The Kelvin timeline's Porthos appears in this continuity after the accident that Scotty mentions in Star Trek '09. The cross-timeline teleportation has made him the smartest dog to have ever live, and he plots to steal a shuttle to accelerate to Warp 10 to force Spock to hyper-evolve into a super intelligent dog as well, so Porthos has a friend who can truly understand him.

Steve, the game McCoy wins has to be dominoes. That will give him the bones nickname.

[JessieGender]

Idk, that emony Dax cameo sounds pretttyyyy fun. /s

[Cheekster]

An episode where O’Brian crosses a witch who curses him to suffer in the future.

[mrtmusic]

Honestly the Dax and Phlox ideas are actually fantastic

[SerpenThrope]

I'll be honest: your Chekov episode could work. It would finally confirm Chekov was serving in the Lower Decks during Space Seed.

The sarcasm was so thick and warm, it filled my entire coffee pot.

[caravaggio]

You're going to feel bad now if one of these plots ends up playing out Steve.

[JayMiller]

I personally need an episode near the end of the show introducing budget cuts to starfleet explaining why the ship looks a lot cheaper in the future.

Pike: Number One, I think it's time I promote McCoy above M'Benga.
No.1: Really? Because of that stupid poker game?!
Pike: No. I just watched some security footage and it turns out he murdered that Klingon.

[CaptainAndy]

There definitely need to be more of Spock’s retconned siblings. Ideally a flashback to Spock, Michael and Sybok playing as children where they argue over who gets to be leader of the gang, and Sybok vows to go and start his own gang, foreshadowing his future as a religious cult leader.

Steve: "IS THIS WHAT YOU WANTED?!!"
Me: "Yes! More, more, MORE!!!"

[ShinmaWa]

The subtle call-out to not only the plot but to exact dialogue of Back to the Future was not only awesome, but made me laugh out loud. Loved it.

[DuncanTheSinger]

A series long arc showing how Uhura learned the fan dance please

[kwellada-ssmt]

All right, Steve, probably time to take a break from the Star Trek subreddits.

[DuncanTheSinger]

I hope Riker was playing trombone with the band when his great grandparents had their first kiss.

[jacobktan]

I think you need to combine your Riker and Q plots. Q sends Riker back in time as the chef of the Enterprise to get his great great grandparents together. Q poses as a food critic just to mess with him.

[HBHaga]

The wacky adventures of crewman Janice Rand as she struggles to find a purpose aboard the Enterprise beyond making coffee and delivering food.

[SeanTBarrett]

"roots it in a single traumatic event like all good character writing"

The only joke better than when a speaker can't resist turning the subtext into the text is when a speaker can't resist turning the sarcastic subtext into the sarcastic text.

[DalekOfChaos]

My pitch is to make a Khan prequel.

It's about the Eugenics Wars. From Khan's inception, how a group of ambitious scientists attempt to improve the race through selective breeding and genetic engineering, to Khan's rule of the earth and to his exile.

Dev Patel plays Khan.
