Pitch terrible ideas for episodes

"The Proqhets" (DS9)

Q visits DS9 and scoffs at Sisko's position as Emissary. Q investigates the Prophets and reveals that the Celestial Temple is the Q's equivalent of a forgotten old folk's home, populated by extremely elderly and delusional Q (the Prophets). Q tries to convince them (and Sisko) to have them returned to the Continuum where they will be euthanized. Sisko and Kira plead on the behalf of the Prophets, emphasizing their importance on Bajor despite their confused state of old age. The Q decide to spare their elders.
 
Voy: House
Starfleet has a EMH exchange program and Voyager's Doc decided to sign up. In this deal, Voyager got a Mark 4, represented by a Dr. Gregory House.
 
DS9 - "Waiting", the crew and residents of DS9 await election returns of the Federation Presidential election. The results may indicate whether or not the Federation leaves DS9 or stays... Quark serves a lot of drinks and tries to understand 'voting'. Meanwhile, Jake is running for class president and Sisko gives him a civics lesson through the Holodeck Hall of Presidents.

TOS - "The Dearly Departed" - Kirk, Spock, and a specialst return from a landing part - but 2 others are dead. Their surviving friends (ensigns, a leutanant, and a NCO, go through mourning and the funeral. Shatner, Nimoy and Kelly - and most of the cast - get a week vacation, and Koeing has a nearly starring role.
 
"Shield"

Prologue: In the 21st century, Detective "Dutch" Wagenbach of the LAPD arrests Vic Mackey...for crimes he's going to commit.... :lol:

Centuries later, Dutch's descendant - Lieutenant Ducane of the USS Relativity - investigates a rash of apparently unauthorized time jumps and tracks them to his own vessel. He discovers them to be the work of Captain Braxton, who is working undercover as the man known to 22nd-century Starfleet as "Future Guy". Realizing that this is how history is supposed to be fulfilled, and not wanting to risk changing the timeline, Ducane decides to remain silent.
 
TOS - "Mr. Moustache" - An alien virus causes the crew to sing their inner most thoughts and feelings. also, Chekov grows a moustache. somehow, the two events are connected to Chekov's old imaginary friend.

TNG - "Nine Lives" - Data and Geordi construct a universal translator for Spot. in a strange coincidence Spot must use the translator after Romulans take over the Enterprise and save the day.

DS9 - "If These Walls Could Talk" - Trying to catch Quark's ultimate scheme, Odo changes into a chair and after a system malfunction, can not unshift. all the characters come and go, sitting on Odo having typical conversations yada yada yada.

Voy - "Bouncing Baby Borg" - In an accident involving the Replicator and the EMH program part of the Dr. is actually replicated into a cake that Seven eats. later she becomes pregnant and must decide to carry the child or not.

Ent - "Christmas Spirits" - After she is forced to watch "Its a Wonderful Life" with Trip, T'Pol takes stock of her life and wonders what the last four years on Enterprise would be like without her. Special Guest Star: Tom Selleck as T'Pol's long lost father.
 
"Q & A" (TNG)

Suzi Plakson reprises her role as the female Q before it actually happened, as she decides she wants to know what love is all about, and chooses Picard as her test subject. As the title suggests, she spends a great deal of the episode in Fredericks of Betazed lengerie to temp the Captain. But since Picard is incapable of ever having any freaking fun at all, her seductions are to no avail.


On the other hand, who could possibley believe Suzi Plakson couldn't make even a marble statue horny?
 
"I, The Vessal" (TNG)
The Enterprise flys through a surprise energy vortex and Captain Picard seems to be broken to bits, and then reassembled. Picard's 'mind' is put into the 'body of the Enterprise and the Enterprise's 'mind' is put into Picard's body! Watch the hilarity ensue as Picard experiences Warp Acceleration for the first time and as The Enterprise feels awkward walking around inside it's old body.
 
DS9- Miles gone crazy

Miles has the Galosian virus. The usual treatment has a side effect. It gives the victim OCD. So as a result, Miles becomes obsessed with installing a warp core in the station and tries to achieve warp drive.
 
All pitched episodes will be produced, somehow. You can choose which series you want to bear the terrible burden of your episode.

"Blade in Hand." (TNG.)
This episode takes a heavy-handed allegorical take on modern gun-law problems and second amendment rights. However, they do this through a race of Ninja-aleins who only use bladed weapons. Yet they awkwardly try to plough on, getting their muddled point across.

"Standstill." (VOY.)
Nelix has been annoying everyone. Tuvok realizes at one point that maybe something is wrong with Nelix. Voyager trades medical records with a Delta Quadrent species, as this sector is known for it's poisons. This medical data has a wealth of information on Talaxian Physiology. Tuvok and the EMH look over it and find out that Nexlis has ADD by Talaxian standards. They try to get Nelix to take it...and he does, for awhile. And he's not annoying. But then he feels as if it's changing him...and the crew faces an ethical delima.

"The Man behind the curtain" (TOS; Season 3)
Kirk and Spock and company com across a planet where the natural inhabitants are all invisible. While interacting with the planet everybody turns invisible! But they can't see their fellow crewmen because they're also invisible to each other. 80% of the episode is devoid of human or alein actors and is just voice overs. Luckily, flakey science saves the day somehow.

"Point of No Return." (VOY)
A sequel to Threshhold. The Lizard children that Tom Paris and Janeway gave birth two continued to evolve at a fast pace and have become a massive empire within just a few short years. The Lizards kidnap Tom and Janeway, seeing them as their Gods, and sally forth onto war with the Galaxy. Their children are wreckless, though, and try to egg the Voth onto war. How will mama and papa get their children to behave?

"St. Valentine's Day." (ENT; early seasons.)
It's Valentine's Day on Enterprise and awkward juvenile romance ensues.

Great thread..and I liked all of them because they were so bad...MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN would be the worst, and best..Jimmy Doohan could have done all the other voices other than the regulars.

AND!!..you could have had that first same sex male kiss (a dream of many on this board) and gotten away with it because..duh..it would have been invisible!!!

For some reason, this annoys Seven and Harry, who are trying to repair Cerebro- err, Stellar Cartography. At this point, Harry akwardly tries to start a relationship with Seven. Again. He fails. Again. Janeway demotes him to ensign for violating fraternization regulations, forgetting that he has been and always will be an ensign. Janeway decides to chase after the Borg Queen to get back Neelix and B'lanna, but there is a primitive planet beneath the Borg Queen's pimpmobile and entering orbit would violate the Prime Suggestion.... *cough* err, Prime Directive. So, she has a moral agenda, but decides to go after the Borg Queen anyways, so she can get this crew home. In a daring rescue, she goes with Tuvok and Harry over to the Borg ship, equipped with some of those mp3 player armband holders with LED blinkies in them, which keeps the Borg from noticing them. They barge into the Borg Queen's lair, upload Jeff Goldblum's laptop from Independence Day and hightail it out of there, rescuing Neelix and B'lanna.
Oh, and Kim dies, but he still has 4 regenerations out of 13 left, so it's all cool.
