Pitch terrible ideas for episodes

"The Road Home" (VOY, ep. 2 of Season 1)

Voyager finds a wormhole back to the Alpha Quadrant right after leaving the Caretaker, which destabilizes after they go through. The series ends after 2 episodes with Voyager safely home. The End.
 
"You Can't Suit Everyone" (VOY)

The Doctor changes his matrix so he is sporting the updated Starfleet uniform, which sparks a debate aboard Voyager about whether to switch to the new uniforms or not. Seven and Icheb remark how it is trivial and Seven gives a heartfelt speech about something to do with humanity. Neelix and Naomi also present alternate uniform ideas. In the end, everything is Reset as they all decide to receive new uniforms personally from Starfleet in the AQ.
 
"Doctor, Professor..." (VOY, series finale)

In the real series finale (TNG VOY crossover), Voyager arrives back in the AQ, but Professor Moriarty steals the Doctor's Mobile Emitter and wreaks havoc on the crews of both Voyager and the Enterprise E!! Then, Q shows up and takes the Mobile Emitter away, thus leaving both sentient holograms once again freedomless, or maybe he makes them both into real people... whatever
 
"Micro Machine" (ENT)

Some bizarre something results in the Shuttle Pod (with Trip and T'Pol inside) to be shrunk to the size of a fly. Coincidentally, Dr. Phlox has a shipment of biting flies arrive, but the flies escape. The Shuttle Pod has to fight off the flies (with its phaser cannon) while also attracting the attention of the crew, who keeps swatting at them because all the other flies bite!!! Since Phlox is the only one who doesn't swat the flies, the Pod must somehow make it to sickbay (but there are sooo many obstacles!), where Phlox recognizes the Pod and they somehow fix the problem. And T'Pol probably mind-melds with a fly, too, and as a result buzzes and tries to bite Trip.
 
"The Day After Yesterday" (TOS) On an away mission searching for a missing expedition, Kirk, Spock, and McCoy find themselves trapped in a deep underground cavern full of strange crystals. They soon find a group of beautiful women and angry men. Kirk falls in love with the most beautiful of the women, but the men imprison Kirk, Spock, and McCoy for a couple years. They eventually learn that the inhabitants are descendants of the missing expedition and reason with their captors. Oh and time is dilated on the planet, so after being imprisoned for a couple years, they return and have only been gone for a day.
 
"The Guy Within" (VGR)

A transporter accident turns Harry Kim into two separate entities, each having polar opposite halves of his personality.

Nobody can tell which is which. At all. Ever.
 
"Disruptor Force" (DS9)

Garak is shocked when an old enemy visits the station - a Bajoran law officer who now wants to hunt him down. With the station on lockdown, Garak must hide in the service tunnels, slowly going crazier and crazier. Clint Eastwood guest stars as "Oinker." Music by Lalo Schiffrin.
 
"Ambassadors and Lovers (TNG)": While on a routine mission to study a gaseous anomaly, the Enterprise receives orders to pick up a Tarcosian Ambassador from Starbase 112. The Ambassador is on his way to complete delicate negotiations allowing his homeworld to join the Federation. To further complicating the matter, Picard is reminded that he *must not* make eye contact with the Ambassador, serve him eggs for breakfast, and that his quarters *MUST* have all available Pay-per-view channels, lest the Ambassador's ancestors be insulted and negotiations be broken off. While Picard is sweating bullets over how to properly administer a foot massage to the Ambassador, Riker is busy having a threesome with two Tarcosian female assistants.
 
Forbin, great one on "The Guy Within"! Even before I saw your punch line I was thinking "What would be the difference?".

TNG: Illusions

Barclay wakes up, in his quarters to learn the Enterprise is battling Romulans and the entire senior staff had been killed. So it is up to him to save the day, by keeping in touch with Wesley at the Academy for advice. But he fails to save the ship. Seconds before the imminent warp core breach, his combadge chimed. Geordi's voice starltes him, yelling at him for not reporting to duty. He had fallen asleep during one of his Deanna Troi Love holonovels on the Holodeck.
 
"The Village on The Edge of Eternity" TOS

Scotty drinks a cup of coffee into which he has mistakenly put a teaspoon of powdered dilithium crystals instead of sugar. This brings on a bout of temporary extreme paranoia, during which he escapes from the Enterprise to the surface of nearby planet, which happens to have a time portal on it the shape of...........a giant doughnut. He is never seen again. Meanwhile back on board the Enterprise, McCoy has become a full blown cordrazine addict, so Kirk and Spock have to visit the planet, where they recruit a new doctor and engineer from the inhabitants of a technologically advanced civilisation linked to the time portal.......................................Harlan Ellison eat your heart out!!!!

"The Cold and The Beautiful" (TNG)

The Enterprise encounters a pre-warp world that is on the verge on an ice-age due to carbon emissions and global warming from the local humanoid species. The extinction of hundreds of species is at risk, including several innocent, intelligent creatures (non-humanoid). Picard is confronted with the ethical decision of intervening or not.
 
"Kitchen Sink" (ENT)

While negotiating a treaty, Archer falls for an alien woman from a species that descended from gazelles. Meanwhile, the ship encounters a lost Ferengi shuttlepod with a Ferengi, a Cardassian, a Romulan and a Bajoran aboard, Trip manages to fix their engine and send them on their way while neglecting to ask any of them what their people are called or where they're from, or making any records of the encounter at all.

On the planet, Archer contracts a disease that makes humans act drunk and act out their fantasies. Phlox finds a cure, but neglects to write it down or make any records of the event.

Just then, the Ferengi pod reappears from a transwarp conduit looking very different. The three inhabitants have been assimilated into the Borg collective, and attempt to capture the Enterprise. Trip kills them by blowing himself up. No one manages to find out how they got to look the way they did, and no one makes any records of the encounter. Oh, and no one noticed the transwarp conduit or figures out what it was.

The Romulan survived the explosion, and a Romulan BoP decloaks behind the Enterprise so no one notices it, picks up their Borgified comrad, and cloaks again.

When Archer retires to his cabin for the evening (while tossing a piece of cheese to Porthos), Will Riker suddenly appears. He tells Archer that he's come back thru time using something called the guardian of forever to warn him about Space Nazis and the Xindi superweapon. Daniels appears from the 30th century at that moment as well, yells at Riker about spoiler warnings, and the two kill each other in a macho Ambu Jitsu game.

Archer decides to go sleep in sick bay where it's quiet, and has a dream that T'Pol wants to experiment with his dick.
 
"Boot Camp" (Voy)

The Voyager crew detect an object on long range sensors, upon closer inspection they find a space ship in the shape of a Wellington boot floating in space two times larger than Voyager. Sensors detect a breathable atmosphere and so an away team comprising of Janeway, Chakotay, Tuvok, Neelix, Kim, Paris, Torres and Seven beam over to investigate. As the team arrive the wellington boot shoots of at warp speed leaving Voyager behind. The away team realise they left the bridge empty with nobody in charge of Voyager, with no help coming from Voyager they start to blame eachother. After several minutes of finger pointing Seven determines the ship isn't really a wellington boot, it was merely a disguise to lure them inside, the ship is infact a boot camp ship belonging to species 1234 of Punani Prime, designed to lure people inside and force them to train as soldiers in a war against species 4321 of Boyaka prime, the ship becomes automated and begins forceing the away team to train as soldiers by use of holographics. Eventually after several days of training they decide they can't take no more. Torres manages to hopwire the wellington boot and turn it around and set course back to Voyager.
 
TNG: Patrick
Picard wakes up, in a mental institute in 20th Century New York state as a washed out actor named Patrick Stewart who lost his mind.
 
"Catnappers" (VOY)

At the Pathfinder Project, Neelix (Reg's cat) escapes into the lab just before the next data stream is sent. Somehow, he steps on a transporter pad and his pattern is accidentally transported to Voyager with the data stream. Meanwhile, Voyager has encountered the descendants of a species of jackals that built ancient Egypt and worshipped cats. At first, the species does not allow Voyager to cross their space, until they learn that a cat is onboard. The cat is worshipped and the Voyager crew receive all kinds of luxuries. But, as Voyager prepares to leave, they find that Neelix (cat) has been catnapped! Voyager is nearly destroyed in a battle to retrieve Reg's cat. The cat is rescued and Voyager continues on its way and, in Voyager tradition, the cat is never seen again on the show.
 
"Heat" [ENT]

The NX-01 receives a distress call from a civilization that's slightly more advanced than Earth is now. The system's sun is undergoing part of its normal billions of years cycle that is causing the temperature to rise on all the planets in the system. The civilization explains that despite all the environmental guilt-tripping and early theories that they were causing their own planet to warm, global temperatures have failed to fall. a decade ago they pulled their heads out of their asses and realized that the sun was causing it, and embarked on a project to teraform their sister planet, which according to their calculations should remain cool enough to support life, should a habitable atmosphere be developed in time. Anyway, their attempts at teraforming have been very slow, as has their development of ships capable of moving every man, woman, and child along with as many plant and animal species as possible to their neighboring planet, so they are begging every advanced alien ship passing by for help. Naturally Archer decides not to help them and leaves them to their fate after giving a speech about gazelles and playing god.
