  1. Well, here's how I'd have everyone starting off...

     

    Janeway - Still working at Starfleet Command.

    Chakotay - Captain of Voyager.

    Tuvok - Spent time on Vulcan, now 1st officer of Voyager.

    B'Elanna - Left Starfleet to raise Miral on Earth.

    Tom - Designing a new shuttlecraft for Starfleet while he stays with his family on Earth.

    Harry - Chief OPS officer of the Enterprise-E. (filling in Data's job)

    The Doctor - Working for Command Crusher who is now head of Starfleet Medical.

    Seven - Went through Starfleet Acadamy, now an Ensign on Voyager, her job is Astrometrics of coarse. :(

    Neelix - Still on the asteroid. :(

     

    Kes would show up on Earth, and then the story begins...

    I'd have serious reservations about having the cr4ew so spread out like this. I doubt that Star fleet would bring all of the senior members of Voyager back just for one mission.

     

    I hadn't thought about Seven as an ensign though. Echeb would probably be on board too.


  2. I voted Kes Return(again, how).

     

    I have an idea for a VOY movie in which Kes returns to Earth, pleading for Admiral Janeway's help.  When Kes returned to Ocampa, shortly after "Fury", she discovered that the Ocampa undergound city ran out of power, her people surfaced, and are now enslaved by the Kazon.  Admiral Janeway re-assembles her old senior staff, with her being an Admiral, she doesn't need permission. :( On the way, Kes asks if they can pick up Neelix as she feels he could contribute greatly.  Q would have a small appreance in the movie as Kes's mentor, but would refuse to "interfere" with the Ocampan/Kazon conflict.  The villian would be Seska's son, now a young man, leader of the joined Kazon Ogla/Nistrom forces.

     

    I am really starting to like this idea. It could start out with Tuvok in command of the Voyager with The Doctor, Paris and Kim still on board. Be'lana is still on board but as a civilian. Voyager would be on its way to Earth for repairs, where the "True Voyagers" (a nickname for the people who made it through the Delta Quadrant) re-unite with Admiral Janeway, Chakotay, and Seven (I'm pretty sure that the last two aren't in star fleet any more, but correct me if I'm wrong). At this point the crew members some how become aware of a new presense on Voyager, Kes. I am really starting to like this.


  3. Oh yeah, I forgot to add this.  Voyager undergoes a major refit.  Interrior sets have same shape and layout, but totally new look.  The exterrior is the same, but with subtle upgrades, like TOS Enterprise to Movie Enterprise, without looking like a different ship. B) However, I'd have Voyager destroyed at the end of the movie with the crew stranded on Ocampa with escape pods and shuttlecraft.  Seska's son, the villian would be redeemed instead of being killed like previous movie villians.  Finally, Kes would sacrifice herself to save Janeway.  At the very end, Janeway, Chakotay, Tuvok, The Doctor, and Neelix would be discussing Kes's herroic acts, while sitting arround a camp fire in the night.  Durring the discussion, the flame shoots 30 feet into the air, we here a faint and distant voice scream "Tuvok!", with the flame returning to normal.  We then realise only Tuvok heard the voice, but everyone saw the flame.  Janeway asks Tuvok what's wrong.  Then we a sudden "flash" to black, roll end credits.

    OOO!! Very cool. I don't think that Seska's son would be old enough at that point though. He would only be five when the series ended, and he likly wouldn't be any more than 13 or 14. Unless some type of growth enhancement was used but that's almost strait out of Nemisis, and I wouldn't figure the Kazon would be advanced enough to do something like that. But the rest I like. Maybe Voyager colliding with the lead Kazon ship, like Chakotay in 'The Caretaker'. I would have reservations about Kes varporizing again like when she left before. It just seems recycled.


  4. I've decided to vote Data's Return

     

    I had the idea once that B4 begins to exibit behavior's similar to Data's(similar to how McCoy acted in Search for Spock). After an analysis by Geordi, the crew learns that the memory files that B4 recieved from Data have begun to merge with B4's own memory files. Not long after the Enterprise rendezvous with Riker, Troi, and the Titan, who also give Beverly and Wesley Crusher transportation to the Enterprise.

     

    From here, I'm really not sure where to go. The end would result with something like a decision weather to save B4 which would be easier, or to take a risk and re-create Data out of the memory files and B4's body. Maybe something with Wesley and some of the stuff he learned from the Traveler. But I doubt very much that Rick Berman will call me up for ideas on Movie XI.


  5. There are just so many things on who should be in the Movie XI, so I figured I'd take it one more step.

     

    I don't really have a preferred one out of these, but I'd love for the Next Generation crew to re-unite, and more importantly, redeam themselves for Nemisis. It was good action, but I'd hate for that to be the last memories we have of a crew who had one hell of a run.


  6. I'd like to see several character conflicts, but at the same time I love things when they reach the boiling point, and when the character of a person is tested. Something where the direct actions of the characters effect the outcome of the story, and if there even is a major battle at all. If there is a battle, I'd like to think that it's the opnly option; that negotiation is pointless and it's the crews lives or the enemy ship's crew's lives.


  7. I've got to agree with Takara_Soong. For the most part, big name actors in Star Trek doesn't work. In most situations, for me anyway, it helps if the faces are more less unfamiliar (with ecseption to the main cast and crew). But it's not impossible though, and if some one with a real knowledge of Trek and an understanding of what they're doing can pull it off, like Malcolm McDowell in Generations and Neal McDonough in his minor role as Hawk in First contact.


  8. I would agree that saving the crew would be the main purpose of the seperation-system. But at the same time there is now doubt in my mind that the ship was also disigned with the intention of keeping families safe and a mutli-vector attack (why else would they have a battle bridge?) to a battle, and several other purposes we simply didn't see with the NCC-1701-D.


  9. I figure it will haqppen some time. I just hope it is well written. The reunion of the characters will require some good thought, and explaining Sisko's return so that audience of a non-trek back ground will under stand, will be difficult regardless. But like Bolivar said, I'd very dissapointed if we saw no more Trek movies.


  10. It would be interesting seeing even further into the development of the Federation, but I would still like to see something else to build on the Star Trek universe of the future. Something 20-30 years after VOY, so some TNG/DS9/VOY characters, regimes, technologies, and other stuff can still be involved and working.


  11. I have an idea for a VOY movie, featuring the return of Kes, with Q as her mentor.  This is an idea of how Q could be in the movies without turning off the general audience and making the plot "solvable in a snap".

    That would be good. I'd love for Kes to com back. She wouldn't be anything like she was before, but it would still be great.


  12. If I remember right, the STTMP transporter effect was a visible beam or column of light, with the transported person showing as a particle effect outline and then fading into coherence as the visible beam winked off. I remember it looked cool, but just thought that perhaps as things were upgraded into STII that the transporter would have been updated, thus new effect.

     

    Ok, maybe ;)

    Well after what happend to Cmdr. Sonak, I can't blame them for wanting to upgrade the transporters. But the effects is pretty cool.


  13. I give it an 8.5. I wasn't to terribly blown away with the beginning, but as the episode went on and it entered the more thought provoking stages, it soared. That's the difference between 'Similitude' and 'Twilight'. 'Twilight' grabbed my attention from the start and never let go. Similitude started out slow and quiet, and then worked it's way up to one of the most thought provoking episodes of any Star Trek I've ever seen.

    I especially loved the actors who played the young versions of Sim. They even used the same inflections as Trip does.

    "Impressive. Most impressive."
