Small things you'd've liked to've happened in TNG

^I say establishing their in the same universe (even if it's just Quark doing it) is a proper crossover.

And I say (believe, decree, command, preach from the mountaintops, bellow while striking my chest) that a full-fledged team-up between TNG and DS9 would have been more proper-er.
 
...A proper TNG/DS9 crossover would have been great too.
IIRC They had a few of those.

I can't speak for TheSeeker, but a PROPER crossover would feature the leads, not just a short cameo meeting of Quark, Bashir and Data.

A two part episode with Picard and Sisko. And both whole crews working together. That's my definition of proper.

Yes, that's exactly what I meant. Seeing the two teams work together with mixed crew away teams and whatnot would have been great to see onscreen.

^I say establishing their in the same universe (even if it's just Quark doing it) is a proper crossover.

They established that with the first episode of DS9. It still wasn't a proper crossover in my opinion.
 
The little cameos between the two shows were neat, but I'd have loved to see a proper crossover story, with characters from both shows as the antagonist of the story.
 
Yes to almost everything above. That's exactly what I meant by a proper crossover story: Maybe Sela hatches some big plot with Dukat. Picard and Sisko on the bridge of the Enterprise or at Ops on DS9. Crusher and Bashir solving some medical mystery. Data and Dax on an away mission in the Gamma Quadrant. You know...a real crossover.
 
Let them walk past the cetacean department while they deliver some boring expositionary dialogue.

Have a look at the main shuttle bay.

Stuff like that would have been nice and possible in a film like Generations.

MAIN SHUTTLEBAY - One of the biggest and most interesting things on the entire ship and we only got a small glimpse inside the doors in 'Cause and Effect'. I hated those low budget mini bays we kept seeing- the doors didn't remotely match the hull shape and the nacelles should have been visible at the filming angles used.
 
Yes, based on the blueprints for the E-D and some of Probert's concept art we really missed out on some amazing sets. If I was casual 3D artist that is some of the stuff I would try to recreate.
 
Well, if we ever have an anthology or all animation trek--maybe we will see some whitefire designs fleshed out.
 
I would have liked to have seen the poor Ensign assigned to cleaning up everyone's quarters after the ship gets rocked hard, like in "Tin Man." Imagine being the guy having to arrange all of Picard's books on his shelf, Worf's arsenal of weapons, the arboretum, the candles in Guinan's quarters, etc.
 
^it wouldn't be an ensign... Officers don't do cleaning :)

Besides I don't think anybody cleans Picard's quarters. He's too private to have a maid.
 
^ It wouldn't be an enlisted person, either... the ship supposedly cleans itself!

"Well good for the bloody ship!"

:)

There must also be an Ensign who's job it is to clean up all the semen that is left behind whenever Geordi uses the Holodeck to get laid.
 
For Tom Riker to not have had a beard.
Frakes could have grown the beard back over the summer break, so film all the Will scenes, then shave clean, then film all the Tom scenes. It would have been great.

Doesn't work that way since the crew tries to get all the shots on a given set in one block so they don't have to move equipment and all all, and since there are splitscreen shots of both Rikers, it wouldn't be practical to do what you're suggesting.

Not to mention the inside of the main shuttlebay and cetaceans, which we never, ever saw.

Why would you want to see the inside of cetaceans? :p
Maybe Avro's real name is Jonah? ;)

While we never see such a person, I would imagine that Picard does have a yeoman. Picard's time is simply to valuable for his to be occupied with life's little trivial activities.


:)
 
Someone to listen to music that wasn't classical or jazz.

Someone to play something that actually looked like fun on the holodeck.

Klingons and Romulans that look different to the incredibly generic and stupid long hair/perm/armour and bowl cut/shoulder pads prefab designs.

Something to establish whether or not Klingons still had subject races in the 24th century.
 
^Some of the stuff we saw on holodeck during the TNG era did look fun to me. It's based on personal taste

What do you consider fun to use on the holodeck?
 
Dixon Hill and that phaser target practice range we see the crew use (Picard, Riker, Worf, and Guinan IIRC) looked fun to me.
 
I'd come up with a holoprogram about hiking the Appalachian trail, or what would become it, during the Jurassic- it would have been like hiking the Himalayas.
 
Maybe Worf could have mixed it up a bit. We see him listening to a lot of Klingon opera, perhaps he'd have a taste for Heavy Metal. Lots of songs about battles and violence. Something like Saxon or Iron Maiden.
