What episode would you want them to "remake"?
- Thread starter Sabataage
- Start date
Let... me... say... it... real... slow... for... you...
The use of the Prime Directive as a 'catch-all' for dealing with any interstellar species and their issues was done by the writers of Star Trek: The Next Generation.
The creation of the Prime Directive dates to the episode The Return of the Archons.
By the definition used in the original series:
Always love when people attribute facts to elitism.
That society had already been corrupted by the arrival of S.S. Beagle.
As to Landru, THEY had been corrupted by the arrival of the U.S.S. Archon.
What about "A Private Little War"?
"Friday's Child"?
"The Apple"? (and WHO'S the Snake in that one?)
Still, General Order 1
Kirk was in so much shit, they made him an Admiral!
There
Awesomenous!! I choose to beleive that too!
Vulcan is gone....but begs the Question--
What is ponn far to become?
Seems to me the Vulcans no longer have that luxury....

Kirk made Admiral because he wasn't the "rule-breaker" the later productions made him out to be. I'm not sure there is ever a clear-cut case of him breaking the Prime Directive based on the information given to us in The Original Series.
Obviously he was never tried for a violation.
The closest he came to a straight violation was on Gamma Trianguli VI in The Apple, but in The Return of the Archons it is revealed that Prime Directive only applied to "living, growing" cultures.
Which you could clearly make the case that the culture on Gamma Trianguli VI was not.
So there is never really a clear cut violation during Kirk's five-year mission in command of the Enterprise.
Exactly! Why rehash old stories? I don't mind using characters or influences from the prime universe, but I hope they make the new stories new and original. I thought that was the point of the reboot anyway!

If you're not up to the challenge, do your research.
Otherwise, Shut the f&^$ up

What the hell, dude? I was replying to the first two posts in this thread, as indicated by the use of the "quote" feature. I was not replying to any of your posts or anyone else's who was attempting to "enjoy what might have been". Please continue to enjoy whatever you were enjoying!
There is no "challenge " I am not up to because I didn't know this was a challenge. What "research" are you talking about? I read the OP and the reply I quoted in my reply. I was merely agreeing with the first reply to the OP. I read it as a literal question of what episodes would we "like them to remake". I thought the OP was hoping that really would remake episodes based on the language used, not just "let's pretend for the fun of it" "what if" scenerios. Go ahead and enjoy your what ifs!
There is no need to get all nasty. It sounds to me like you have personal issues that need addressed by a professional counselor to just fly off the handle like that for no good reason. Does using irate language with strangers on message boards somehow make you feel better about your life? If so, my heart goes out to you.
I here am new, and I come in peace.

Heh. Welcome, I guess. Sorry about that, we don't all fly off the handle without provocation.

Kirk must have missed that day; he was dealing with Koybiashu Maru (my spelling SUCKS!!) Kobiashu (?)
Who the f#^% cares--Kirk beat the no-win scenario---Eat THAT Starfleet!

Uncle Rogi, a few things:
Next, you've made a number of posts in this thread which contain mangled quote tags, and that messes up the quote attributions. I've corrected several of your posts for this already, but have a look at the following example and note the bit I've placed in bold:
These three consecutive responses by you could have been combined into a single post by making use of the Multi-Quote function. Under ordinary circumstances, you should try to avoid posting more than twice in a row.

As I attempt to quote this post, do you see how your words seem to be credited to Whill and his words to number6? That's because of the broken quote tag you see bolded. Please take a little more care when quoting; that will make it a lot easier for others to follow the conversation.
Oh, and this bit?
Please refrain from telling anyone to "shut the f&^$ up" unless it's crystal-clear to all parties involved that you're joking--it wasn't clear here, as evidenced by Whill's reply--and you'll want to avoid altogether saying "shut the f&^$ up" and meaning it, as that might be deemed actionable under the board rules.
Edit:
Rogi, I've merged your triple post into one, and I think I've got all the quotes sorted out so they read as posted by the same people who actually wrote them. Try to keep things neat, OK?

Thanks for the welcome and reasurance. I love Trek, and I haven't given up on this forum yet.
If I had to choose an episode to be remade I'd love to have the "Doomsday Machine" remade. I've seen some of the TOS-R episodes and I think this one would look even better on the bigscreen. 
Or perhaps as a second choice "The Ultimate Computer", as my then 8 year old mind was facinated with this one.

Balance of Terror really is the best option.
But I sort of agree with the whole "no remakes" things, but they could sill borrow from it.
I actually think if they play it with the whole Run Silent Run Deep angle, to change it around. Say, there's a SF captain (maybe an old friend of Pike's) who lost his ship during Nero's attack, gets another and seeks revenge on the Rommies.
So he would be the one attacking their outposts to try to bait them into to crossing the NZ. Kirk is sent after him and gets tangled up with the Rommie commander. Then you'd have the whole camaraderie of honorable combat angle going with the other captain as the counter-point.
Or, since it's a Paramount venture (and revenge for Trek V) go the Trek does Red October route. Have the Romulan commander actually be a Reman (Captian Remius?) who's given the state-of-the art cloak, but instead his defection is only a ruse to goad the Feds and Rommies into war to occupy the Rommies while the Remans fight for their freedom.
Then take elements from the Mutara battle and the one from "Starship Down" and just play it up. Heck, go full-on deflector-as-sonar, low power, super suspenseful, awesome.

And quite frankly the material of Balance of Terror is way to intelligent for the type of Trek movie Abrams/Orci/Kurtzman/Lindelof want to make.
under that logic the guys who originally made TOS shouldn't have touched TOS.

Lieutenant Commander
Just keep telling yourself that, kiddo.
Anyway, I stand by my suggestion of space hippies redone as creepy sex/suicide cult. Still, I'd much prefer they use their own ideas and come up with something new and (hopefully) anomaly free.
I rest my case.
Which "case" are you resting? Because Char Aznable's idea for re-imagining "The Apple" has nothing to do with anything Abrams/Orci/Kurtzman/Lindelof come up with for the next movie, which was the gist of your quote Char was responding to in the first place:
