If a Different Series Did That Episode

YES!

And, to top it all off, it was also split the way Riker's was - so this is a copy of Trip from before he died!

 

I don't know if I've ever hated any of the series ships but I think there's something interesting about the idea of being able to change the exterior shots of the ships over a whole episode or film. Like I've made pictures where the TOS film ships in TNG episodes were replaced by contemporaries of the Galaxy-class. Or imagine seeing the Enterprise-D in First Contact or the Borg-modified version of Voyager continuing past "The Gift" or the TOS Enterprise in TMP. JTVFX has redone the final shot of "Call to Arms" but threw in the Negh'var, New Orleans-class, Intrepid-class, Ambassador-class, and so on. I think it's interesting as a look at what-ifs more than changing the films or episodes themselves.

 

Darmok - Enterprise.

Archer on planet to alien captain: you dared to kidnap me, even after I gave you the Gazelle Speech? It's a shame you didn't transport Porthos with me, now I'll have to pee on that little notebook of yours myself!

 

Well, obviously...

My write up of if DS9 had done Voyager's major storylines.
ALTERNATE DS9

• The story begins with Commander Benjamin Sisko (Kathryn Janeway) taking command of space station Deep Space Nine. His first officer is Major Kira Nerys (Chakotay).
  
  
• DS9 would introduce the Bajorans (Ocampa) being harassed by the Cardassians (Kazon) and the DS9 crew having to step in to defend them due to the death of the Wormhole Aliens (Caretaker).
  
  
• They would have different storylines each week of different varieties with light continuity.
  
  
• Other antagonist aliens like the Miradorn (Vidiians) appeared in Season 1 and 2.
  
  
• Eventually the Cardassian and Miradorn storylines dried up at the end of Season 2. In Season 3 the Dominion (Borg) made appearances in two mid-season episodes, introducing themselves. The end of the season reveals that the Dominion is at war with the Pah-Wraiths (Species 8472). Sisko realises that the Pah-Wraiths winning the war might put the Alpha Quadrant at risk and negotiates an alliance with the Dominion.
  
  
• Season 4 opens with Sisko developing chroniton-based weapons that will kill Pah Wraiths. After successfully deploying them the Pah Wraiths retreat back to their realm.
  
  
• Season 4 bring the Dominion in as recurring threats, who will appear in a total of twenty-three episodes over the entire series, along with the Female Founder as a foil for both Sisko and Odo.
  
  
• If Season 4 of ALTDS9 played the same as REALVOY, then Odo (Seven of Nine) joined the cast here. Of course it's possible he joined in the first season and it's only now that he becomes aware of his origin. After some teasing in the prior season, Worf (Tom Paris) and Jadzia (B'Elanna Torres) begin their relationship for real in this season.
  
  
• The fifth season finale and sixth season opener introduces the starship Valiant, a starship that was using unethical methods to wage a private war against an enemy species. Sisko and the Defiant hunt it down and stop it. Members of it's crew are taken back to DS9 and set up to be recurring characters but are never seen again.
  
  
• The sixth season finale and seventh season opener reveal that a Dominion resistance group, Freedom is Life, has sprung up led by the rogue Changeling Laas, Weyoun 6 and Goran'Agar. Odo makes contact with Laas and persuades Sisko to help the group. Whilst carrying out their mission Sisko, Dax and O'Brien are captured by the Dominion and thrown into an internment camp, although this was part of their overall plan. They are successful in transmitting a broadcast signal which override a percentage of all Vorta and Jem'Hadar's belief that the Founders are gods. A civil war begins in the Dominion, although outside of one mention in the series finale, Freedom is Life is never seen again.
  
  
• The series finale begins in the future, ten years after the conflict with the Dominion was concluded. The cold war that DS9 experienced during it's run finally erupted into a hot war and lasted for sixteen years. Since then Odo and Kira have died, Julian Bashir (EMH) has married a random woman, Jadzia and Worf are still together and have a child, Nog is a starship commander of the USS Oregon, and Miles O'Brien has succumbed to a neurological disorder and is now in a psychiatric facility. With the help of Molly O'Brien, now a Starfleet operative, Sisko gains access to the Orb of Time and time travels to 2375, in order to end the Dominion War before it even begins. Future Sisko interacts with his past self and arms DS9 and the Defiant with future weapons. Going on the offensive the Defiant makes it's way to the Founders homeworld and after threatening the Dominion leaders with destruction successfully negotiates a treaty and cease-fire. The Defiant returns to the Alpha Quadrant.

Give it to ENT

Archer is retired and living in upstate New York. Sato is an accomplished chef and swings by to see Archer. Phlox is a dean at an Earth university. Mayweather captains his own Daedalus class starship, which is lost in a battle with the Andorians - who have recently annexed Vulcan - as the Federation and Andoria are at war with each other. Reed, who has joined the Andorian Imperial Guard, and Trip, who is now an admiral and commanding the NX-refit Enterprise, have grown apart because T’Pol kicked the bucket.

TNG: Cause and Effect
Give it to DS9

DS9 is destroyed over and over again by a late 23rd century space station that appears after a sudden temporal rift that strikes the station’s reactor core.

 

I like your idea of ENT getting "Conundrum".

Since the Enterprise is far less advanced than the Vissians, the stakes are more real.

 

Khan 2.0 did this post a few years back about Beyond replacing The Final Frontier in 1989, with the TOS cast and Sean Connery as Krall. I've been a bit obsessed with it and even thought about making some images of it but couldn't work out how to make Scotty's film costume with the vest, in Poser.

Picard runs the historical programs of the NX era for the first time and realizes that the programs are wildly inaccurate from the history books.

Picard and the La Sirena crew investigates an abandoned Romulan archeological site on Nelvana III, and encounters a Tal Shiar agent - the son of Tomalak - claiming to have defected from the Romulan Free State.

 

Relics
Give it to Discovery…so we can see that solid Dyson Sphere with the newest FX

 

Would make more sense for pattern degration and cement Scotty as a miracle worker for surviving 1000 years, to boot. And make more sense to his being out of touch with technology. Imagine him finding out about programable matter and transformer ships and spore drives?

 

Why would this Domion be so much less aggressive, take much longer before trying to outright conquer the Alpha Quadrant?

 

Badda-Bing Badda-Bang (DS9)
Give it to: TNG

Moriarty finds a way to contact the Enterprise crew for help from inside his portable holodeck thingy and enlist their help and I get the joy of seeing a casino heist masterminded by Riker and Picard.

 

Before starting his new assignment as ops officer on a Federation garbage scow, since after seven years as an ensign his career is irretrievably ruined. If we're going to crap on Harry, let's go big. More on him later, though...

A pocket calculator. And he gives birth to a couple of cute slide rules.

Too similar to "Visionary". And no poker scene.

Anything to eliminate that abomination from "Enterprise". They could still slip Jonathan Frakes in, just stick him into another episode as Riker's great great grandfather.

While I liked it as a DS9 episode, I agree that it would have been cool here too. Or on Voyager, for that matter. Maybe every Trek should do a crime caper show...

Here's a thought... give "Favorite Son" to DS9. Because they're not scared of shaking things up and letting dust gather on the Reset Button, Harry actually IS an alien, and we spend the next four seasons watching him deal with an identity crisis, discover his new abilities, make peace with his alien-ness when said new abilities help him paste the Jem'Hadar, suffer assorted indignities, be a hero, fall in love a few times, marry the last person he falls for in a Bajoran ceremony preduded over by the Emissary, and give that lonely little gold pip on his collar a friend or two. Because as Bob Ross reminds us, everybody needs a friend.

 

The honest answer is that in the alternate universe the writers never had the Dominion be as aggressive and invade the Alpha Quadrant. It's basically what-if DS9 was on UPN, with no serialised storytelling, whereas Voyager is in syndication and does whatever it wants. In-universe, I guess you could say the Dominion is biding it's time and it simply takes longer. The Borg never did a full scale invasion of Alpha Quadrant either.
