General Trek Questions and Observations

Another question: what would have happened to the surviving members of the conspiracy in TUC, e.g. Valeris, Cartwright, Nanclus, possible Klingon surivors? Were they extradited? Tried by their respective governments, and if so, which punishment would they have gotten?

That's a very good question. I think Valeris and all the Starfleet people would have been tried on Earth, as for the others it is anyone's guess.

Sam Cogley came out of retirement and got Valeris off. The incriminating evidence was illegally obtained via forced mind meld, and thus, not admissible. In addition, Spock was thrown in jail for forced mind meld brutality or something like that...:vulcan:

That was quite funny thank you.

But seriously was there any canon answer to what happened to all the conspirators?
 
The STAR TREK franchise has touched upon the topic of totalitarianism through its portrayal of alien races, a two-part episode of "Star Trek Deep Space Nine" and episodes that feature alternate universes. But it has never really explored the potential of human totalitarianism in the franchise's Prime timeline. Why is that?

If you can figure out what all of those examples that you sketched out have in common, and seriously it's not that difficult to do, then that will be the answer to your question. Hint: What's the essential characteristic of the "alternate universe" you mention?
 
I've seen lists for each Star Trek TV series of the episodes in broadcast/release order, production order and stardate order. I've also seen lists combining every series episode and movie in broadcast/release order and in stardate order. The one list I've never seen is of all episodes and movies in production order. Is there such a thing anywhere? Is it even possible, seeing as there are now several series in production at the same time? I haven't even seen one that combines TNG and DS9, or DS9 and Voyager.

I wasn't asking about the alternate universe. I was asking why the franchise has never explored the topic of human totalitarianism with any real depth, beyond a handful of episodes about the Mirror Universe or some mistaken history lesson.
