[QUOTE]Originally posted by MrNeutron: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by PsyLiam: [qb] 1/ Almost all of those short stories would be completely unworkable in Star Trek form. Okay, "Arena" worked, but Star Trek is about how the plot influences the main characters. Taking other stories and fitting them in would be horribly jarring. Plus, a lot of those stories would be full of the "same old chiches".[/qb][/QUOTE]Clearly we disagree on this matter. Filmed (and televised) science fiction has typically lagged behind the literary variety in terms of concepts. The fact that Larry Niven was able to take one his own short stories and make it into a TAS episode illustrates that it can be done. Heck, that same story could have been done as a TNG episode with Starfleet versus the Romulans fighting over an Iconian weapon. There are a lot of other stories that could be similarly adapted. [QUOTE][qb]2/ If you got rid of "reset button stories", about 99.9% of every Star Trek story ever made would have to be burned. [/qb][/QUOTE]"Reset button stories" wouldn't include most of TOS and a lot of TNG. It would throw away most of Voyager...but who's that hurting? :D [/QB][/QUOTE]
