Spoilers What other "special episodes" do you want to see on SNW?

Speculating for S3 I'd like to see a comedy with each character experiencing wild misadventures, mistaken identities etc. on shore leave where it ends with the trope "what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas"except in a later episode it definitely did not stay in Vegas.

 

The Enterprise finds a uncharted planet with the Jupiter 2 intact with everyone still in the freezing tubes,no record of the ship is in the history books as the Jupiter 2 was built from reversed engineered parts from the Roswell crash.

 

Have them find a old NX class like Columbia in the books.

 

If they ever did an episode where Will Riker was messing around with SNW era holodeck sims, would that make too many people upset? As long as it wasn't a finale?

 

I can actually really see another crossover episode with DIS and PIC.

And I hope it's not a 1:1 crossover like with Lower Decks, but a multi-series crossover event with all of them coming together on one show.

Would actually be really interesting as both other series will have ended by then, so like a post-credit finale for them.

 

Why not?

I''m fine with the Borg showing up. Hell. I'm fine if Pike talk about the Caretaker if they had known about him for a while...

 

Because "Q Who", that's why not.

 

I want a black and white noir episode.

 

All Q Who tells us was that Picard and Data knew nothing about them. Doesn't mean there couldn't have been an encounter in the 23rd. There might have been a reason for Picard and Data not knowing about them and the Enterprise's database not letting them know, even if Pike encountered them. Section 31 involvement, or just regular Starfleet Intelligence, memory wipe after a wormhole into the Delta Quadrant, etc.

 

Set on Cheron.

 

Holy cow yes!

 

According to Death Wish, the Q who became Quinn was involved in saving Riker's ancestor in the Civil War so they were in and out of humanity over the years but we didn't know what Q are/were at the time.

So they just have to keep any identifying bits to be when the main cast aren't around. But a Trelane type character who causes mayhem and then, after the story is done, maybe gets separated and chastised by Jon DeLancie alone in a scene might be fun.

 

We were talking about the Borg, not Q

 

I think most of us are unable to come up with something that is any good, but my 2 cents: just like TNG had the show where Deanna woke up as a Romulan - sorry i rarely remember episode names - an episode from the alien point of view showing an Enterprise encounter over something (territorial dispute?) is sorely overdue.

TOS examples: The other side of Cestus 3. Why the Gore had to take serious action versus the Federation ignoring their boundary lines. The other side of Errand of Mercy. The Klingon empire is being surrounded. The other side of (god forbid) The Alternative Factor.

For SNW: Romulan preparation that leads to the attack on the outposts, maybe. 100% cloaked ship checking out Enterprise and Federation capabilities (what, they just guessed and showed up?) The Borg seeing the Enterprise and ignoring it as too primitive - like the Kazon.

Let's see the broader universe where there is less black and white, and more grey.

 

Yes. In Balance of Terror it was clearly a scouting mission. They even said as much. Which is why Quality of Mercy is pretty silly. Especially when you set it during Balance of Terror.

A vast fleet at the Neutral Zone where the Balance of Terror ship is the smallest and weakest ship makes Decius' statement that they are the Praetor's "proudest and finest flagship" not only delusional but actually mentally deficient.

 

And to cause a war.
COMMANDER: I think you do. No need to tell you what happens when we reach home with proof of the Earthmen's weakness. And we will have proof. The Earth commander will follow. He must. When he attacks, we will destroy him. Our gift to the homeland, another war. (emphasis added).

Fits with Decius quite well, actually. He violates his Commander's orders, and is a proud man, vastly overconfident.

 

Yes. If they could prove they could win it. Because they didn't know.

There's "vastly overconfident" (which he was) and then there is "You do know that there are 40 ships that are five to six time larger and more powerful than this one, right? And also, they're right over there."

 

The Commander seemed pretty certain they would have it.

So, hubris?

Because that is Decius as a character to a T.

 

Yes. Because they've already almost completed the mission. They've blown up several outposts and they think they're about to take down as Earth ship.

By that reasoning Decius must think that HE'S the Praetor.

So, Romulan high command has a huge ass fleet sitting on the border. They send their puniest ship with their least effective cloaking device to test Earth's defences. This pissant little ship doesn't make it home. "Ohhhh noes! Call off the invasion! The Earth ships must be too powerful!!!" Whaaaa?
