How many times have you seen an episode, thought the show itself was really good... but the ending sucked like a $3,000 vacuum cleaner. Well, this is your chance to declare what you would have changed.
Like all games, there are rules to be observed. They are as follows:
1. You may ONLY alter what occurs after the episode's main action has been resolved. Changing anything earlier is not permitted.
UNACCEPTABLE: In the final sequence of "Reunion", River drops Worf with his phaser moments before he can skewer Duras.
ACCEPTABLE: When Alexander asks Worf if he is his father, Worf realizes that the child will be dishonored if he claims him. He says "No, I am not," then explains that the boy will be sent to live with Khe'lar's relatives, and exits, leaving Alexander alone in the room.
2. No killing or otherwise eliminating characters who are in the opening credits. Recurring characters may be removed, lethally or non.
UNACCEPTABLE: At the end of "The 37's", B'Elanna Torres and six other crew decide to stay with the "37's" at their colony.
ACCEPTABLE: At the end of "The 37's", seven Voyager crew (including disgruntled assistant engineer Lt. Kelly and pregnant Ens. Wildman) decide to stay with the "37's".
3. Screw the reset button. It is entirely acceptable to make major changes. Promotions, demotions, reassignments, break-ups, reconciliations, adding new crew, or new romances (same or opposite sex) are permitted. As long as no main character is removed, anything goes.
UNACCEPTABLE: After "Best of Both Worlds Part II", Riker realizes that with his abilities, he should be in command. Starfleet offers him command of the USS Aldrin, and he accepts. Either Data or Shelby replaces him.
ACCEPTABLE: Starfleet is impressed by Data's successful use of Locutus to hack the Borg and save the Federation. They express their gratitude by awarding him a medal and promoting him to a full commander, but consider him too valuable to reassign.
4. Try to keep it within the parameters of sanity and good taste, and keep it TV-14.
UNACCEPTABLE: The Borg baby from "Collective" actually meets the fate that Kate Mulgrew jokingly said it did (no, I won't repeat it).
ACCEPTABLE: The Borg baby's homeworld was close by. During Janeway's final captain's log, there's a scene where the doctor tenderly leans over and adjusts the sleeping infant's blanket, then taps his combadge and says "Energize", and the baby carrier vanishes.
5. If you are reading this, expect spoilers, obviously. It's about ENDINGS, sheesh. Still, if you're posting anything from Discovery or later, give fair warning. And, I think that "Lower Decks" spoilers are prohibited.
UNACCEPTABLE: At the end of "A Moist Vessel", Ensign Boimler [REDACTED]
Have fun...
