Is posting twice in a row no longer permitted?

First, don’t derail the thread with off-topic comments or questions. If you must, use the PM function.

Second, since you’ve already put it out there, I need to respond. The answer is that posting twice in a row is not the same as bumping your own thread.

Moving on.
 
"Why Beholdest Thou The Mote”
The Enterprise is sent on a goodwill mission to induct a new member world into the Federation. The planet lies on the border between the Klingon Empire and the federation so securing their membership is strategically important. During the lead up the crew increasingly question whether the world is ready technologically and culturally for membership. Can they overlook these things in the face of possibly driving them into an alliance with the Klingons.

Next episode: “If Footmen Tire You”
 
“If Footmen Tire You”: The Enterprise attends an urgent conference on the potential threats posed by a species that is experiencing rapid cultural and technological change without any apparent interference on any outsider's part. Feeling that her concerns are not being taken seriously, the conference's lead sociologist traps members of the Enterprise's delegation and other attendees in a simulation projecting the species' predicted advances in the next 25 years. Can they make it out alive?

(BTW, it's a quote from Jeremiah 12:5, "If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses? and if in the land of peace, wherein thou trustedst, they wearied thee, then how wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan?"

I chose to imagine a story where the question is "you think it's hard now? what if you have to deal with something even worse?"

Next episode: "Pandora"

"Short End of the Stick" - Through flashbacks, we see the accident that injured Christopher Pike and the weeks that followed as a chair-bound Pike wrestles with memories of the life he has lost. A clip show that does not feature the main cast except for old footage of Spock.

Next time on Star Trek: One Touch of Nature Makes the Whole World Kin
 
"One Touch of Nature Makes the Whole World Kin" - The Enterprise attends the trial of a sentient humanoid alien who is charged with causing the death of an alien research vessel crew. Everyone views him as a monster and a villain, except for the lone survivor, a Starfleet observer aboard the ship, who fell in love with him while recovering from her wounds. She may be the key to saving his life, but there's just one problem: Starfleet refuses to let her testify on his behalf. Will he be condemned to death (the alien species' penalty for the infraction), or can Kirk ensure her testimony, allowing others to see his better nature, and reveal their own darkness of heart (prejudices)?

Next episode: "Will-o'-the-wisp" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Will-o'-the-wisp

I'm not sure that would have flown back in TOS days. :) Still, I suppose it could have been a spin-off attempt for something.

Look, I appreciate that you created this fun thread and want it to keep going, but I’ve spoken to you twice before about bumping your own threads.

These forums operate on a market economy. If people are interested the thread will stay up and active. If not it will sink off the front page to make room for others.

I am asking you not to do this again.

Thanks
 
Will-o'-the-wisp

Kevin Reilly disapears from an away mission. When he returns he claims to have been kidnapped by fairies. At first the senior crew believe it’s just fanciful delusions based on his Irish heritage it soon becomes apparent something is happening when multiple members of the crew are missing time and the ship is suffering from technical problems.

Next episode title: Lost Sons of Kronos
 
''Lost Sons of Kronos''

After a Klingon spy ship's crew is accidentally brain-warped into temporary space dementia, their leader (Roddy McDowall or Orson Welles if he's unavailable) decides to draft Sulu and Chekov as involuntary draftees. This will involve much Russian screaming which makes the mirror-universe agony booth look like patty-cake. In order to rescue SulKov (time is short), Kirk decides to undergo Klingon surgery from Bones before S&C finish their more extensive versions. Meanwhile, on the bridge, Spock and McCoy squabble over which no-names get to fill in that week for navigation and the helm until the three yellowshirts beam back. But first, a ten-minute fight scene between Shatner and Roddy directed with great ferocity.

Next episode title: DOST THOU FALL UPON THY FACE?*

*(first used in ROMEO AND JULIET, I believe)
 
DOST THOU FALL UPON THY FACE?: At a diplomatic meeting, a green ensign on her first assignment commits an embarrassing faux pas with a member of the planet's alien race, leading to a forced marriage neither she nor her alien counterpart wish, yet they must play along to stall until Kirk and Uhura can find a way to get her out of it.

Next episode: "Bird Thou Never Wert" (https://poets.org/poem/skylark)
 
Bird Thou Never Wert

A chance encounter on shore leave while the Enterprise is being repaired in space dock leaves the crew to confront their pasts. Kirk enlists Sulu and Spock in a friendly challenge against an old rival from the academy. Scotty butts heads with the stations chief engineer while repairing Enterprise. Dr McCoy reconnects and strikes up a whirlwind relationship with his estranged ex wife, realizing their relationship is sustainable they part ways once more, leaving them amicable to one another.
(I was in the mood for a slice of life)

Next episode title: Tempest
 
"Tempest" - Enterprise gets lost in a violent space storm, while searching for a shuttle carrying an ambassador's missing family. They locate the scuttled craft and find evidence of foul play implicating someone on board Enterprise. Is there more to the storm than meets the eye?

Next episode: "The Nevermore Chamber"

THE NEVERMORE CHAMBER
A dozen Enterprise security guards and 88 equally dispensable crewmen make the mistake of activating a dangerous device on Media Oblitera Seven. It instantly converts them into printed magazine matter with their images intact. Spock finds it fascinating, which annoys McCoy. The doctor is equally torn when curious Spock endangers his own life in a futile attempt to bring the lost crew back to living three dimensions. The doctor contemplates life without Spock, which only horrifies him halfway. Where's Alfred's three-dimensional-bat-restorer when you need one? Optional cameo by Burt Ward as the late Ensign Goshyes.

Next time: THUS WITH A KISS I DIE. (R&J)
 
THUS WITH A KISS I DIE - A terminally ill Starfleet veteran breaks out of the medical facility where he is being cared for and steals a shuttle, desperate for a last glimpse of his beloved. The only problem is, she's a deep cover agent in Klingon space, and his desire may compromise her mission. The Enterprise senior staff attempts to intercept him on a Klingon planet and preserve the integrity of the mission.

Next episode: "Another Man's Poison"

(BTW, I've started a similar thread on the TNG board.)

"Another Man's Poison"
During a fun chat in the rec room, the Enterprise bridge officers are experimenting with trying edible things from other cultures, that they'd never had before, when we find out that Spock has a reaction to McCoy's pineapple juice (which he's never heard of) that makes him act drunk, but things take an unexpected turn when it begins to become a life-threatening allergic reaction, that requires dire medical treatment, with a Vulcan blood donor, that Kirk must track down in time.

Next Episode: "The Comet Chasers"
