How to conclude Star Trek

[Jax]

Humans take the place of the Q.

 

[Finn]

With a reboot of Star Trek XI...

 

[azebelys]

something along the lines of humans evolving into something much more... something like the Q, or the Traveller would be cool. its been hinted at in so many star trek that humans will evolve into something amazing, so to see that happen as ending would be strangely appropriate

 

[Ryan Thomas Riddle]

With two words:

The End

 

[dreadpiraterose]

It's not possible for Star Trek to end.

No matter how long it went away or was left for dead, somebody in the
industry somewhere would like it enough to do something with it at somepoint.

Or someone who wasn't in the industry would get into it for just that purpose.

Star Trek will never die, only rest.

Exactly. There is an infinite number of stories to be told in the Trek universe.

 

[Dayton Ward]

Kirk finds himself, and a shuttlecraft, in a futuristic looking hotel room, all alone. After looking at the bathroom, he sees an older version of himself having dinner. Then, that version sees an old and dying version of himself in bed. That version points at a big black object, which we learn to be the missing V'Ger memory wall from TMP. Suddenly, he becomes pure energy and returns to Earth in the form of a star child to usher in the next evolution of humanity.

Wait... has that been done?

All these worlds are yours.....except Risa....

 

[2 of 10]

The entire Universe gets pulled into some kind of vortex, where time and space speed up to beyond WF10, and then we all turn into Lizard People, like Tom and Kathrine kids, and live happly ever after...

 

[AdmiralGarak]

Some manufactured ending for Star Trek would never work. TNG got it right. The series ended, but Starfleet's mission exploration continued. Anything else ruins the spirit of the show.

 

[C.E. Evans]

With the latest incarnation of the Enterprise sailing gracefully into a spectacular vista of deep-space and a voice-over from its captain ending with "...to continue boldly going where no one have gone before."

 

[Jim Steele]

How about a story where Riker is having trouble coming to an important decision, so he goes into a holodeck and starts pretending to be the chef on a great ship that he never before indicated he had any knowledge of. Oh, and how about we cut it off just before the biggest moment ever in the Star Trek universe?

Sadly, it was a rather fitting end to the Berman/Braga era.

 

[Redfern]

Whatever the series or movie, after the adventure seems complete, we fade to a scene set in a typical office, circa, maybe just past 1960. We see a tall, solidly built man with a cardigan sweater, gesticulating enthusiastically as he explains, "...Or, you might consider it something like, well, 'Wagon Train to the stars'. So, what do you gentlemen think?" Several men in business suits lean towards one another to whisper. After several moments discussion, one or another of them glancing at the man across the table, they finally sit up straight and the person in the center replies, "A para-military ship you say? Hmm, I don't know. We're not sure viewers will relate favorably with that, especially the younger set. Sorry, but we'll have to pass. We're going with another space adventure, one centered around a family, you know, husband, wife, two or three kids, characters for every member of the American household. But thanks for coming by. OK, who do we see next?"

Sincerely,

Bill

Star Trek cannot end!

It will always live on at least in the books even if no more films or series' are being made.

 

[Deckerd]

Books aren't ST.

 

[EnsignRicky]

Make a bid for some last minute cash by throwing together a quick big screen re-imagining of one of the more popular series in the franchise, recasting it with a younger cast. Though personally, I would have concluded it with Enterprise. It was the perfect ending, in so far as many fans were content that Star Trek as it had become had finally ended; Or so we thought. Now we just have to wait a few more months to find out if Trek will ultimately continue, or has simply tacked on a new ending.

They are not going to come to my house and take back all my DVDs, are they? At least I will get a full refund, right?

 

[Jim Steele]

Books aren't ST.

Yeah, whaddya think this is, Doctor Who? Star Trek clearly defines its canon, dammit!

 

[jgdst]

Naomi Wildman wakes up suddenly and walks into the bathroom. She hears someone is in the shower and pulls back the curtain.

Benny Russell turns round and says "Good morning"

CUT to black! (none of this fading nonsense)

Dramatic music DN DN... DN DN... DNDN DNDN. Hmm.. that's a bit like Zero Hour, but it fits.

Et voila

Or failing that, y'know... snowglobe!

 

[The Wormhole]

Kirk, Picard, Sisko, Janeway, and Archer meet at the same pond and go fishing...

 

[TheGodBen]

I think they will finally get Janeway and Picard to realise their love for one another, and they will elope in a naked ceremony on Betazed, with The Sisko returning from the wormhole in order to perform the ceremony.

 

[Nerys Myk]

Benny Russell: "So that's my idea. What do you think?"

Gene Roddenberry: "It has potential."
