Should there be an episode where Harry Kim travels back in time and joins them?


I think there should. What could happen is that Wesley Crusher steps out of his Traveller persona and bumps into Tom Paris on Voyager who he thinks is Nicholas Locarno who he went to Starfleet Academy with. Turns out Tom was (Or is depending upon how you look at it) and fabricated a really elaborate hoax which he could never fully admit to which would have jeopardised his father's career and legacy within Starfleet.

Anyways they all travel back in time to find Data's head which Samuel Clemens is the guardian of until his future offspring can put back to make sure the timeline isn't messed with (A descendant of his from Vhnori called Neria also goes back in time and meets another cousin of his called Radue who is an Aldean).

It all gets a bit mixed up but Bones eventually bumps into them and then they all notice there isn't any women in this episode and so they get cancelled due to hatred from the Internet from people who have no idea who any of these characters are.

This should be the pilot episode in my opinion. Maybe chuck a bit of T'Pol in for good measure to make it at least watchable for us who actually cared about Trek pre-Abrams.

All further characters and story arcs will be considered for inclusion should you wish to share them.

Haha I like it. Your pilot idea is bound to be better than any drivel CBS can come up with. Roddenberry was all about the future but now the current rtards keep rebooting the past. Have some guts and think of something new instead of rehashing old episodes.

I think we can all safely say that the audience they are aiming for will never be the ones who would ever watch it (Especially behind a paywall).

Basic marketing knowledge is what they should have kept to - not whatever it is they're trying to do just now beyond wasting time and money.

Reminds me of an idea I had that would have been a much better finale for Enterprise than the one we got.

The parts with Archer and the Enterprise are the same. The ship is on its way back to Earth for the signing of the agreements that will give birth to the Federation, and is diverted by a call for help from the Andorians. In the end, Archer dies.

The last segment starts with a full-honours funeral for him. Among those attending are Ryker, Deanna Troi, and their son Jean-Luc.

INTERCOM: Capt. Riker, please report to the bridge.
RIKER: Computer, freeze program.
JEAN-LUC: Daaad!
RIKER: On my way, number one. Sorry. You continue without me. The program must be almost over. Computer, exit.

RIKER: Report, Harry
KIM: We received an emergency distress signal from a Klingon ship. Warp core breach imminent, crew abandoning ship.
RIKER: Is there another ship that might be able to help them?
KIM: We are their best chance, sir.
RIKER: Very well, set a course. We can’t waste a chance to show the Klingons that we are still their friends. Advise the Sisko we will be late for our rendezvous.
KIM: Yes, sir. Mr. Nog, set a course for the Klingon ship, maximum warp.
NOG: Aye, sir.

RIKER: That’s quite a coincidence. My son has to write a report about one of the parents of the Federation. He chose Capt. Archer. We were just watching his holo-biography. Do you remember how he died?
KIM: I know he died just before the Federation treaty was signed, but I don’t remember the details.
RIKER: He was killed by the Klingons. They faked a distress signal to entrap the Enterprise.
KIM: I hope WE are not flying into a trap.
RIKER: I don’t think so. Things are bad between us and them but not to that point. Not yet anyway.
TROI comes in, sits besides Riker.
RIKER: Is he upset?
TROI: Well, you did promise to watch the program with him.
RIKER: I know. I’ll make it up to him. Next time we are on Earth I’ll take him to the Fleet museum to visit the first Enterprise.
NOG: Excuse me captain, but wasn’t the first Enterprise destroyed?
RIKER: Maybe you are thinking of Kirk’s Enterprise. Archer’s is preserved in the Fleet museum.
NOG: Kirk, Archer. Why do human names have to be so similar?
KIM: Captain James T. Kirk. Somebody should write HIS holo-biography.
