting for my membership card to arrive in the mail!

 

I choose to interpret this comment as proposing that Adam Scott's guy is a younger Liam Shaw, and I choose to agree with that proposal.

 

Shaw was an engineer, not a helmsman.

Besides, who else but Todd Stashwick himself could play him?

 

People change careers in Starfleet all the time.

 

True dat.

Even Geordi was a helmsman before becoming an engineer...

 

He's taking after Geordi and O'Brien.

 

They should have a Gargoyles reference in LD, considering a number of Trek actors have worked on that show.

There have been references to Cardassian gargoyles on bedposts in DS9 and Akaali gargoyles have been seen in a shop seen in ENT, so its completely feasible.

 

Or even better, have Keith David guest star.

 

I want to see some kind of reference to Sybok, maybe visit the planet of galactic peace. Basically, Star Trek V references would be fun for me.

 

What if Mariner was on the Defiant in that mission? They've put a lot of hints that she was a kid on board the Enterprise D (but still haven't flat out stated it), and her ending up on the Defiant and Enterprise E at their worst times would be apt for Mariner.

 

I liked Lt Neeley's brief appearance in Rocks and Shoals (DS9) and wished they'd used her as a recurring character. Seeing her on LDS world be cool.

 

That's what happens when there's nothing but dipshits in the shipping department!

 

Admiral Nechayev should come back

 

T'Pol, I believe Mike said he's a fan of hers. I know Jolene seems to have stepped from the industry. But it would be cool to see T'Pol and T' Lynn interact
