Oh no, not just you. A lot of people wanted that and that probably contributed some to the general disillusionment around ENT.
which of these Star Trek projects should have been made?
- Thread starter Temis the Vorta
- Start date

At leaxt no one threatened anyone with peeing on them.
Archer did that in Night in Sickbay.
And the ending ceremony. Come on, that was twice as weird as Luke Skywalker appearing TOS with a lightsaber. Maybe it was Stihl commercial.
Since Crusade was only one season lets measure Crusade Vs the Firs season of Voyager.
What do you say?
"Caretaker" alone outclasses all of Crusade.
Pretty sure that was meant to be metaphorical and humorous.
So an alien ceremony is alien. How odd.
I watched the entire first season of Voyager, can't say the same for Crusade.
I'll have to assume it got better, because getting worse wouldn't be possible.
Wow, Phase II is very popular. Is that because it would have been a preferable follow-up to TOS vs TNG?
I'd opt for that over any of these ideas, too. Or a series that spins off of Trek XI's era, perhaps as a cartoon, so that they can have it be about the current Enterprise characters without worrying whether they can get Pine, Quinto, etc to do the voices.
Lets compare first season villains shall we.

Just look at them.
Your point being what? You liked the make up on the Drakh? Sorry, I'm more of a story and writing guy. (Not that Voyager was great in that area) So make up only goes so far.
Why not? They alien/futured it up enough. Some things just look similar no matter where or when they are. Form follows function.
Humor, it is a difficult concept.
You've never been upset with someone and taken the reason they're upset and threatened to return it kind twofold or more? (even if not in a literal sense)
I agree that having ENT set after the E/R war would've worked better. It also would've gotten around the problem of trying to do eps set during the war and not overly contradicting the premise set in Bot.
All that aside, I voted for Planet of the Titans, one of my favorite of the Trek Roads Not Taken, and ST: The Beginning (yes, I would've enjoyed seeing the E/R war explored in one fashion or the other.)
It would have had the entire original cast (sans Spock) and more than a few of the actual scripts are readable - not to mention, of course, Persis Khambatta was cast as Ilia for the series.
The entire X-Files episode of Crusade wasn't just non-funny humour, it was an hour devoted to a single bloody unfunny joke ground into the pulp and whacked over your head over and over.
Also, there was that obnoxious episode about the smiling writer who was done away with. That was just toxic, writing-wise.
Its amazing there are so many, and we've heard so little about some till recently. ST has been so active.

There are a lot of Alien cultures out there. If you look at even here on earth, I bet not a lot of people ever heard about Thailand, or Burma. Thailand is probably one of the major civilization and culture that is overlooked, but they played a lot of major role in shaping the history of Asian, especially China. The ancestors of the people who inhabit what is presently known as Thailand were the first people to grow and cultivate rice. It played a major role in how they feed the people Asia which allows the people the survive through hard time when there isn't much to eat, shaping the cultures in Asia as we know it, and now rice feeds people all around the world, not just in Asia, but in Africa and Latin America...they even grow rice in Italy and they've been doing for hundreds of years now since first contact with Asia. The Thai people also were the first people to make bronze, even before the Ancient Mesopotamia, and their bronze was superior because it didn't contain arscinic as one of the component of the alloy...they use tin instead. The Chinese picked that up right away and made elaborate bronze sculptures that they still can't figure out how they were to able to shape them that way even with use and knowledge of modern metalergy. Siam was a major trading partner with China since ancient time. Without the Thai people, the Chinese would had the idea to create Soy Sauce which was base on fish sauce; a lot of people in China were vegetarians so they had to use soy beans in the fermentation process instead of fish from the sea. The process is almost the same except you subsitute one for the other. I can go on and on about different cultures here on earth and forgotten history which a lot of people haven't even heard of.
Did you know the Gaelic people were forging better steels that the Roman at the time of Julius Ceasar invading Gaul. And the Native Americans influence the way how people cook around the world. that's right! They were the first people to cook meat on opened fire and using oven like method by burrying the carcassed in the ground and let the whole animals cook slowly on gentle heat. The European got the idea for grilling on opened fired, and BBQ, which is like doing it the ground but instead in a container heated by firewoods, from the Native Americans. The European had the technologies and the Indians have the methods. Now grilling is very popular around worldwid!

As I kept checking the boxes, I realized I would have loved most of them being made (quality of production would have been a big issue for appreciation of the final results, tho).
Long been a fan of A:E, but it's not really a ST project is it? Other than shoehorned into end of season 2 as covert pilot; though I guess they might have had occasional TOS guest stars...
I can understand love for Phase II, but curious how would have affected TV/movie timeline if had gone ahead. Would subsequent films and shows simply been pushed back, or trek universe just gone in different direction?
Like Singer/McQuarrie Federation concept, and Rikers-on-USS Titan as guilty pleasure.

Tuvix? A classic episode? Really???
The one where Janeway murders a crew member
Whaaa???
Nothing to do with the quality of the stories whatsoever - otherwise B5 itself would have collapsed under the weight of it's shitty cardboard sets.Lets compare first season villains shall we.

Because it has some action and a crazy benjo guy?[/QUOTE][/Quote]
Because it had an interesting story. What did Crusade have?

She killed one to save two... sorta.
Can you name a Crusade that was anywhere near as memorable, though?
