What should the last trek be like?

[Kaziarl]

Well I'm 21 and I think I might have read more books than I've seen movies

Yeah, I think the first "real" book I remember reading was Moby Dick back in 3rd grade.

Not bad at all!

Thanks

I know its almost an unthinkable thing to consider; but what would you want to see for the last trek? If Paramount decided it was time to end the franchise. They gave the opportunity to have a proper goodbye(it could be in the form of the ending of a series or a movie). What would be on your wishlist?

Just easy, to make the most boring episode that even the most hard core Trekkies will think that the future Star Trek is unecessary. Then, Star Trek will finally over and we won't see anything like it again. Because... even the novelist won't write a book of boring story

One boring episode wouldn't bring down a franchise.

Though it would appear Enterprise really tried.

The Enterprise riding off ready for another adventure.

This. That why Turnabout Intruder and All Good Things are the best last episodes, because the story doesn't come to a complete end. The last moments, of the last episode, of the last series should see the ship (Enterprise?) sailing off casually toward their next assignment.

Fade to black, roll the credits.

Yes--that's exactly it. The show is ending, but the adventure is just beginning. And you leave yourself an opening to bring the show back.

Kind of like how Doctor Who ended back in 1989:

“There are worlds out there where the sky is burning, where the sea’s asleep and the rivers’ dream. People made of smoke and cities made of song. Somewhere there’s danger. Somewhere there’s injustice. Somewhere else the tea’s getting cold. Come on Ace, we’ve got work to do.”

buiding on your idea tgirl. Q himself said the voyage never ends. This is a fanboy ending but what if Q appeared at the end of the movie or last series and said something to the effect " Cant you pitifull humans rememeber anything! The voyage never ends." roll credits.

The series is a model of what we should be as a culture. And when we achieve that goal of unity, mutual respect and understanding then only should it end.

And if there is anytime we need this show in production is now. With all the problems in the world today, Trek may not provide the solutions for them, but at least it can provide a forum for which solutions can be tested.

I'll go hug a tree now.

Semi-heretical as this suggestion may be, I'm not sure I have much desire to see the Prime Universe extend beyond the Trek XI future-story. How much more is there really to see out there?

Well, drab as it may be to say this, if we go by "Star Charts", even the Alpha and Beta Quadrants are hardly what I'd called 'explored', so... a lot.

Then there's my dream series: all the five or six major races evolved on separate continents on an M-class planet, and through tall sailing ships, they start interacting... like TNG crossed with Warcraft.

That's incredible and something I've genuinely never thought of. Wow. I love it. I want to write it.

Can't think of an in-story ending of Star Trek. The last days of mankind or what? The Federation?

 

[Quinton O'Connor]

Jarod, I've always wanted to ask you. What is your signature from? It sounds a lot like the end of Nero to me, but is it actual dialogue from something?

Well, if we really and truly had to have an end of Trek, I'd like it to be a series (7 years please!).
Premise: Section 31 during the Romulan War. There would be three teams and each week the episode would feature one team. One for espionage, one for sabotage and the third would track down and eliminate spies.
