Star Trek Episodes that would have a good basis for a movie

[Tomalak]

Essentially this https://www.trekbbs.com/threads/yesterdays-enterprise-the-motion-picture-trailer.284079/

I can just picture Shatner relishing being in command of a new crew for the whole movie

I remember thinking the same about not having worfs voice the end of YE..maybe it was thought to be too coincidental? (Worf was the villain in IDWs The Last Generation which would've also made for a good movie)

That's amazing! Exactly what I envisioned actually. Would have made for a terrific film.

There were all kinds of loose ends from the series that should have been addressed in the movies!

The Wrath of Gary Mitchell
The Wrath of Charlie X
The Wrath of Harry Mudd
The Wrath of Cyrano Jones
The Wrath of Miri
The Wrath of Balok
The Wrath of Lazarus
The Wrath of Flint

The possibilities are almost endless.

Kor

The Wrath of Surak
The Wrath of Spot

 

[OtherGene]

The Wrath of Surak
The Wrath of Spot

The Wrath Of The Rathtars (a crossover movie).

 

[Nyotarules]

The Wrath of the redshirts

 

[Peach Wookiee]

The Wrath of the redshirts

Oooh, a non-cyborg zombie flick!

 

[Six of Twelve]

The wrath of Kes. Oh, wait, they already did that (badly) with Fury

 

[Scotchy]

Garth of Izar (maybe in the JJ-verse) - they could tell the story of where it all went wrong, starting on Antos. A shape-shifting starship Captain that is losing his mind could be interesting.

 

[Tesophius]

The Inner Light
Cogenitor
The Cage
Emanations, but without the religious twist

So many to choose from. But that's not what the masses want to see, unfortunately.

I've always thought "Arena" would have been a great episode to link to the big screen.....having the Gorn as villains in a movie would have been pretty satisfying. Explore people's fear of lizards added with modern special effects and could be great. Hell, we could see this in the Kelvin Timeline.

"All Good Things" would have been a great TNG movie and you could even adapt it to being a TOS movie. Have Shatner play old KIrk and Pine play current and younger KIrk. Replace Q with Trelane.

Perhaps not an entire movie, but All Our Yesterdays seems to have left something implied but unsaid. In the end Mr. Atoz is seen fleeing to the past. This could explain the presence of more than one of him earlier. He's old, probably has no desire to start a new life, and has simply decided to finish his days in service to the library. So when the end comes, he travels back to the start of that service, and each Atoz in the library is himself living his own career over again.

Have you played the 2013 Kelvin-verse video game, or at least watched the cut scenes? http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Star_Trek_(video_game)

Year of Hell, but I say keep the reset button ending - any reset button ending is excused when it involves kamikazeing your ship into the button.
Yesterday's Enterprise - or just bringing out the Enterprise-C for a film. I like to imagine it as a sort of Starfleet Flying Dutchman equivalent, appearing out of holes in spacetime and bringing paradoxes and woe in its wake.

Pretty much any episode with Q. Why he was never used as the antagonist in a Next Generation movie, I will never understand.

I'm kinda glad they never used him, as much as his character was amusing, I never bought into the concept of the continuum, I thought it was a step too far, way too far for Trek in fact, and I suspect the powers that be probably thought the cinema going public would feel the same too. The Genesis device has nothing on these guys.
