A little exercise in hypotheticals. Let's say that you can change history and add exactly one full season to any Star Trek series, without it affecting any of the future Trek productions (e.g. if you add a season to TOS, all the rest of the series will occur exactly as they have). Which would you choose?
Here are a few rules: the season will feature essentially the same cast as the last season of the series; there will be no major additions or subtractions to the cast - with the exception of characters who arguably would no longer be involved (such as, say, Trip in Enterprise). I guess I'll leave it up to you to decide what impact the last season finales would have on the following season.
The existence of this season in no way affects anything else Trek, before or after, including movies, and will not lead to any other "new" seasons. This is just a free bonus year.
A few thoughts:
- Considering TOS Season 3 compared to 1 and 2, what would a Season 4 look like?
- Did TNG go out on top, was it declining, or could it have had another great season?
- How would the format of DS9 changed (or not changed) considering the major events that befall the characters at the end of Season 7?
- What might a season of Voyager in the Alpha Quadrant look like?
- Enterprise Season 5 - could it have continued the improvement in quality that the last two seasons had over the first two (in my opinion at least)? Also, it Would mean that TATV would no longer be the final episode of televised Trek to this moment.
