I'm going to do a poll for every season. The winner of each season will meet in a final poll to determine the episode we most would have liked to have seen followed up. I did not, therefore, include every episode. For example, episodes like 'Datalore' would be expanded upon later. I tried to focus on isolated episodes that were really not referenced later in the series.

Re: Poll:Which Season One Episode Would You Like to Have Seen Followed
I voted for "11001001" because I really loved the Bynars and Minuet (though Minuet was touched on in "Future Imperfect" & in "Shades of Grey"?), and the idea of the Bynars messing with the holodeck - and what that could all mean in later stories.
I would have voted for "Conspiracy" as my top choice for sure, but I felt that the Post DS9 novels did that brilliantly, so I'm actually grateful that Next Gen never touched on the story again.

I chose Conspiracy. It was, IIRC, made with the purpose of being followed up on, so I think it was a great missed opportunity. It could have been interesting if somehow, logically, the invaders were part of the Dominion or something. But, other than some follow ups in books (which I've never read), we'll never know.

I was torn between 11001001 and Conspiracy. I chose Conspiracy because those aliens seemed intriguing.

"Conspiracy," without question. That one begged for a follow up!

I too voted for 'Conspiracy'. Its a shame those parasite beings we never used again. an episode involving them and delving into their origins would have been interesting.

I went with the bugs too! It had a great Invasion of the Body Snatchers feel to it and they werent a bunch of humaniod aliens with bumps on their foreheads...yet they were a nasty little threat.
Would've been nice to see them, even see them face the Borg with the Feds in the middle. Two Hive minds..different approaches to them. Could've been neat.

Re: Poll:Which Season One Episode Would You Like to Have Seen Followed
I too voted for "Conspiracy". It's definitely one of the better episodes of Season 1, and the ending pretty much screamed "Follow-Up!".
Actually, considering that we don't really know how far away the parasites' home space was, I always thought they could have even made a follow-up episode on Voyager if they'd wanted to. Vonstadt's idea of the parasites battling the Borg with the Feds caught in the middle actually kind of sounds like the whole Species 8472 scenario, so it could have worked. Maybe they could have even been used in the place of 8472 (although I did kind of like those fluidic space badasses... perhaps the parasites could have been a different larval stage of 8472, or a species that had a symbiotic relationship with them... Regardless, there are possibilities there, IMO).

Re: Poll:Which Season One Episode Would You Like to Have Seen Followed
Conspiracy? That got me hooked on the whole Trek concept. I was only 7 or 8 when I saw that episode. Blew me away.
I would love to have seen a follow-up.
SUPPOSEDLY there was something to do with the Borg or something....I'm not sure.

Re: Poll:Which Season One Episode Would You Like to Have Seen Followed
Also, another idea I wonder about is how the Bynars would have interacted with the Borg. Has anything ever been created about that? I'd even look at fan work, if it's good.
In all honesty, I next to never read Star Trek books. Since this one is supposed to be good, I might give it a try. What's it called?

Re: Poll:Which Season One Episode Would You Like to Have Seen Followed
Conspiracy is the only real answer. It was one of the few episodes in Season 1 that even required a follow-up. Maybe they could have done an episode later on where the E-D had to contain a Federation ship that had been infested with the 'bluegills' before they could start a larger infestation of the Federation like we had in the original episode. Or something.

Re: Poll:Which Season One Episode Would You Like to Have Seen Followed
FYI- The 'bluegills' were later revealed in the DS9-Relaunch novels to be genetically modified versions of the regular Trill symbionts. The novels had the members of Kurlan society (an ancient civilization mentioned occasionally on TNG) modifying the symbionts genetically to make them resistant to a virus. After years of modifications, the parasites became what we saw in TNG, and the Trill killed 4 million of their own people to try and contain them (which failed).
