[QUOTE]Originally posted by JeffKardde: [QB] Trek X needs to establish some things about the Ent-E crew. I'm all for giving Riker his own ship. Give him LaForge as his XO. This crew has been together for how long? It's about time TPTB showed them moving on, taking new assignments. Either that, or promote Picard, and give Riker the [i]Enterprise[/i] ... Admiral Jean-Luc Picard could come aboard the [i]Enterprise[/i] on a supervisory role during a crucial mission. Ambassador Worf is also aboard, to act for Federation diplomatic interests in this particular mission. His character will not be taking over the role of chief of security, as Worf has moved BEYOND just working tactical ... it's time to let Worf grow. Captain William T. Riker has commanded the [i]Enterprise[/i] for close to two years now, shortly after the Bak'u incident, when Picard accepted a promotion to Admiral. Commander Data is the [i]Enterprise's[/i] Executive Officer, who is considering leaving Starfleet. At the beginning of the film, we learn he has recieved an offer to teach at Oxford University on Earth. Commander Geordi LaForge is still Chief Engineer aboard the [i]Enterprise[/i], but he has been offered an Executive Officer post on another starship (or two or three), and is considering them. Lt. Daniels is still chief of security. Flesh him out a bit, see more interaction. He's part of the [i]Enterprise's[/i] senior staff now, and TPTB need to treat him like it. Perhaps establish that he was Worf's assistant aboard the [i]Enterprise-D[/i] ... Deanna Troi is still aboard, of course, perhaps working on a research project about people's interaction over so many years together. Dr. Crusher is also aboard, although she has been considering transfering to a dedicated medical starshipk, which has been offered to her. Ogawa is back, now a regular doctor (she was at Starfleet Medical during Insurrection). Lt. Nog (from DS9) is aboard the [i]Enterprise[/i] as well -- he's the new Ops officer now that Data is XO. He keeps in regular contact with Chief O'Brien, which can be illustrated by having a quick comment to Riker, "the Chief sends his wishes", etc. By the end of the movie, Picard returns to Starfleet Command, Worf goes back to the Federation Embassy on Earth (where eventually he becomes a Klingon governor, per All Good Things), Data accepts the teaching position (again, All Good Things). LaForge remains on the [i]Enterprise[/i] as Executive Officer (which leads to his taking command of the [i]Challenger[/i]), Dr. Crusher transferes to the USS [i]Pasteur[/i], the medical ship (again, All Good Things), leaving Ogawa as CMO of the [i]Enterprise[/i] (akin to Future Imperfect), and Nog gets transfered down to Engineering as Chief Engineer (now that LaForge is XO). Daniels stays as CSO. Troi and Riker's relationship continues, possibly even to a marriage. All in all, it would mark an appropriate end to the TNG franchise. The characters move on their own seperate paths, yet we know that the [i]Enterprise[/i] continues her ongoing mission, with Capt. Riker and XO LaForge guiding her. That's how I think it should end. Just for comparison: <u>The Original Command Staff</u> Jean-Luc Picard -- Captain, Commanding Officer William T. Riker -- Commander, Executive Officer Data -- Lt. Commander, Operations and Second Officer Tasha Yar -- Lt, Chief of Security Geordi LaForge -- Lt (jg), Helmsman Worf -- Lt (jg), Bridge Officer Beverly Crusher -- Commander, Chief Medical Officer Deanna Troi -- Lt. Commander, Ship's Counselor <u>The Ending Command Staff</u> William T. Riker -- Captain, Commanding Officer Geordi LaForge -- Commander, Executive Officer Daniels -- Lt, Chief of Security Nog -- Lt, Chief Engineering Officer Alyssa Ogawa -- Lt. Commander, Chief Medical Officer Deanna Troi -- Commander, Ship's Counselor Frankly, I wouldn't mind seeing another movie with the above crewmembers. Bring in some fresh blood, shake things up a bit. Maybe mix in Harry Kim (assuming VOY has returned by then). I think that could work quite well ... Let me finish by saying, I really like the character of Nog. I think it would be a shame to ignore him with the end of DS9, and I think he'd make a great addition to the crew of the Starship [i]Enterprise[/i]. Hmmm ... Then, if they decided to do another Trek: TNG film with this new cast of old and new and other Treks, assuming VOY has returned by this point, they could even bring a newly promoted Lt. Harry Kim aboard as Operations Manager. [IMG]http://flare.solareclipse.net/smile.gif[/IMG] I like it. I really do. I really think this could bode well. Captain William T. Riker! Commander Geordi LaForge as the Executive Officer! Lt. Nog, as the Ferengi Chief of Engineering! Lt. Daniels as the Chief of Security! Lt. Harry Kim as the Operations Officer! Allysa Ogawa as the Doctor! Deanna Troi as the Shrink! =) Whatcha think? [/QB][/QUOTE]
