Star Trek 12 news/countdown thread

I like how this one is all "THIS TIME IT'S PERSONAL" when the previous movie villain killed Kirk's dad and Spock's mum.

They could've ended up with a Trekverse 'Brady Bunch' of sorts. Widower Ambassador Sarek could marry Kirk's widowed mom in between STxI and STxII. Then Kirk & Spock would be (step)brothers.
 
Back when TNG had an open writing policy I was tempted to write an episode where Trois mum married Riker's dad.

Got as far as getting the writers guide sent to me, but then there was a massive list of things you couldn't write an episode about, specifically mentioning both those characters.

Did you participate in the SNW Contests back when PB was having them? They were somewhat similar &/or analogous to what you describe here & your experience back when TNG had their open writing policy.

But your story (idea) would've made Troi & Riker "siblings". What would happen later were THEY to get married? Troi'd already have Riker as her last name. Reminds me, briefly ODO was Troi's (step)father. Remember that?

This is the plot of four of the six seasons of Gossip Girl.
 
Adults don't have to take the surnames of their new parents when their own parents remarry, even kids don't have to do that.

I'm not in america, so most of the initials you just said mean nothing to me.

I had a few ideas before I got the pack, but its arrival put so many restrictions on what you could put in a story I didn't even try.

No original series characters, no characters already made up by someone else, no Barcley or Guinan, no Q, klingons, Romulans, Ferengi, Borg, try not to have too many extra's or expensive sounding sets.

In fact they went out of their way to encourage you to make a bottle show featuring just the main cast, and if you could write it in such a way that most of the lights could be turned off, even better.
 
Lots of stuff coming out now. It really does sound as though they've taken a few different TOS villains and turned them into one character.
