You are waiting for more borg and romulans? Are you interested in a new enemy of the federation to appear or have another re-encounter like the cardassians?
How about more new antagonists?
I’d like to know more about the Vendari Ral and the remaining Emerald Chain in the 32nd century.
However, what I’d prefer over time is to see a build up to and slow unveiling of another unique antagonist as we got with the Borg.
And how can be that new antagonist?
The ones in the image of the post are all old, rehashes from classic episodes.
When the Borg first appeared towards the end of TNG season one, all we saw was destroyed colonies. It was a mystery who or what was causing this.
Or, consider how we heard about the Romulans before first seeing them in TOS.
A slow revelation of a new and unexpected opponent, very different from the ones we’ve seen before, would be much more interesting than revisiting old ones repeatedly.
I just want something new and original. No more nostalgia bait, no more member berries. Can you imagine if TNG never introduced the Borg and just stuck with Romulans? Even when they didn’t nail it right away with the Ferengi, the franchise stuck with it and ended up giving us a pretty interesting culture with some of the best characters and stories in DS9.
No one wants to take risks anymore, makes me sad.
You should check out SFA!
I second this. SFA has a whole new villain faction and tackles star trek and the federation from an entirely new angle.
I’m still planning on getting around to this, seen some clips of Paul Giamatti and he looks great as usual.
His character is great too.
Something new. Something relatable. Not a one dimensional monster. Something that makes challenges the federation’s ideals.
Like the classic meme, more courtroom battles and less spaceship battles.
What them Breen do, huh?
I have this in mind, That’s why I ask about the Breen in other post, but to be honest, I think when more you know about the Breen, more lame it becomes and works more in a mysterious way than a strong antagonic faction.
I enjoyed Discovery’s Breen arc, but I agree that I enjoyed the concept of the Breen more as a mysterious fringe-species.
The Conspiracy aliens. We’ve been waiting… so long……
Or the ones from Schisms.
Was it in the S1 finale of Discovery we saw some “Conspiracy” crawlies sizzling on a flat-top grill at the Qo’nos marketplace? No wonder they were pissed off a 100+ years later.
I don’t think I caught that! I’ll have to keep my eyes out whenever I do a rewatch.
Kirsten Beyer’s had a very creepy and innovative follow up to the Schisms aliens in her Treklit Voyager Full Circle sequence of novels.
Discovery borrowed one of her plots for the 4th season. I wouldn’t mind if they adapted some of their alien concepts for SFA.
I wish I could say I’d check it out, but my To Be Read pile is a little intimidating… maybe one day.
I want the Borg to assimilate Khan from another timeline where he is a Gorn
Settle down Satan!
You can’t stop me Kurtzman 😈
GHAAAAAAAARNNNN!
a goon!
How about something like The Culture?
Highly advanced multi-species civilization ruled by benevolent AIs?
I have a nagging feeling that something like it should have appeared in Trek at some point.
This is interesting, even without the benevolent AI, though that could be interesting as well. But what happens when The Federation runs into essentially another Federation? Do they combine and double their knowledge and territory or do they clash over differing ideals? There’s no way humans were the first species to say “hey, let’s work together,” but if they ran into, say, space capitalists, we could wind up being the USSR of a new galactic Cold War.
Ship the size of a continent slips out of the skein alongside a Federation starship and immediately runs a scan that siphons up all the art and science records onboard.
“Science officer, wtf?”
“Hey there! We are The Culture! We’ve been partying for the last few hundred cycles, and this month has been particularly wild. Everybody thinks y’all seem cool. Wanna get fucked up, go lava surfing, and chat about life? Just park that thing anywhere.”
I’d love to watch that one.
I mean, The Culture is just The Federation if it actually followed through on post-scarcity utopianism.
I’d like to see some of the novelverse villains. The Grigari come to mind.
They’re kind of like the Borg but turned up to 11.
the borg, again
The whale probe crashes into V’Ger and they head to the center of the universe where they free God^TM
Harry Mudd
A very human looking alien!
Something new that’s not shit would be great, but I wouldn’t say no to more Borg tbh.
Pick one of the lesser baddies from Voyager.
Or redo Enterprise, taking a page from SNW.
