My theory is that it would have to be relatively near to 'Nemesis' (I haven't seen it--from what I've heard, I'm lucky), just to get a relative context. In my opinion, there are several loose ends floating around the Trek universe. For instance: - Remember Tasha Yar's daughter? She showed up, had a few episodes in fourth and fifth season of TNG where she played a key part, and then disappeared? Whatever happened to her? Speaking of which, what's Romulus going to do now, with Spock's underground going strong, and the Empire allied (however temporarily) with the Federation and Klingons?
- What is Voyager's crew going to be like when they return? I once talked to a guy--he was a Vietnam vet--he was talking about how hard it was to readjust to being an ordinary guy, living a real life, instead of one where any surprise could mean death. I envision that Voyager's return would be similar. How are they going to deal with the concept of not being cut off anymore? They've got to readjust. Learn to live with life as it is now--post-Dominion War, post-Founders, and with the Admiralty able to look over their shoulders and see what they're doing now.
- What's going to happen with Bajor, now that DS9 is back to what it was in the first couple of seasons? Sure, it was a revitalizing culture, but then it basically became a military way-station before going in to Cardassian territory.
- I'd also kinda like to see a movie in which Sisko comes back, and is treated like the Bajoran Messiah: he has lived with the Prophets and returned. One could possibly see him getting 'killed,' too. As an assassination attempt by a hyper-fundamentalist Bajoran. Sort of the way Yitzchak Rabin was assassinated by a fundamentalist Jew.
And I'd like to see Q coming back. I think that the poster image Ron Moore and Brannon Braga were looking for in Generations (the 2 Enterprises in battle) could have worked--if you had Q's face in the background. Like, Kirk's Enterprise, on the way home, is caught by Q and brought forward to the 24th Century. Both Enterprises are taken over, a la the TNG episode 'Conundrum'--but Q is on both sides. And they finally figure it out and catch him, when both captains realize the name of the ship they're fighting. Tying Guinan in, the way they did, would also help. And finally, Q wipes memory of it from the Enterprise-A, and sends it on its merry way. (Hey, that rhymes.) And, I had an ironic thought about it once: what if Q weren't coming back to see Picard just to annoy him? What if there was a purpose, other than the trial? I once had the theory that the Continuum was...well, God. And if that postulate is correct, would Q turn out to be...something like...Picard's, then Janeway's, guardian angel? I mean, he didn't have to give Picard the opportunity to fix things in the series finale, did he? That's one of the weird things I came up with to explain that. Also, in continuation of the whole Aussie actors thing: anybody watch any of the movies in that other series of movies Patrick Stewart has done? You know, with Hugh Jackman as Wolverine? Why not him? He's Australian...and a darn good actor, too...he has gone from that, to 'Kate and Leopold' (whatever that was), to whichever musical it was he was in (I think he won a Tony for it, too.).
