Haven't seen a new one in a while, so here you go: You are the captain of an early UESPA exploration ship, pre-Federation. You've had encounters with the Orions previously, where they have attempted piracy and hijinks against you and your crew. Your standing orders are to NEVER initiate...

Brotherhood of the Wolf (Le Pact de Loups) is one of my favorite movies. For a little background, this is from Wiki: First of all, anyone who hasn't seen this film but loves action period pieces should definitely see it. For the best experience, watch it in French with English subtitles...

The premise: Leia goes with Obi-wan to Tatooine and is raised by Owen and Beru. She is Leia Skywalker. Luke goes with Bail Organa and becomes his adopted son and future Imperial senator, Luke Organa. What twists and turns in the saga result from this? I'll post some ideas later...

Okay, I couldn’t help myself. I re-wrote Ahsoka, attempting to take the broad storyline and characters and remake it into a more cohesive and logical narrative. Without getting too spoilery, an overview of the effort looks like this: The biggest change is that Thrawn and Ezra are trapped in...

So, if you had 8 episodes to work with (assume a 45-50 min runtime), what would you do differently if you were to swap bodies with Dave Filoni back when all this was being worked out? Here's my first pass at it, based on what we've seen and know so far of the actual show: Part I Kick it off...

Introduction “In 2218, under the command of Captain Frances Benoit, the USS Sentry made contact with the Klingon starship IKV Devisor while responding to a distress call from a small, warp-capable shuttlecraft of unknown markings. “ -Memory Beta As all Star Trek fans know, there are multiple...

Just rewatched this for the first time in several years. I thought the animation and production design was fantastic (especially for its time), and the music was just like stepping into a 90's time machine. I remember watching this in the theater for the first time, the opening sequence in the...

We may have a solution to a couple of sticky issues in Trek, the largest being the idea that during the Earth-Romulan war, their ships were limited to impulse. So, what exactly is impulse? Is it a form of power generation, or a form of propulsion, or both? I contend that it's both. Further...

Can't remember if this has been discussed before or not, but I just rewatched the movie today and this jumped out at me: Was it even necessary for Kirk and co to steal the Enterprise? I mean, they were on their way to Genesis before David and Saavik even found regenerated Spock. As far as...

Why do you suppose studios are so reluctant to adapt previously published material for movies and TV shows? In the case of Trek, you had the entire novel-verse to draw upon, especially in the case of the 24th Century, when looking for story ideas to adapt for TV shows and movies. While the...

Quoted from the Hegemony thread: Pike hasn't shown a great deal this season in terms of being a great captain. That's on the writers, of course. But 'in-game', so to speak, you have to wonder if Pike is now damaged goods as a commanding officer. He's had two looks at his possible future, and...

Just finished a re-watch of S1, and as we near the end of S2 I was just struck by how much more S1 seemed to offer on all fronts. Plus, is it just my imagination, or did s1 seem to have a much bigger budget than we've seen on display this season? There have been a lot of shows this season that...

Ever since I first saw them, I thought that these aliens from Season 1 (Children of the Comet) pretty closely resembled these aliens from Enterprise S1 "Silent Enemy." What would you think if the show runners made them the same species, (obvious differences in appearance aside), and the...

Stemming from a discussion in another thread... Harve Bennett claimed that they screened every episode of TOS in order to find a plot point or what not to expand on and blow up into STII. The episode they ultimately chose was Space Seed, and what blossomed out of that was The Wrath of Khan...

And by extension, no Search for Spock or Voyage Home, since the three comprise a fairly tightly interconnected storyline. TWOK is arguably the best Trek movie to date, but beyond that, it has had an impact on the franchise at large that goes beyond day-to-day thought. I mean... Ponder how...

Think about it- post scarcity economy with an effectively limitless supply of energy. What is the easiest way to house all those people yet provide the highest possible standard of living? Everyone gets a 50' x 50' meter square box to live in, stacked in city skyscrapers, but each one is a...

I've recently gone back and revisited this story, cleaned up some of the grammar and diction, fixed some clunky dialogue, and corrected a ton of typos and spelling mistakes contained in the original. Since it is novella length, I'm not going to repost it word for word here, but below is a...

Went back to Ep 1 and start watching again, this time without a week in between. As of now I'm about halfway through the season in terms of second looks. I think nu-Trek finally has a winner on its hands. I'm enjoying these shows more the second time around than the first, and the cast seems...

Think of Bones in City on the Edge of Forever, or Rios in the 21st Century, and we actually sort of saw it happen with Picard in Inner Light. Say you were a starfleet crewman who, through some mischance, was cast into the past of your own homeworld and forced to live out your life there...

We caught a glimpse of Earth in the season opener, and we got the chance to breathe a bit and see the characters going about more mundane stuff aboard Starbase 1 in Spock Amok. Is anyone else interested in seeing the crew visit, if not Earth itself, another advanced Federation world to...
