Parallels Realities

Almost too many to list....but just a few....

1. Explore the universes where the Borg are in the process of conquering the UFP
2. Universe where Riker Commands the Enterprise/Shelby remained first officer
3. Universe where Earth never surived Star Trek IV
 
1. Ishara Yar left Turkana IV with Tasha, but remained a civilian.
2. Riker accepted command of the Drake.
3. The Ferengi seek maximum profit in order to donate more to charity.
4. The Romulan invasion of Vulcan succeeded.
5. A Bajoran from our universe seeing the aggressive alt-Bajorans victimizing anyone in their way.
 
1- All the cast members playing different characters.
2- Lwaxana Troi is captain of the Enterprise.
3- Lore, not evil, has Data's job.
4- Lal lived and is part of the crew.
5- Picard's older brother was the one who entered Starfleet is and is captain.
6- A confident Captain Barclay is in command.
7- The entire crew are Soong-type androids, except Worf (who is supposed to he human) and Data (a Klingon!).
8- Commander Kieran McDuff is a real person and first officer.
9- Jellico is still in command, Data is first officer and Riker was reassigned.
10. Geordi is still a Tarchannen III alien, but retained his human intelligence. Picard is still a cyborg, but not part of the hive mind. Thomas Riker replaced deceased Will Riker. Troi's son Ian lived. Tasha Yar is still alive. Data has a different head, the original lost in ancient San Francisco. Dr. Pulaski is still chief medical officer.
 
A few more I thought of:

-The Romulan/Klingon alliance is alive and well in the 24th century, forcing the Federation to ally itself with such unsavory or diffident characters as the Cardassians, Tholians, even the Sheliak.
-Kira Nerys is Enterprise captain, the first Bajoran in Starfleet. Ben Sisko is her first officer.
-Picard is a pirate who idolizes and patterns his life after French pirate Jean Lafitte, running around in a stolen Klingon bird of prey.

Red Rum!
 
1. A Malcorian crew member in a reality where they openly accepted the First Contact.

2. They never got rid of that big space baby so it still follows the Enterprise around after Geordi figured out how to feed it without compromising the ship's power supply.

3. Worf finds himself aboard the Enterprise C in a reality where it was never destroyed and kept on zipping among the stars well into the 2370s.

4. Data is female and lost her virginity to Worf.
 
1- Macha Hernandez (played by Marina Sirtis) is chief of security and Dr. Crusher's child is Leslie Crusher.
2- One where everyone is the same, but their postions are different. Captain Geordi Laforge, Counselor William T. Riker, Commander Beverly Crusher, Dr. Data, Security Chief Jean Luc Picard, Lt. Cmdr. Guinan...Worf being just a bartender.
 
5. We see a crewmember pee

Or, at least, we get to see where the damn bathrooms are.

Two crewmembers, a man and a woman, are seen exiting the door adjacent to the door heading to the Observation Lounge when Wesley and Mendon talk in the alcove, iirc.

Here's a screencap of the alcove, but I couldn't find one with the people coming out -- maybe it was another episode?

In any case, that other door was marked "Head," which is the naval term for toilet.

Moreover, the open door in Picard's Ready Room, where he ordered his "Earl Gray, Hot" from the replicator, was intended by Andy Probert to be the captain's personal head.

1- Macha Hernandez (played by Marina Sirtis) is chief of security and Dr. Crusher's child is Leslie Crusher.

I like this one. Picard wouldn't be Jean-Luc, but Julian. Riker would be Ryker. Worf would be a Klingon marine not a Starfleet officer. Troi would be played by Denise Crosby and have four breast. Geordi would be in charge of the school children as well as the ship's pilot. Data would've been built by mysterious aliens not Dr. Soong and whose name was chosen because it rhymned with "that-a."
 
Among the ones in the back of my head:

1. One in which Troi never regained her empathic powers after she lost them.
2. Picard heads up Starfleet Academy or the Atantis Project thing and does not come back to the Enterprise.
3. Where O'Brien becomes Chief of Engineering not Geordie.
 
More ideas:

1. Instead of Duras getting the drop on K'Ehleyr, she kicks his butt and gets a full confession out of him. In a last-ditch effort to save himself, he offers to fight Gowron to the death for the leadership.

2. The Klingon fleet captain who wouldn't join Worf and Kurn in supporting Gowron for the leadership, does so. However, he's been bribed by Duras. The captain hates Gowron, but also wants to marry a woman whose family has refused him. Duras offers to make the wedding happen, if the captain ensures that Kurn does eliminate Gowron so Duras doesn't have to.

3. Ensign Sito eventually returns from her undercover mission, saying she was taken captive but supporters of Joret Dal helped her escape. However, "Sito" is actually a genetically altered Cardassian spy.

Ha, that's funny, Worf a bartender! "Today is a good day to drink!" I actually had a thread like that once, with mixups quite similar. I should repost it sometime!

Hey, those sound interesting, esp. that last one. Sito as Seska. Cool.

I always wondered what would TNG be like if they changed cast members as often as Law & Order. So a parallel reality where the officers don't stick around for long assignments, more like the real-life military.

I can see more conflict. Riker makes captain, transfers, then is replaced as Picard's first officer by the bitter Ben Sisko. Or Starfleet forces Picard to give up being captain after the Borg incident because they're concerned about his long-term stability, and replace him with Jellico, and he and Riker are at war but have to learn to work together. Or if Data moves up to first officer and is replaced at Ops by Jadzia Dax or even Kathryn Janeway.

Red Rum!
 
Picard is still a cyborg, but not part of the hive mind.

Oh my...I wonder how the he--and those around him--would've reacted to that?? :cardie:

Now, speaking of the "Parallels" realities...I LOVE how even the tiny glimpses we saw in this episode could so spark the imagination. Heck, I have an entire fanfic series based around one of the alternate universes we've seen--Sigils and Unions: Catacombs of Oralius. It's the story of the universe where the Bajorans and Cardassians are reversed in their roles.

And I should also note it was SO wonderful to see Worf made to grapple with this sort of mental test and do well with it. Like I saw somewhere else, the episode was not about him Being a Klingon!; it was about pushing him into totally unfamiliar (yet familiar) territory and seeing how he'd act.
 
1. There was no Enterprise D, the name having been retired.
2. The Enterprise is a different class ship.
3. The Mirror Universe Enterprise D (An alternate of the MU shown in DS9).

Nothing in the group of pics on page 9, Wesley & Mendon are on the bridge in that group of shots.

trekcore is so $&@*ing slow, but I finally got a look at the other 12 pages, didn't see anything on those either.

You know it must have been another episode or a figment of faulty memory. I just watched the episode and nothing.
