    Ideal situation moving forward (post-60th Anniversary)

    No one will agree on what is the best way moving forward. I generally like the Kelvin Films, but I am a Classic Trekkie. But, we need to bring all these elements forward, so, with spoiler: Acknowledge the shenanigan known as the Temporal Cold War, hot and cold, and how that has affected the...

    Bring back MACOs?

    You know, as a small unit that can be expanded as needed, but would serve as a SOP unit from within the Security apparatus. That way, Starfleet can still be considered to be a "non-military organization". If not, then place the MACOs within Section 31 and be done with it.

    Should the studios recut Season 3 of PIC into a feature Film?

    As a matter fact, why not two? With two, we get the "complete" six-film series that should have happened with the TNG crew, and, if we're lucky, Metalas can get more money for new shoots and reshoots. Just saying.

    I want the original cast of PICARD to return...

    ...but I want it done in a way that makes sense. I mean. If Elnor died in the alternate past, but managed to reappear alive again in the "correct" timeline, at the end of Season 1, then so can Rios and the pre-Borg Jirati could as well. I like both the actors and their respective characters...

    Spoilers Starfleet needs to revise its policies on "Augments"

    I can understand human's apprehension on Augments, but a blanket ban on Augments, and augmentation at large, should be revised. There should be a difference between augmentation for the sake of adapting to an alien environment, and weaponized augmentation (ie. Khan Noonien Singh and his...

    Would Khan have succeeded...

    ...if he was a bit more patient? TOS' "Space Seed" depicted a Khan Noonien Singh as "brilliant", but his arrogance proved to be his downfall. He should have bid his time to make his move. Or better yet, just petition the Feds for clemency, then set up shop on a colony if he was to opposed to...

    Do political parties exist in the world of STAR TREK?

    I don't about political parties, but certainly "movements" can, as evidence by the episode "Way to Eden" (TOS) and "The Maquis" (DS9), even if the Federation's economic system is "socialistic" in nature.

    Would Marvel Comics characters be seen as Augments...

    ...in the world of STAR TREK? Would mutants, like the X-Men, and mutates like the Avengers and Fantastic Four, be seen and treated like Augments (including being barred from serving in Starfleet), or artificial enhancements, like that of Captain America, fall under that definition? And how...

    Ship of Theseus...Ship of Kirk?

    After watching the last episode of WANDAVISION, there was a philosophical debate concerning the "Ship of Theseus". Basically, how much of the ship is removed and replaced before its ceases to be the original ship? Now, that line got me thinking about the Enterprise, and what Captain Will...

    Another way to have defeated Khan in TWOK?

    I just thought of this: when Kirk was stalling for time, in order to get the prefix codes on the USS Reliant, he then ordered the USS Enterprise to fire upon that ship, after its shields went down. What if, instead of discharging weapons fire, Kirk simply had transported Khan and his Bridge...

    A more "serious" version of "Lower Decks"?

    If the show was more "serious", a la TAS, from the start, would you still watch it? In my opinion, cartoons tend to be sitcoms, especially in regards to the show's comedy. Then again, we have shows like AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER that seems to strike a fine line between being "serious" and...

    Thoughts on "Code of Honor"...

    Having just seen RLM's "Top Ten TNG Episode" (Part 1), I need to know if "Code of Honor" was controversial. Was it because it was based on African cultures? Was it because it featured a "white" woman (Yar) fighting a "black" woman? I mean, we had ritual combat situations going back to "Amok...

    What if TNG took place immediately after TUC?

    I always thought that GR wanted to put some distance between the TOS era and his TNG era in order to have more creative control. That being said, instead of the TNG era taking place some 76 years after Kirk's historic 5-year mission, what if TNG took place right after Kirk and crew completed...

    A better reason for the anti-Synth plot, IMO...

    A better reason for the Romulans to go "ham" on synthetic life forms would be strategic. If you hate the Federation, but can't do anything to counter the Federation at the moment, due to your homeworld's sun going "supernova", you would create a crisis that would ensure that the Federation did...

    Changing ONE thing about the TOS movies...

    I wouldn't have had the original NCC-1701 Enterprise go through a refit for TMP. The Enterprise in TMP would have been the NCC-1701-A, given how radical the design of the ship was. Meanwhile, I would have had the original Enterprise be a part of a fleet yard museum (being famous for surviving...

    Low-Tech STAR TREK series: Yay or Nay?

    If such a show was aesthetically realistic, and within the time frame between first contact with the Vulcans, and the launch of the NX-01 Enterprise, and with a ship design appropriate to that era (based on the XCV-330 series), would you watch it? I see the series as a limited success, in the...

    What if Humans won the Eugenics War through Augmentation?

    And not just through biological augmentation? Supposedly, humanity was able to defeat Khan Noonien Singh and his fellow Augments, but we're not told HOW this was done. I propose that, within the context of an "arms race", various forms of human augmentation was used to defeat Khan, whether...

    What if Ceti Alpha 6 did not explode?

    Would Khan Noonien Singh and his crew still seek revenge on Kirk, for be stranded on Ceti Alpha 5? Would Khan be able to keep his innate ambitions intact? Considering that those Ceti eels existed before the planetary shift, I would think that a number of people would have still died, including...

    Was Kirk right to report Finney's mistake? ("Court Martial")

    I understand the reason for James Kirk to do so. After all, not properly monitoring the power systems of the USS Republic could have been catastrophic. But in hindsight, we're dealing with the more straight-laced Kirk, who was a model cadet during his Starfleet Academy days. Also, I read...

    Could a Jedi (STAR WARS) serve in Starfleet (STAR TREK)?

    It depends on the era where the Jedi came from, and the type of training the Jedi has. Come to think of it, would the Jedi be allowed to have his or her lightsaber on his or her person? From what I can recall, a "classical Jedi" uses only his or her lightsaber, while a non-classical would use...
