Alternative ST XI Plots!

I don't want a whole new crew I've never seen before, and I'm probably like a lot of ST fans...We've been told TNG is over and of course Voyager found its way home so that's a bit of a speedbump if you're going to involve Voyager in a plot, however, I believe I have a kickass idea for a storyline.

 

During Voyager when they encoutered Species 8472, 8472 claimed, through Kes' telepathic abilities, that "The weak will perish, your galaxy will be PURGED!" which I thought sounded like a hell of a foreshadow. The conclusion to this 2-part episode (Scorpio I/II) only saw the destruction of 17 of 8472's "bioships" but we know that they had at least 133 in the Delta Quadrant in the "Northwest Passage" area of Borg Space, and very likely many thousands more...To emphasize the power of 8472, we know that in just a few days of battle 8472 was able to destroy over 300 Borg Cubes and 8 Borg planets, killing like 3,000,000+ Borg.

 

I say have Species 8472 re-invade the Galaxy with a new defense against the Borg nanoprobes that the EMH and 7 of 9 developed...Intent on purging the galaxy of all life...A new threat, greater than the Romulans, the Cardassians, the Dominion, even dwarfing the Collective. Only a FULL Alliance between the Federation and the Collective as was seen in Scorpion between Voyager and the Borg can save the Galaxy now, drawing two familar starships together, one lead by Cpt.Picard and his new 1st Officer (bonus clips in Nemesis), the other an Intrepid crew re-joined by Admiral Janeway and her newly appointed (perhaps? Cpt.Tuvok? or Chakotay?) cleared of Maquis charges for their heroism and duty aboard Voyager for 7 years...

 

Voyager and Enterprise E in the same film!

 

And who knows....The valiant and dashing Cpt of the Starship Ares might even poke in here and there... B)

 

Post your ideas and tell me what you think of mine!

Sounds like a pretty good idea! Anything that has the Borg and species 8472 would have to be pretty action packed! "Species 8472 doesn't exactly roll off the tounge the way "Borg" does. They might have to aquire a new name for the movie...IMHO.

 

Either way it's a hell of a lot better idea than some NEW crew. I, for one, always take a while to adjust to a new Star Trek series and crew.

I heard one rumor (totally unfounded as far as I know) that ST XI was about Section 31 vs The Borg...I had no clue who Section 31 was so I looked it up on the ST Library site...As far as I can tell, only two episodes of DS9 even mention them, so there's not much background...But I also saw in an interview with Berman that an upcoming episode of ENT will deal with Section 31...

I like the idea of using the Borg and some of the DS9 story line. One possibility for a story would be to pick up were DS9 left off.

 

Let’s say it is a few years after Sisco leaves to be with the Profits and Voyager has returned formed the Delta Quadrant. Kira, now the commanding officer of the station, is going about her daily routine when suddenly Sisco appears in front of her. Going against the will of the Profits, he is back to bring a message of warning to the Federation. The Borg have developed a new dooms day weapon, and are on their way to the Alpha Quadrant.

 

Using the powers of the Profits, Sisco has learned of away to finally defeat the Borg. He has learned the location of the Borg home world. By destroying the central link in the collective, the Borg will be destroyed once and for all.

 

With this story line we could bring in both the Enterprise-E and Voyager, with the two captains with the most Borg experience. We could also bring in the Klingons, Romulans, and even the Dominion.

As I watched more and more of Voyager (still in the process of watching them all, up to almost the end of Season 4, although I've seen one or two here and there on TV when it was still on) I was surprised to see how much more the 'Q' storyline was divulged in Voyager than in TNG, I thought it was done very well such as the Episode that depicted the Q civil war, Qpid I believe...But he's right, idk about a film...they kind of beat the Q-horse to death with drama in All Good Things...

At one time I had all the Q episodes (most in old vcd quality) but it was fun to watch them all in succession. Now that would be an idea for a new torrent (dvd quality though).

 

USSdefiant: What episodes of DS9 is Section 31 one in?

 

Lamp: what are the names of the 4 books?

 

Thanks in advance.

Some of these ideas are great. I'd love to see more about Section 31 or Voyager and the Enterprise-E again. it would be nice to include Scotty and Spock and learn what happened to Sulu, Chekhov and Uhura after STVI.

how about a holographic starship with a mostly hologram crew with a human Engineer(good with holomatrix), seven of nine (obvious reasons), quark(comic relief), and Guinan(whoopi isnt doing much these days). joe(emh) could be their captain and a instead of shields they could let enemy fire go rite through them, only shield the humaniod crew with a personal holoshield.

plot goes like this: time has stopped, and they have to fix it. everybody in the alpha Quadrant is paused. captain joe has to take the E.H.S(Emergency Holographic Starship) out to find out who or what is responsable fo the time paradox

:p

Just wanted to make a short remark... besides I'm cranky since I got up too early.

 

No respect for that... ;)

 

I mean come think of it... a movie full of motionless ships, enemies... not quite my idea of action!

 

What good can a holoshield be? It's like an imaginary shield.. no good. Besides, if you fire at the emitter (or is your holoship self-emitting?) you destroy both the ship, the crew, and the human in one swift stroke. Guinan always survives, Seven of Nine will adapt and Quark will buy his way out.

 

Question: why must the alpha quadrant be paused?

Why not the beta quadrant? Or gamma... Would be more fun... it's always the alpha quadrant getting all the shit. Be it time paradoxes, wormholes, tempospatial anomalies... list goes on like forever.

 

But for a 15-year old, your script summary is rather promising. You should keep away from the cliché's, though.

 

Final question: why will Joe go after the timestopper? He won't even notice time has stopped. Or do you suggest time does not work with holograms? If so, he'll do bad. His engineer etc won't work.

 

With all of the greatest respect,

Elladan

 

ps. maybe I was too snappy.. I apologize for that.
