WARNING: This thread includes spoilers of the very last DS9 episodes and maybe even recent Voyager episodes!

What do I mean with the title? Allow me to explain:

When I saw First Contact we (the people in Holland) hadn't seen 'Way of the Warrior' yet. We did know about the Defiant, but we were surpriced to see Worf on board.

Trek X is probably, I repeat: PROBABLY going to be a TNG/DS9 hybrid, or may even include Voyager...
There are bound to be countries out there who haven't seen either the last DS9 episodes or even the last Voyager eps by that time.

So, how will they react when they see Picard and Janeway (wearing the latest in Starfleet fashion) in Kira's office. Janeway asking: "What happened to Sisko?", and Kira replying: "He's dead Jane...".

I can hear people going "What the F*CK??" in Dolby Surround Stereo...

See what I mean???

Erm... Last I heard, there were no plans for the next movie to be anything but a purely TNG story, right?

Well, last I heard, there weren't any plans for the next movie period, beyond whatever vague "I wonder what our next movie should be" thoughts that are running around in Berman and co.'s heads.

The next movie will involve people on a starship and/or station.

Posted by Michael Dracon (Member # 4) on :

I guess that answers the question with a big NO...

First: I added the $$$$ for savety, just in case we were going to discuss something of DS9 or Voyager....

Second: Let's turn this into a question:

Do you want to see a movie that shows the 'final state' of DS9, or even to show Voyager (if the movie is shown after Voyager's 7th season AND if Voyager makes it home)???

I'd like to see any movie except for the following two plots:
- It's a DS9 "reunion" movie, and miraculously O'Brien suddenly returns from Earth or wherever he has gone, accidentally meets Worf, and they have nothing better to do than go to the Prophets to meet Sisko to go search Odo. Just in case the appearance of Worf in Insurrection was not annoying enough...
- It's a TNG movie where characters are systematically being killed off because the actors' financial demands are too high (Stewart) or they don't want to play an aging android (Spiner).
I hate if such real world copnsiderations lead to a ludicrous plot. In this case I would prefer a Trek movie with completely unknown actors maybe in the Pre-TOS era.

If Voyager makes it home before the end of her series or during the last episode of her series, my belief is that there will never be a movie made about her. I think it's too bad cause I'd love to see what happens to the Doc and Seven.

If the series end with the crew still on their way home, maybe.

I want to see a DS9 crossover with the TNG cast on the big screen but the fan concensus seems to be that there should be one more TNG movie first.

Is Sisko dead? He is "With the Prophets". But does that mean that he was transported into their realm before dying, or did he die as a human and was then resurrected some sort of spiritual being like the Prophets?

I think it's open to debate and was intentionally left vague.

That's more like it

Let me answer my own question:

I'd like to see a small TNG/DS9 crossover that would not be a major spoiler. For example: Include Bashir and Ezri in the movie, or something like that.
I don't think it's a good idea to put much in Trek X of what happened in DS9's last episodes. Make it an overal TNG movie with a bit of DS9.

As for the "He's dead Jane" above, that was supposed to be a joke. It sounds a lot like Bones' famous words: "He's dead Jim".

I think it's a great idea to make a movie with Sisko, but not until movie #11 or #12 or so.

Posted by Aban Rune (Member # 226) on :

Only problem with having parts of DS9 in the movie without explaining what happened after, is that by the time we get around to the issue again, 6 or 7 years have gone by and so much of the story has been lost.

Now that I think about though, a 7 year pick up wouldn't be that bad as long as we find out a little about what happened to Bajor DS9 and the Federation in the wake of the war before then.

I wouldn't be surprised if they try to do another borg movie. Then you could bring in Janeway and Seven at the least. Maybe a combination of my idea of the beginning of a new era of peace in Alpha and an all-out borg attack?

Posted by Bernd (Member # 6) on :

I think the Borg plot is exhausted, unless they come up with an exciting new revelation or turning-point. Maybe something about their true origin. Not a simple Borg attack, please, even if it't hundreds of cubes which would look great on the big screen. The Borg would have to be defeated within 90 minutes or so, and here we go again.
