If the star trek series went to a 4rth season what would u of lied to have seen?>
what would u of liked to see n in a fourth season?
- Thread starter lordsofelsewhen
- Start date
If TOS had gone to a fourth season it means that they had more success in the previous seasons to justify a fourth.
From that then maybe the budget wouldn't have been slashed.
So...
- some other non human Starfleet officers.
- a female starship Captain or starbase command officer or Starfleet Command Commodore or Admiral.
- some other different Starfleet starship design(s).
- other sections of the Enterprise.
- seeing some of the secondary cast get a bit more to do like they did in early 1st Season. A good Uhura centric story.

^All seconded.
Better stories. No episodes with kids or anyone else taking over the ship. Mudds return. An episode each with the romulans and then the Klingons. Good planet stories and more of the co-stars getting some highlights and action. A few good space fights.
Did i mention better episodes?

More development of Andorians and Tellarites.
I'd have loved to see how 1970 Trek would have imagined 23rd century Earth.
If there had been a fourth season it would simply have been a continuation of what we already had. Meaning unlike post TOS series and films it's unlikely they would have revisted characters, things and places they had already seen.
We would have had more NEW stuff than rehashing the old like so many seem to want.

Probably at least a few of episodes would be close to the TAS series.
Possibly. There are a number of TAS episodes that could be neat TOS stories assuming they could be adapted to live-action.
I've always liked TAS' "Slaver Weapon." A story similar to that done for TOS might have been cool.
Oh yes... the Niven story is awesome!
I don't think we could have seen the Kzinti in TOS--that would have been a tough makeup/costume job--but the essential story with just Spock, Uhura and Sulu is cool.
Oh please, just the furry cat masks and tails) Or even just cat-like ears, pointy teehts and tails would suffice. Even this would be better than unicorn dog)
In the least we would need to see something like a werewolf costume and preferably on more than one individual.
The real issue is that masks and makeup of the day were too rigid and couldn't allow for believable expressions. They are essentially static. The Gorn was a great design, but the head and face were immobole.
Well, yes, but Kzinti are much more human-like than Gorn. I.e. they could use only the cat mask, and the rest of body in some sort of suit.
It depends on how you want to depict the Kzinti. The Kzinti, like the Gorn, ideally should not have had human like legs, but ones more like an animal's hind legs. But thats impossible for a person in costume so you fudge it.
The Gorn was cool partly because it was obviously supposed to have greater musculature than a human. I imagine a Kzin would be somewhat similar. And the Kzin head could be more like something between a large cat and a wolf, as they have often been depicted on numerous book covers.
Something like that -
- with cat-like ears and whickers.
We could hide the rest of the body in she skinsuit, so we would not need fur all over.
I suspect if Niven's "SOft Weapon" had been adapted for a theoretical 4th season live action episode, to reduce costs, Klingons or some other human(oid) warrior race would have replaced the Kzinti. After all, Spock was slipped into the role of Nessus, a supposedly pascifist plant eater who manages to humiliate a predator species alpha male. It would not have been so great a stretch to take it one step further, applying the Kzinti sensilibities to another pre-existing Trek species, like, well, the Klingons.
