What was it like watching William Shatner kiss Michelle Nichols live on tv?
Bajorans let him off on technicalities a LOT, even when weapons dealing, because he always had a favor to trade.
It's not that Odo wasn't *trying*.
Not actually the first interracial kiss. Lucy was kissing Desi Arnaz before that. Probably the first mouth to mouth white/black kiss on US TV though Nancy Sinatra had already gotten some cheek action from Sammy Davis Jr.

They go past the Milky Way in TNG to the edges of the universe where apparently thoughts can manifest in reality but regardless they haven't even fully explored the Alpha quadrant at the end of Voyager much less the Delta quandrant that Voyager made a bee line through.

That is handled in the Q triliogy of novels. It isn't too keep folks in, it is to keep a being out. Q's mentor who encouraged his wild ways.

One of my favorite things is when Picard receives that intact artifact from an archeology friend. Only 1 remains in the galaxy or whatever.
He's so humbled and honored to receive this gift and will cherish it forever.
Then at the end of Generations, he's going through the wreckage of his ready room, picks up that very statue and practically tosses it aside when he finds his photo album.

I got quite a few from my viewing of TNG and up to season four of DS9:
TNG
- The cryogenic humans thawed out and what they did afterwards
- The origins of the parasites in "Conspiracy"
DS9
- What happened after "Past Tense Part 1 & 2." They seriously could have a spinoff series with that alone and have it lead up to the founding of United Federation of Planets (sorta of Caprica of Star Trek lore).
- Odo when he's first discovered and 'his early years'
- Kira and her days in a resistance cell

The lady works at the Bureau of Temporal Investigations helping people lost in time adjust to the current era. I am not even joking. The Boseman(the starfleet ship from the timeloop ep) is the official flagship of the Bureau.
I could see a show that's some sort of weird Sliders meet Control in space with that.
This is the thing I want to see the least ever in a future incarnation of Star Trek, Vger or the machine planet it was built on. sometimes an air of mystery and the unknown is better than anything any writer could follow up with.
True. I think TMP gave us just enough backstory on V'Ger to make it interesting without ruining it.
Side note - as time has gone on I've grown to think Star Trek TMP is a really under rated movie.
The 80s Wall Street guy was a major character in one of the non-canon TNG novels. After that episode the Federation found the perfect job for him as the ambassador to the Ferengi Alliance.
I would watch the hell out of this.
Though I guess I'd miss the banter with Bashir. Maybe they could come up with a substitute though, which would explain Garak's fondness years later...

The Garak memoir novel "A Stitch in Time" is one of the few (only?) Trek novels I don't regret reading. The whole thing is framed as a letter to Dr. Bashir after the events of DS9.
Most of the novel follow-ups mentioned in this thread sound awful.
That would be cool though, a show about a struggling black sci-fi writer in the 50s living through bad times and trying to hold onto an optimistic vision of the future. Basically the episode but extended and developed further.
They're next to
the Data sim that Picard pulled the plug on in the last episode of the recent series
sitting in an unused drawer at the vineyard.
But the biggest one off that isn't really a one off that Star Trek has dropped the ball on is the stuff with The Doctor's nascent struggle for holographic rights which has been completely abandoned in contemporary ST to the point that it's ridiculous and holo characters are back to being the goofy servants that you can shut off on command. It's dumb because it makes it seem like when Voyager got back and everybody got to see the Doctor and who he was they were like 'nah'.
I'm sure people would have been so mad. lol
It's like Behr's original idea to have the final shot of the show be Benny Hill walking off the set of DS9, a show he was able to make after successfully selling his story, being ditched in favour of the more traditional one we got.
Yeah, Picard ignoring the holo doc stuff (somehow that's not real AI I guess) was very strange.
But also come to think of it, the Federation ended up going with holo slaves after their ban on androids anyway, based on Discovery.
Oh damn really? I have to admit as big of a Star Trek nerd as I am, I've never touched the novels. I may need to correct that error lol.
They are a decent read some parts are a bit incredulous and fan servicey at times but I enjoyed reading them.

Fun fact the Star Fleet Corp of Engineer's ships don't have holodecks, they have little holo cubbies that are used to design shit.
I just meant planetary shuttles XD the ones that were retconned into existence in TOS XD, but that's a good one too
Yeah. I'm one of the only people I know who actually liked it.
It's one of those incredulous moments I mentioned. But I thought it was kind of interesting and enjoyable.

I liked it. The borg going, "you know what? That is all i can stand cause i can't stands no more" and just go HAM was awesome
Something just badass about "Resistance is futile. But welcome."

Then aliens with space magic snap their fingers and no more borg with a "Our bad"
I wonder what happened to the brunette girl from Nova Squadron. We know what happened to the rest of the team, except her. Wesley dropped out of the Academy. The Bajoran girl died trying to smuggle the Cardassian spy back to his people. Tom Paris ended up on Voyager. We don't know what happened to her.
Yup. Loved it. I actually really like Steven's reaction to the whole thing.
Tom Paris is actually not the same character, that would have required paying royalties to the original writer every week.
The Bajoran was actually suppose to survive the episode originally but they changed it last minute.
