Unresolved issues

What are some of the issues you wish would be resolved in any Trek series? By resolved I mean in universe and not things like "get rid of Voyager" or shoot Neelix or something.
 
Why Kirk accepted promotion and why Spock left Starfleet between the end of TOS and The Motion Picutre?
 
I would like know what happened to Geordi's mothers ship. I was hoping they would find it in the Delta Quadrant and connect the story lines.
 
I would have liked a scene in which T'Pol and Phlox tell Archer that she had been mainlining trellium during the Xindi mission.
 
I had forgotten about her and yes that WOULD have been a good tie in!

Maybe it could have been a replacement for the Equinox, the only problem is that her ship was been full of Vulcans and I'm pretty sure they wouldn't have been willing to go along with that plan at all.
 
Why Kirk shot Spock into the Genesis planet. Seriously, he shoots a legend of Starfleet AND Vulcan into a newly formed planet without formal honors or consulting either?
 
Why Spock didn't shoot Sybok on the knee and then club him over the head on the flight deck.

Then carry him to sick bay with McCoy in tow.

****************

Did Kirk have Spock teach the kid he did CPR on, to be the next medicine man of Miramanee's tribe? Too young?

.
 
In Voyager, I would have liked to have more resolution at the end of Endgame. The entire episode was terrific (IMO), but the fact that they got home and the episode ended right away has never been right to me. Having one more episode to tie up all of the loose ends would have made the series even better to me.
 
What did Janeway do with the Borg baby from "Collective"????

(all the other questions have been answered in the novels, to my satisfaction)

They looked like formal honors to me. They even had bagpipes!

And the request for burial in space was in Spock's will, according to the novelization.

The last Borg children script had the baby being mentioned as going with them, but the production team realised that most people had forgotten the baby and the line was cut for time and never filmed.
 
why the Federation signed a treaty where they agreed to put themselves at a tactical disadvantage by not developing a cloaking device. Were they losing the war and the treaty was basically imposed?
 
^ check out Serpents Among The Ruins for an answer to that. ;)

Wasn't there a rumor that this very thing would happen on Voyager?
 
What about all those survivors of the Equinox who stayed on Voyager? They were restrictedto quarters and never allowed out again?
 
Although Shatner's novels expained it, why are there all the dulicates of Earth out there? Enterprise could have explained it in a prequel, and saved money on silly foreheads at the same time.

Why was warp speed so slow in Voyager? The Enterprises crossed massive distances in the blink of an eye, but then suddenly the "fastest ship" had a 75 year journey of double what STV covered in a few days! (amusingly, Enterprise and STXI would revert to the faster speeds, causing much nerd rage)

That's a pretty important thing they cut for time, with the flimsiest reasoning imginable.

Yeah this is a big one. The whole damn show was about the emotional journey getting home, and the moment they do, the credits roll? Where was the emotional payoff!? Harry Kim with his family, Janeway with her dog, Seven with her Grandparents or something.

It wasn't that Voyager was slow, but the 'science' in V was that atrocious.

How DID the Shatnovels explain it?

Me, I'm going with what our own Nerys Ghemor propounded in her most excellent fanfic. :techman:

She suggests that those planets weren't *duplicates* of Earth - they actually WERE Earth. Meaning: They were all parallel universe versions of Earth itself. The Enterprise encountered them because it had temporarily slipped into the universes where they existed, because the fabric of space was not too stable.

Every single time? That seems to be something of a stretch.
