Things you wanted to see in Star Wars or Star Trek

Get back to us when you’re feeling better. :slight_smile:

That could be a while!

Along those same lines, I always thought we should have seen more scenes between Troi and Crusher. Like showering after a workout. Or Leffler, after getting tired of Wesley’s fumblings, stomping off to 10 Forward, grabbing a bottle and an ensign, and haring off to her quarters to get her freak on.

Or, at any time during DS9 or ST:TNG, someone saying “I looked up the doctor’s log from the NCC-1701. Did you know that with a simple injection, we can all be unstoppable telekinetics?”

Terrorist action from the Rebels. They only do regular warfare things.

More explanation/sense of how the fuck the Empire deals with its aliens, seeing as it seems to have segregationist policies against them.

You know how sometimes characters in a show will appear in other shows? And how they’re always time travelling on Star Trek? I give you the Enterprise crew ending up with the Sex and the City girls in NYC or Happy Days in Milwaukee.

Especially since this was Vader’s plan.

Well, he did help perform a banned flight manuver that resulted in the death of a fellow cadet, then lied and participated in a cover up that blamed the dead cadet. For that he was …

held back a year in school…:rolleyes:

A school in Star Wars…
Teacher…if Rodia is the home planet of the Rodians,
and Kashyyyk is the home planet of the Wookies,
and Naboo is the home planet of the Gungans,

where is the home planet of US HUMANS?

Corellia.

(just a fanwank)

Definitely this. This should be the norm rather than the exception, but it never seems to happen. I have a vague recollection of it occurring once or twice in the 2009 Star Trek reboot but I could be mistaken.

I’d like to have seen the Countdown comic filmed.

In one of the tech manuals or something, wasn’t there a reference that all of the ships are supposed to orient themselves to the galactic ecliptic (is that the right word?) or something? It seems to me that there was something about how SOP caused all of the ships to approach each other in a common orientation.

Coruscant maybe? Speaking of which, I wouldn’t mind seeing a tornado ripping through the business district or something. Surely turning an entire planet into one big honking metropolis without any major topological features, like mountains or large bodies of water, ought to have some sort of big meteorological effects. Right?

Any gay character. (I’m sorry, I just do not count the redshirt in First Contact who TPTB swore up, down, and sideways wasn’t gay, but was later confirmed to be gay in one of the novels. The novels are never considered canon. Series appearance or GTFO.) Alternately, I would have much preferred Dax have been placed in a male host after Jadzia.

Also, seat belts on the bridge.

They aren’t “us” humans. They’re humans who are completely unrelated to us.

Anyway, I got the impression that the Rodians, Wookies and Gungans are more primitave races, new to advanced technology and space travel. Humans, OTOH, are an ancient race that spread throughout the galaxy thousands of years before, and its origins are long forgotten.

Or else they’ve mastered weather control.

A friend of mine once suggested that seriously as a reason for no gays in Trek or SW.

As for gay characters, I’ve always felt Spock was in denial.

I always wanted to see Star Wars light sabers used for other purposes. I got all excited when they were using them to cut through a door in Episode One but the scene didn’t go anywhere. It looked like Qui-Gon-Booze was having a lot of trouble with it as well, it should just slice through metal easy peasy.

Am I imagining it or pre-Enterprise was there talk of a Starfleet Academy show? I thought that would have been interesting - sort of Star-Trek-meets-90210 - but I suspect that by the midpoint of the first season the writers and/or audience would have gotten bored and contrived to send all the characters into space for fun alien/technology-based hijinks.

We see this done twice in Empire, but you’re right–it was rarely taken advantage of post-Hoth.

Uhura’s boobs.
