What episodes would you like to see revisited?

[JoeCabby]

If the new series is to be set in prime and in the "future" of the currently established Star Trek universe. Are there any episodes you would like to see revisted or at least the story come to another conclusion?

The Voyager episode "False Profits" revisted the TNG episode "The price" and concluded what happened with the Ferengi's who went through the wormhole.

I just finished watching Tin man and always wondered what happened to Tam and Tinman afterwards. I always like to imagine he went crazy and turned into a villain with him and Tinman becoming something like the Crystaline entity.

I mean, I would have liked to see a conclusion to "Lower Decks" but that ship sailed with DS9's end.

I honestly doubt they will revisit any episodes. They will probably only include references, at best. In serialized television, you're essentially telling one long story, and with ten episodes, there's not a lot of time to deviate from that story. And if it is going to be set well after the last episodes of the Prime Timeline, there's not that many things to revisit that would still matter.

However! Tin Man or the Crystalline Entity would be fun. And it might be fun to meet up with the Traveler at some point too. Any of Trek's mostly immortal characters and entities would be interesting. But I get the feeling that they want to retread as little as possible with this show.

None. Let the show stand on its own with its own creative idea. No reason to try and shoehorn in an old episode. Wrath of Kahn is an exception to the rule, revisiting previous episodes usually doesn't work.

Fully agree about letting the show stand on it's own without re-visitations. That being said, if I am playing along, The TNG "Conspiracy" alien threat could be a cool new take on an old, unexplored enemy.

Right! I think it's a bit wacky that they left that thread unexplored in any of the existing sequel spin-offs. Then again, maybe at the time the writers were trying to forget season one of TNG existed.

I wouldn't mind some link up to previous series but only if it feels natural. And this all greatly depends on the time setting of the new series. So I will tell you my opinion after we know more about the settings of the series. Maybe next weekend?

 

[OpenMaw]

None really. I really really hope the series cuts a lot of new ground and avoids retreading continuity. A nod here or a reference there is fine, but I think we can avoid things like a remake of Naked Time or something.

 

[CorporalCaptain]

None.

 

[Ometiklan]

Not that I really want this to happen, but if we are daydreaming, Star Trek could do a return of the Borg proper. No Queen (explain it as an attempt like Locutus to interface with individualist species, now abandoned), no "single point of failure" for ship systems (Voyager's attacks on "the shield generator", "the propulsion matrix", etc.), nothing short of their original portrayal as a force of nature (Q WHo and BOBW I & II). I want their menace, their uncompromsing, no negotation nature back. I want to feel that there is no way to stop them. But then our heroes find a way to win. (presumably non-Deus Ex Machina)

 

[Terok Nor]

The only dangling plot thread I can think of are the aliens from TNG's "Conspiracy". It might be fun to revisit that after the new show has established itself fully. I'd prefer all new storylines though. I'm not interested in remakes or rehashes of old episodes.

 

[Bry_Sinclair]

I just got a flashback of The Naked Now...[shudder]

I think the new series should try to stand on it's own two feet. Of course there will be familiar elements, but I'd rather they try to focus on original stories.

 

[Mudd]

None. Ever.

 

[Visitor1982]

None, except knowing what happened to Dr. Pulaski.

 

[shapeshifter]

What is up with Thomas Riker?

Did Picard and Tomalok ever kiss and make up?

What happened after Janeway spanked the Borg Queen in Endgame?

The missing Equinox crew?

 

[Jedman67]

It'd be fun to see "Mirror Mirror" redone, but it would have to work, not just be shoehorned in.
I'd love to see a full on remake of "The Trouble With Tribbles" but I'm afraid such a classic would be ruined. Part of what made it so awesome was the chemistry of all the actors and William Shatners sheer snark.

None. Let the show stand on its own with its own creative idea. No reason to try and shoehorn in an old episode. Wrath of Kahn is an exception to the rule, revisiting previous episodes usually doesn't work.

STID proved this rule, alas. Ditto for SW:TFA

 

[Starbreaker]

None. The books have done a good job at revisiting nearly every single episode. I don't want this series to be nostalgic. It needs to be fresh and innovative and easy to access (no pun intended) in order to survive.

 

[Tim Walker]

I have to agree, let the new series be fresh/original.

At most, infrequent references to the past.

 

[Jedi Marso]

No revisits of what has come before. Let this series move forward, not backward.

 

[stardream]

I agree. I wouldn't mind a passing reference to something casually...such as we might casually reference some historical happening in real life but apart from that...let's move forward.
