Immediately after Star Trek: The Search For Spock came out, I had a vision of where Star Trek was going (which turned out not to happen, which I think was a big opportunity missed). So they hijacked a Star Ship. Kirk and a very minimal crew of loyal followers (not the canonical crew of 400) spring McCoy from Maximum Security and spirit him away in hijacked ship. Star Fleet sends a newer ship in pursuit, which clunks out because Scott sabotaged it. They’re fugitives now, fer sure! Then they get to the Genesis Planet, recover Spock, fight Klingons, but blow up their own Enterprise. So then they capture a beat-up Klingon rustbucket and fly off in that. So we have a small crew of Kirk loyalists, fugitives, galavanting about the galaxy doing heroic deeds (like capturing 20th century whales to save the Earth) in a beat-up rustbucket, all the while with Star Fleet just a few parsecs behind them. Can’t you see where this is going . . . ? It’s sooooooo obvious! A co-worker remarked to me, at the time, that he thought Kirk and crew had maybe one more good movie in them, and then the whole (original) Star Trek franchise would be pretty well worn out. But I thought they were on the cusp of branching into a whole new story line, a total re-boot of the story, that could be the beginning of a whole new series. Quick, somebody, what was I thinking? Star Trek goes A-Team! Alas, Roddenberry didn’t go there. ---

I’d like to see someone turn around and say “Spock you’ve got these figures wrong”. Wesley Crusher caught cheating in an exam, or perhaps found rummaging through a female officers underwear draw. The captain (Any captain) shouting out “What the F\*\*\*” when they yet again all get thrown out of their seats by an unexpected alien attack. Encountering another space ship that is upside down,or angled to the right what ever, to their own ship. And finally Diaanai Troy rushing naked out of her shower during an attack, only to encounter the female officer from Babylon 5 and find that shes been taken over by a malevolent mastermind so they have to wrestle, but unfortunately a passing female galley operative with an open tub of vegetable oil falls over and joins in the wrestling and then… Sorry, sorry I’ve got to go and lie down for a bit. What gets me is you try to help out the shows producers by sending them plot ideas like this and they treat you as though you were mad !
