I don't pop in here much but I stumbled upon @TNG_S8 on twitter. Basically they tweet plots of episodes if TNG had continued into season 8. Some examples: I had a giggle There's plenty more
I just visited the Twitter account, and there are some really amusing suggestions. I appreciate any use of a hula-hoop contest.
Humourous Twitter About TNG S8 There is a pretty good Twitter account (TNG_S8) that gives plot synopses to the proverbial season 8 of TNG. For example: Alien minstrels trap Riker in a 90's dreamscape, only Picard can swashbuckle him free. Data and Geordie tie the hula hoop competition again. Interestingly there is at least 1 that resembles an existing season 7 episode, Emergence (minus the 'B' story):The Enterprise grows a positronic brain via holodeck and misbehaves. Worf refuses to wear shoes on the bridge, claims it's "dishonorable". Pretty funny stuff.
Re: Humourous Twitter About TNG S8 http://www.trekbbs.com/showthread.php?t=149693 I would actually like to see Worf claim that shoes are dishonorable! I started following @TNG_S8 shortly after they started, and retweeted this exact tweet.
Re: Humourous Twitter About TNG S8 Threads have now been smoothly merged. Much like the typical A&B TNG story structure.
Re: Humourous Twitter About TNG S8 Those plots sound like they come from a random story idea generator.
Re: Humourous Twitter About TNG S8 A lot like Season 7. "There's a problem on the Enterprise and a heavy fog rolls across the bridge. Dr. Crusher falls in love with a ghost."
I just started following this the other day! It's so funny! I seriously ROFLed at "Picard is trapped on a turbolift with a horse" and "Guinan learns Hockey" ... these are brilliant!
It's more than a little disturbing how often jokey comments about Star Trek on forums like this, upon only a little further reflection, don't sound that far out of place. Somebody once made a Voyager caption contest comment about Threshold that made me seriously think it should have been a real episode. Anyone care to post more? Not currently into the Twitter thing.
I discovered @TNG_S8 a few weeks ago. Some of them are hilarious! Here they are for those of you not on Twitter --------------------------------------------------------- Strange crimes lead the crew to a Lore factory, where each copy is more deranged than the last. Worf's "blood candles" smell terrible. A distress call leads the crew to a planet of ancient Earth minstrels. Troi conquers her fear of being in a shuttle with O'Brien. Worf's trip to a museum of famous swords becomes a larger adventure. Guinan admits that synthohol is really just alcohol. A planet of genderless aliens invent sexuality in honor of Riker.

Geordi and Data obsess over an elaborate scavenger hunt. Riker's ex-girlfriend arrives and dies, leaving behind a pile of glowing dust and a mystery. Picard is trapped on a turbolift with a horse. Riker befriends elves to survive while stranded on a planet similar in flora to Southern California. Picard misses his childhood sailboat. A duplicate Enterprise with a duplicate crew proves to be a nanobot/Borg evolutionary leap. Riker's trombone gains sentience, grows a beard. First contact is jeopardized by Data's jokes. Worf goes on a blind date, criticizes her as he eats a bowl of maggots. A pod of quantum dolphins are struck by the starboard nacelle, Picard defends himself in the dolphin murder trial. Guinan learns hockey. Wes rebuilds the Genesis Device for fun, with dire consequences. Riker sees a spider in his shower, immediately detaches the saucer section.

A temporal "wad" sends the crew back in time, Picard befriends a young Picasso. Barclay falls down a turbolift shaft, is trapped for days. Picard's poems come to life and seize the ship. Data's new obsession with his ventriloquist dummy is starting to affect his work. Geordie falls in love with a beautiful girl who turns out to be the exotic pet of a visiting dignitary. Riker's birthday party is a success. A sentient nebula chases the ship, which has nowhere to hide, because usually it would be in a nebula. Data adopts a dog, snake, and parrot. Alien minstrels trap Riker in a 90's dreamscape, only Picard can swashbuckle him free. Data and Geordie tie the hula hoop competition again. A planet of sexy, robed aliens refuse to return Riker to the ship. Miles O'Brien secretly hates his wife, job and the crew in general. Picard and Riker fix the political problems of an entire planet using common sense. Dr Crusher develops a small hypospray addiction. Data and Geordie build an amazing pillow-fort, but are forced to disassemble it for Cardassian peace talks. Troi finds new life in her hair. Worf brags about a new ceremonial knife for a week, then must prove his innocence after a mysterious stabbing. Riker does 150 pushups. Lwaxana Troi makes an unscheduled visit to the ship, demands to marry THE WARP CORE. Barclay suffers major burns while trying to cook pasta. The crew has to deal with the loss of a really attractive ensign. Vacationing Ferengi leave a huge mess that Riker just blows into space. The warp core needs to be shut down because it's full of ants. Picard and Dr. Crusher engage in a very sexy 47 min staring contest. The prime directive is completely ignored when Picard really wants to ride a Centaur. Geordie sleeps through the whole episode by accident. Geordie and Data nurse a space bird back to health, and are sad when they have to release it. Picard is trapped in a turbolift with a baby. The Enterprise grows a positronic brain via holodeck and misbehaves. Worf refuses to wear shoes on the bridge, claims it's "dishonorable". Q shows up and acts like a total bastard until they give him Data's foot "for keeps". Troi senses the crew doubts her medical credentials. The Borg show up and somehow randomizing the phasers actually works for once. Geordi starts to wear a hairband that looks like eyeglasses.

Worf strikes a woman and scolds Alexander for eating cooked meat. Riker and Picard mistakenly abandon Data on a planet of dancing children. Someone has been touching Worf's things, he's upset. The Enterprise fills with water, Riker must swim through increasingly flooded Jefferies tubes to reach the valve. Data learns to snap. Picard falls in love with a French woman the crew finds in a crystal who turns out to be a plant. Geordi and Data hunt a mouse.
No joke, there's some that wouldn't be out of place as TOS episodes (or first season TNG): (What does this person have with minstrels?) I'm thinking of some show where somebody had a fabrege egg addiction, and I'm picturing Beverly with various models of miniature hyposprays arranged on a secret shelf in her quarters, with some of them being "mint in box".
