MostlyReally? I was under the impression that was what the entire American Presidential race was about
I'd like that.
I think you should start a series of threads here to see how this council would perform... a simulation of sorts. These forums can be the actual Holodeck sector. You know how they loved to run simulations of things in the holodeck.
Well, since you asked, and this thread seems to be going nowhere quickly...
The script that got their attention was a Q story. He decides to show them how bad off they could really be, lost in the Delta Quadrant. He sends Voyager to a parallel universe where the ship was caught by the Borg and assimilated. what he didn't anticipate (being full of hubris) was that this Borg was a lot more advanced and had methods of capturing and controlling Q-beings. Meanwhile, a piece of the Borg ship embedded in Voyager's hull starts to assimilate the ship and crew.
Other ideas I pitched:
-- there were two versions of a Flying Dutchman story. Both involved the USS Endeavour, a ship identical to the original Enterprise, captained by a Dutchman. The crew has died and h'e automated the ship to run entirely from the bridge. He's trying to get home with the bodies of the dead trainee crew. One story had him protecting one species from another species, but the one he fighting think of revenge as a virtue, while the one he's protecting rate lying to others very highly - he was lied to and had no idea. The other story had him the Endeavour trappedn in a storm that followed him everywhere, punishing him for a crime committed long ago.
(When the image of the damaged ship comes up on the screen, the first letters you se in the name are 'En..e..vour' But those first four letters...
-- Voyager arrives at an alien station that s designed to repair ships. While Voyager is being repaired and the crew having R&R, they're trapped by the mercenaries that were chasing them (in a few different eps, Hazari?). It does bear a strong resemblance to an ENT story, but they took it in a different direction, and I don't particularly care.
--Voyager arrives on a world threatened by a tree. This tree it has to be said, is in effect a living Dyson sphere which will soon consume the planet. Turns out the plant has a level of awareness and takes the planet's population to live on the plant, on leaves (with gravity and atmosphere) the size of several continents. They weren't so fussed on that one because "there isn't enough for our people", which is fair enough.
-- After being scanned by alien radiation, Voyager's neural gel packs begin to 'think' - the ship becomes self aware. It's a battle between the crew and the new born mind, as well as the mercenaries, to reach some kind of resolution. This was one that they said, "that's not a direction we want to go in."
-- Voyager tries to rescue the survivors on a wrecked ship.. What wrecked the ship was the cargo, a dangerous menagerie (think Alien type aliens). Chakotay and Neelix get trapped, and they both have to use forgotten skills to escape. "We're doing something like this", but damned if I know which ep it was.
- Voyager is trapped in a Dyson-sphere sized ship that collects other ships and pits them against one another in gladiatorial combat for their entertainment. Can't remember what they said about this one.
-- The return of Dr Chaotica! And his new ally - Q! "We're doing a Q story."
-- Testing a new drive component sends Voyager to the Mirror Universe. Evil Janeway and her Borg slaves are on their way to Earth, and she thinks two Voyagers will be better than one. "That's not a direction we want to go."
-- Voyager stops at a deep space station, the boundary of an Empire about to be overrun by barbarians, and Janeway falls big time for the commander (I wanted her to have an interest non-crew related, for a change). She wants to stay and help, but he insists she takles Voyager and leaves - none will survive the attack. Has a coda of many years later, the commander getting a statue for his bravery. "Not a direction...".
-- Hazari and Vaadwaur team up to capture Voyager.
-- A Borg origin story. Voyager thrown back in time. Meet the original creators trying to develop an knowledge sharing application which goes wrong. Janeway tries to stop them, then tries to blow up the world.
-- A musical episode! Barclay is wigging out again, so the Doctor reprograms Barclay's holodeck Voyager program into an all-singing, all-dancing revue, that makes Barcllay realise he's being very foolish. Direction of course. I also wanted to see Tuvok let rip on an electric guitar, and Paris in a gold lame suit.
-- I wanted to do a humorous ep. This is my original notes for that: Travelling through a planetary system, Voyager finds itself the winner of a competition for the one billionth visitor to MallWorld, a world given over to the virtues and vices of eternal shopping. The prize is a huge wad of vouchers to buy whatever they want. Janeway and Torres haven’t done any shopping for six years, and Seven’ never been shopping, and so they go and do that funky thing. In the meantime the guys find shops with all the boy’s toys they can use: cars and ships, sports items, holographic girlie magazines, even seventy zillion types of beer.
It all comes undone when they overextend on the credit facility. The repayment system’s a bitch: items begin disappearing off Voyager as ‘interest’. They find it harder and harder to get clear of MallWorld but finally get away. On the way out, all the items they have purchased disintegrate; a security device built into MallWorld items like security tags in our shops.
There are a lot more, some not so good. It was a while ago.
Seems to be?
You know...as I was reading your second sentence, I thought about Memento too!
Watch this guy doing random shit and having vague conversations for 2 hours and then guess what he does for a living. A mystery! Awesome!
I'm sure Nolan could make it work.Starring Johnny Depp.
Well, now in fairness, I would go and see Johnny Depp standing in front of a blue screen for 2 hours doing nothing. He wouldn't even need to do the random shit or have the vague conversations.
Although I would suppose those would be a plus.
Still, the main event for me (and a lot of other women) would be the 'Johnny Depp' part.
As for the rest of this thread's activity since 20 hours ago, when I posted last....I can see we are still going 'round in circles.
About what I expected, I suppose.
Anyone else hear Shatner in their head reading this line, maybe with some choppy hand gestures thrown in for emphasis... or is it just me?
Well, we do NOW! And I gotta tell you - it makes the line alot more fun to read, too!
Well that's a new one. Guess I should have yielded to my first instinct to put a "" smiley after my tongue-in-cheek post. Or do you really think I actually believe he's a computter and I'm a talking cat?Nowhere Man

Sounds a lot better than any episode I ever saw. The Mall World thing sounds sort of stupid, but still.
I'd like that.

I'll have do that, i'll get right on it.

That were some pretty cool ideas. Especially the Flying Dutchman would have been great.
Australis's ideas were good, and something to go on.
Thing is, with me, one of my projects got leaked before I actually sent it off, and someone else got a copy, made out I'd copied it off them, and wanted half the profits. It wouldn't have been bought, anyway, but it was absolutely agonising and it really put me off. It took me about six years to write and I was so upset I had to spend the day in bed. That's happened to me about five hundred times in my life. I rang the Samaritans. And, loads of people thought it was hilarious and served me right.
I don't think it will happen again, I doubt it. I haven't got any money worries for a year, so I have time to do these ideas.

If you did the bulk of your work of your projects on your PC, there's ways things can be datestamped for proof of ownership. Send copies off to storage place as well.
If what you're saying is correct, then yes, that person is an asshole, and you do need to watch your back. And there must be something salvageable in a project that took six years to develop.

Well, we do NOW! And I gotta tell you - it makes the line alot more fun to read, too!
Indeed, it does.
Methinks that you exaggerate.
I notice that you edited out your age. Really, isn't it time you grew a pair? Just saying...
If he's telling the truth about having had a project he worked on for six years stolen from him 500 times, he's at least 3,000 years old.
Maybe he's Flint, under yet another alias.
