    I'd be curious to see the timeline where Worf refused to accept discommendation.

    The one where Pulaski died in Unnatural Selection, and Beverly is back in Matter of Honor...

    One where every double keeps existing & is on board. At the very least we'd have 2 Picards (Time Squared), 2 Rikers (Thomas) , 2 Data's (Lore), 2 Worfs and 2 Geordi's (Where silence has lease) -possibly more versions of them, if you count those weird time experiments from dr. Manheim ....

    ... right, I forgot Parallels itself... _billions_ of each of them!

    The latter happens in Myriad universes book but Data and Lal blow up the factory and Data takes Starfleet to court.

    A universe where Picard is more like Robert Picard and not all righteous
    A universe where he does not break up with Cmdr Darrin and that young man really was his son
    A universe where Riker accepts a promotion to Captain
    A universe where Jellico remains on the Enterprise after Picard's death and the war with the Cardassians reignites

    One where no one ever discovers Odo's people are the Founders of the Dominion. Episodes like "HOMEFRONT/PARADISE LOST" would be radically different.

    For that matter, I thought of one where the shuttle of Sisko and Dax is shot down/captured by Jem'Hadar fighter squadrons seconds after they first exit the wormhole for the very first time in Emissary. On the AQ side they never found out what happened or that there even is a wormhole..... until the Dominion comes through it with thousands of ships ...

    The timeline where Duras becomes leader of the Klingon High Council.

    Fair point.

    Okay... one where the Enterprise is stuck in that galaxy after the first big jump in "Where No One Has Gone Before".

    Knowing it would take centuries to get back, Picard and the crew decide to stay there and start their own Federation in that galaxy, hoping at some point in the future the two Federations end up becoming one.

    Oh. Okay, my memory is sucky.

    Next one... those creatures in "Conspiracy" succeed.

    Well, if you go by the novels, that would be the end of the Trill...

    The dystopian borg universe and the revanchist Bajor universes were the ones I felt were the most interesting.

    How did Bajor become expansionist and aggressive?
    In the Borg one-have they conquered the whole Alpha Quadrant, if so would that mean they have taken the Beta and Delta Quadrants as well?

    Data and Geordi are stranded in the Delta Quadrant and are taken prisoners by Viidians... The Viidians lure the Barzan wormhole and use it to invade the Federation.

    Ooh, that would have been interesting. Wonder how that would have played out long term.

    I always thought that in this universe, the occupation happened in reverse - i.e. it was Bajor who invaded and occupied Cardassia.

    IIRC, that's how @Nerys Ghemor sees things in her "Catacombs of Oralius" fanfic.

    One where Troi actually knows the basics of psychology.
    One where Wesley was actually wrong
    One where Riker caught a bunch of alien STDs and his body is disintegrating from week to week.
    One where Crusher doesn't find the cure to every single disease the Enterprise encounters just in the nick of time
    One where delivering a single open fisted blow to some enemy doesn't knock them out for hours

    One that syncs up with "These Are the Voyages", so Riker and Troi are somehow 20 years older in season 7.
