…but know you never will.
1)While battling a Cardassian warship, Captain Picard says “Forget the peace and friendship crap. Mr. Worf, blow them to bits.”
2)Someone - anyone - actually follows the Prime Directive.
3)Someone mistakes a phaser for a remote control and accidentally blows up a viewscreen.
any more?
Nekkid wimmin.
Painted-on Borg-babe catsuits aren’t quite good enough. Any show can be improved with gratuitious nudity…
Seriously though, I’d like to see more non-humanoids in Starfleet. Is the major consideration for entrance into the Federation the amount of tailoring needed to fit into a Starfleet uniform?
And for the love of Mordach, put some fuses on those control stations.
Computer Security. Like, any moron can hack into the main computers, anytime.
A starship that can take one or two phaser blasts without losing warp drive.
Intelligent Aliens.
Q in a movie.
I’d like to see “manual override” work; it seems a very unreliable system.
For people who claim to be all about peace, love and understanding, the Federation is strangely prejudiced in regard to Ferengis. Perhaps some sort of Ferengi antidefamation league.
And, of course, a “scientific” explanation in which fewer than two-thirds of the words were made up on the spot by the scriptwriters.
Someone backhand Weasley across the mouth
Someone on the ship (other than the stars) who doesn’t look like they live at the gym.
Have them find somewhere to stow high explosives OTHER than in the bridge consoles.
Some FUCKING shields that don’t drop to about 20% after a couple of hits.
Holodecks that DON’T go beserk and endanger the ship/crew.
Tuvok, Spock, or any Vulcan telling someone to go fuck themselves.
A Klingon (especially female) who decides to go to a dentist.
There’s precious few non-Humanoid Sentients in the Star Trek galaxy.
There’s the Horta (Or Vorta…one’s a rock-thingie, the other’s a Dominion slave-race…I can never remember which is which…), and those things that Capt. Picard once negotiated with, and the Crystal Entity, and…and…um…that’s it, really…
Since I utterly LOATHE Star Trek…
Darth Vader and the Executor vs. the USS Enterprise.
and the Crystal Entity, and…and…um…that’s it, really…

Until that woman whose family the entity killed whacked it.
How about a red shirt that lives through just one episode
How about Warp Core ejectors that Actually WORK??? They have to be the single most useless piece of equipment on the ship. They NEVER work.
An episode where we meet a new person on the ship just to meet him or her. A friendly face in the background where we can say “Hey, there’s Lt. Quacko!” But this person, upon meeting him or her does NOT save the ship from some peril merely to vanish into thin air for the next episode.
A science officer laughing at Captain Picard, or Riker saying “ok, so what specialty do you have that I don’t that makes you more qualified to go on an away mission than me?”
Troi getting bitch slapped every time she says “I feel great anger from this creature,” after the creature has just fired upon the ship.
An obscenely disappointing, cliche ridden, character destroying series ending to DS9. Oh wait, that’s been done already.
I couldn’t stand Ben Sisko (what was his title? Commander? StationMeister?) They tried to make him a “rebel”-type leader like Captain Kirk but they screwed it up, and he came out as just an arrogant jerk. I was glad when they killed him off (sort of) at the end of DS9.
I also want a real captain on the next Enterprise. Someone like Will Riker.
Catrandom: You’re right about the Ferengis. They seem to be the only species that Starfleet officers are allowed to badmouth. Them and the Dominion.

Tholian. Don’t ask me why I know. Those yellow crystal thingies are Tholians, and they ain’t too freindly. </GEEK>
More huge fleet vs fleet battles.
More boarding actions (wouldn’t that be cool!)
and I’d like them to switch from that “synthehol” crap back to 80 Proof Jack Daniels.

I would like to see a Phaser (handheld or rifle variant) with an accurate aiming apparatus. Have you ever tried to shoot at something from thirty meters away without peering through some sights or a scope? You CAN’T do it.
Furthermore, you’d think that an “advanced society” like the Federation would be capable of better designs in their hand-held weaponry. Am I the only one who notices that those phaser rifles are very poorly designed? Compare their shape to that of an MP5 submachine gun and you’ll see what I mean.
I’d like to see Counselor Troi handcuff Dr. Crusher to a gurney and do her up the poop-chute with a 13 inch strap-on while Ro and Tasha Yar engage in some sixty-nineage.
Tasha Yar comes back to life!
Torgo, you serve the Master well…
No, that should be

I’d like to see more Federation fighters. They don’t seem to really use them that much. I think I’ve only heard of them ever being used during the war with the Dominion in DS9.
