^ A "Jake Sisko: Reporter" show might conceivably work. We know so little about how journalism in Trek's time actually functions...before DS9, closest we ever got was the scene in Generations with three different news networks aboard the Enterprise-B's bridge.
 
"Nelix and Tuvok" - An "Odd Couple"-based show set on a star ship, showing the inevitable clashes between two different species and personalities sharing quarters and duty schedules. "Tuvok! Tuvok! Tuvok!" How long before Tuvok uses the Vulcan Death Grip on Neelix??? Co-staring Harry Kim and Kes. Hoo Boy!

"The Holodeck" Each week, viewers send in their "program" ideas for the Holodeck. The winner is drawn and their program is run and featured as the weekly episode.

"Chakotay" Sad news. Cancelled due to low/no ratings.

"Worf and Son" - The story of a Single, Discommodated Dad and his Teenaged Son trying to find common ground and survival on Earth. Worf is a Star Fleet Battle Instructor, and Alexander is discovering the pleasures and distraction life has to offer a teenager on Earth. Plus, Girls!

"Barclay's World" - nah...too easy! The thing writes itself...
 
"Nelix and Tuvok" - An "Odd Couple"-based show set on a star ship, showing the inevitable clashes between two different species and personalities sharing quarters and duty schedules. "Tuvok! Tuvok! Tuvok!" How long before Tuvok uses the Vulcan Death Grip on Neelix??? Co-staring Harry Kim and Kes. Hoo Boy!

Further complicated by the fact that each time they touch they fuse back into Tuvix.

Kind of surprised nobody has suggested a Riker and Troi spinnoff like in the Titan Novels. Well I, for one, could live without more of Riker, but he definitely has fans.

And in the first episode they get attacked by the forgotten Borg baby and the three abandoned Janeway/Paris salamander babies, all of whom are really, really upset at having been forgotten/left behind!

Of course there would be occasional guest appearances by Q Junior. :devil:
 
"My Favorite Gardener"

This show, about Boothby, of course, follows the hijinks and shenanigans surrounding CadetHood at Star Fleet, and the firm, but caring guidance Boothby shows to those Cadets he deems worthy. Also, the Wrath he Wreaks on the Unworthy Ones, especially when they trample his Denebian Daisies. Rated SF-CG17, for language, floral violence and Octogenerian Partial Nudity.
 
Agent Rand: She's a yeoman by day, required to do little more than serve coffee but in her off hours she's a crack secret agent trying to bring down the forces of Leviathon er, I mean the Orion Syndicate ;)
 
"Tasha, Col. Blake & the Gang"

a Quasi-Reality offering, with the pantheon of Stars and "stars" that have forsaken their First Best Destiny (Only Best Destiny?) Roles for a "Pre-Gravitation Universe" belief that they could and should make it as Top Dogs/Top Dogettes on the Silver Screen/LCD.

Show Treatment, leaked by BluntBabble.com suggests scenes like:

Denise Crosby's double-wide in Encino, her in a "Trek-Con 2003" terry bathrobe, Newport 100 dangling carelessly out of her mouth as she walks us through stills and clips from her Break-Out Role in Red Shoe Diaries and 48 Hours (where she was nominated for a Mammary Award). No Playboy pics...sorry. Finishing with her lifelike appearances in "AMC The Walking Dead".

McClean Stevenson in a fishing hat with lures, big ole' shorts on, fly-fishing in the Illinois River, near where he grew up, in Normal, Il. He speaks wistfully at first of his role in M.A.S.H., how he loved it but could not cotton to being second fiddle to Alan Alda (Hawkeye), and how he ultimately left for the likes of "Match Game", "The McLean Stevenson Show", "Hello, Larry ", and "Good-Bye McLean" (not really a show). Pre-production notes record cost concerns over splicing pieces of his image and dialog together to form a coherent show, as Mr, Stevenson passed away in 1996. Or, On February 28th, 1983.

Other "stars" will share their lives after making decisions to leave established roles for the uncertainty of "more". Some actually refer to their decisions as "Doing a McLean".
 
I would do a number of miniseries that focused on different characters or situations at different times.

Not an entire series, but a 25 part episode.

Something like "The Rise of Kahlest" about Kahlest and the time period he came from. It could be pure, all out Klingon.

Or The Dominion War Chronicles-- this time to get look at all details fans have always wondered about the war.


With shows like the Game of Thrones on now, a spin off about the Klingons would be so cool.

The Klingon society is almost identical to GOT. Great opportunity.
