Thought exercise: One DS9 episode with an unlimited budget?

[tomalak301]

My first thought was what you leave behind but in the interest of mentioning other episodes, Die is Cast. That was the first time we’ve seen a battle of that magnitude in DS9 and most of it was in the ship. Would have liked “Call to Arms” budget with that episode.

The Emissary- make it at least a 3 part opener. More Opaka, more time with the wormhole aliens etc. With the extra budget show more of Bajor because I agree some culture immersion would serve the show as a definitive improvement. Make the ending tension with fleets of ships trying to claim the wormhole.

^More of Wolf 359!!!

^More exploration of the Bajoran world and culture, I agree the immersion helps improve the overall context of the show.

Our Man Bashir. Don't put that money to good use elsewhere on something that would benefit the series as a whole, just blow it all on a full scale Bond movie

Bashir really, really needs a silver Aston Martin

(I wonder if he even knows how to drive, what with transporters and various sorts of aircraft and spacecraft...)

Sacrifice of Angels to show just a little bit more of the fleet battle.

Paradise Lost to show us a little more of the Defiant/Lakota battle.

 

[Finn]

In the Pale Moonlight.

And what would you add to the episode?

 

[Ragitsu]

I would subtract more war crimes.
