@@Toybinger Some people as they age get grab handles and bars installed into the walls to hold on to and balance themselves, so I imagine Riker would have a bar placed to the side which he can stick one leg up on while he poops

@@oddish4352 New Star Trek. Fans have waited nearly 20 years to see RIker in command of The Titan. Instead we get old tired Riker in command of washing dishes in Kirks old cabin.
@@joshuahadams No, he was not. He commanded it but that was no different than when LaForge, Data, Deanna Troi, Dr Crusher Commanded the enterprise here and there.
@@ramrod924 There's a marked difference here. When LaForge, Data, Troi or Crusher commanded the Enterprise the CO and XO were still on board and thus took interim command as Officer of the Watch. When Worf commanded the Defiant during the Battle of Sector 001 Sisko and Kira were not on board. Worf, as acting captain with all the rights and privileges that title entails, as per naval tradition, would've been addressed as captain by the crew during those two weeks.
I wish they would do some patching up with Alexander. I think it is one of Worf’s few faults is that honestly he wasn’t a good father. I always felt this played into the “absentee black father” trope, when the writers were trying to distance the Klingons from that as much as possible since his introduction in TNG in the new makeup. We’d seen he grown to accept Alexander with his quirks in DS9, but I’d like to see a moment where he shows how much he truly adores his son and apologizes for how things happened.
See I just want the Slipstream drive in so that we can bring back Nicole de Boer as CAPTAIN Ezri Dax since she's one of the youngest remaining legacy cast members, easy to anchor a series around, and a character that didn't get enough screentime to get fully fleshed out.
@@msamour Yes. Jadzia died violently and needed a Trill host ASAP. Ezri was not ready to be a host but just sort of fell into being one. The show ended before she became a real Dax, she was still a cute-pie confused damsel Dax in transition to being a full-blown Ezri Dax in more than just name. Her full development just ran out of time... she went from being a baby Dax and ended as a child Dax. D^mn shame, I loved Ezri Dax and almost forgave the show for killing off Jadzia... almost.
@@That80sGuy1972 I'm not there yet. I am at the beginning of season 6. I haven't seen the death of Jadzia yet. Heck, I haven't even seen the wedding yet. Looking forward to it.
@@That80sGuy1972 Oh no worries! It doesn't bother me anymore. In 1998, When I was in the Navy, I was in the mess watching 7 and a guy came ans ruined the ending on purpose. I was upset.

Think of that movie with the aliens that she knows everything that happens because she's seen it before type thing. Thanks for your consideration.
Some of the Enterprise novelization should also become canon. Specifically the fate of Trip Tucker. Since his death happened in a holodeck recreation it was revealed that they actually faked his death so he could become a Romulan spy. His death in the series finale was so un-needed and stupid it left a bad taste in mouths of all the fans.
Headcanon always includes "the good that men do." It gives proper closure to Enterprise, shows what it could have been, and ties it into TOS continuity.
I would love to see the events of the DS:9 novel Unity canonized, officially bringing back Sisko and letting us see how the Gamma Quandrant is adjusting to the Founders no longer being complete and total despots following Odo's return to the Great Link and the location of more of the 100. We also would get to see more on the details of Bajor's official induction into Federation membership.
@@ericb4127 It's be easy to write. "Captain, this temporal anomalymajig is going to destroy Earth. We can stop it, but we'll have to fly Discovery right into it." "So it will destroy us?"

Titan wishes granted by Lower Decks of all things. The jazz being used for his captain's orders. Oh god, the jazz indeed. I actually really liked ST:LD as a lens on Trek issues and deep cuts.
The Odyssey Class is such a beautiful design and fits the post TNG era when ships took on a more sleek and slightly more aggressive look perfectly. It really deserves a place in alpha canon. I should pull mine out of dry dock and give it a modern refit.
MineKynoMine The accepted meaning of decimate has changed to its common usage today. It no longer refers to 10% just as sinister (for example) has a completely different meaning to its origins.

IIRC, she was fourth in command and the first three all died in rapid succession in a fight with the borg, so it was a case of her being the highest ranked person alive. She did well enough at it, though, and Starfleet was seriously short of competent people enough, that it stuck after the ship got back to a starbase.
The first book in the Titan series is Taking Wing. It's the book that outlines the formation of the Titan's crew mentioned in this video and outlays that first mission to Romulus, which is absolutely a fascinating read. Went on a camping trip just to read it. Was worth it, sitting by a lake reading about Riker, Troi, Tuvok and the Titan helping Romulus right after the events of Shinzon. :)

The Borg have an interesting story start. An entire life race of cyborgs who operate on a hive mind for the better of the collective. But by the time of Voyager and the TNG movies they had gone off the rail as if someone looked at their species bible and said, "Meh, I can do better". I've almost typed up a wall of text to show my argument for why they don't work beyond the TNG seasons and deleted it twice. Because I believe that youtube is not the place to be posting that type of stuff. Better to leave that for Reddit.
Destiny is the best borg story and what I consider to be canon in my mind. What an amazing and epic story, and it actually gives a "scarier when you don't know about them" type enemy a satisfying and interesting origin!
The Dark Mirror version of the Mirror Universe. Also Dolphin officers :D The TOS book Dreadnaught. The TOS Book Koybaishi Maru The FASA ship info esp Maulers
I thought that ST: Into Darkness lifted one of the key plots of Dreadnought, power hungry admiral builds super starship to take over. That might be the closest we get to an adaptation.
I don’t know about it being canon, but I thought that explanation in the destiny book was a super elegant and smart way of describing the origins of the Borg.
I could not agree with you more, Peter David is quite possibly the best author in the Star Trek universe since Roddenberry. His New Frontiers books deserve to be made canon.
I think the New Frontier book series was the best thing to come out of Star Trek in the last twenty years. CBS/Paramount were idiots for not optioning it from Peter David for a Star Trek series following Voyager. They should have teamed Peter David with a good producer and had them do a New Frontier series. The only problem might have been getting the actors who played the characters on board.
@Brett Hazelton It most assuredly is evolution. Why do you assume deci always meant tenth? It probably evolved from a previous word. Perhaps even one that meant something else entirely. And I guarantee there are words that you've used today, that you didn't give a second thought, but only are used how you used them because they gained new meaning through inadequate explaination, shifting use, or shifting spelling and pronunciation. Star evolved from the word for the planet Venus, which at the time was believed to be a star, and over time, all stars got labeled with the precursor for the modern word for star, because people misunderstood that it was intended to refer to only one. Which is comparable to what has happened here. Decimation meant a horrifying 10% casualty rate, the conveyance of that horror without context has led over time to it just meaning a generalized mass death rate. To argue the modern use of the word decimation is incorrect because it has deci in the name, is about as pointless as saying we aren't typing English because we can't understand English from centuries ago. Language evolves, and sometimes this is, yes, through ignorance or misunderstanding, but that doesn't make it any less valid. Language is a social construct, and like all social constructs, if it functions (in this case the people you are talking to understand what you are saying) then there is no such thing as right or wrong. Cuz it is purely utilitarian, and does not care how pretentious you get with it
These are all things I would also like to see as well, I also think though there should be more information of civilizations such as the Breen and the Tholians as both are considered to be two of the larger major powers in their respective sections of the Alpha and Beta Quadrants; not a superpower like the Federation but still on par with the Klingons and Cardassians but without the same devastation faced in the Dominion War.
Considering how often The Breen get mentioned, absolutely. Weyoun muddied the waters of clarity with his comments about the Breen and their home planet environmental conditions/love of cold. Made me want to know a lot more about them. The Tholians are the uh...crab like creatures who need heat? Archernate tortured one in "in a mirror darkly" (And he killed a Gorn)
@@killwalker ; To be more specific, The Tholians are crystalline spider-like aliens who can only survive without environmental suits in Venus like atmospheres. They are also seen in The Original Series as well not just Enterprise.

@@pwnmeisterage Good luck with that. Too many story threads would come apart in other Trek stories if you suddenly decanonized Shatner. I think the idea in the video intended on a consensus of reasonable canonization and not just a bunch of personal axes being grinded in the comments section.
There was this one novel i read a long time ago that explains Calhoun's first encounter with Star Fleet. Specifically with Captain Picard while he was commanding the Stargazer. On the shuttle ride to the ship(which Picard insisted on as opposed to the transporter as Picard wanted Calhoun to see the Stargazer from the outside first) Calhoun commented on how large the Stargazer looked. Picard just kinda shrugged that off telling him that his vessel was mid-sized compared to other ships. I guess Calhoun could not have conceived at the time that he would end up commanding a good deal larger vessel himself and, after said ships destruction, commanding an even larger vessel after that.
Changes I'd like: Romulan supernova? What Romulan supernova? If you have that then you have red matter and time travel - and that breaks too many things. Just cut the Kelvin films out completely. We've already done the Praxis exploding thing with the Klingons. We don't need a rerun. With one exception: Putting things like the Yorktown base or O'Neil cylinders into Star Trek is long overdue. I've also seen some speculation about the Cardassians joining the Federation. That might be fun.
*Circuit breakers* on all consoles and working seat belts with quick release. Life support systems that don't make the air unbreathable as soon as they lose power. Separate bridge and internal security and away team crew so your weapons officer doesn't have to leave his post in the middle of battle. Combat uniforms that have camoflauge (adaptive) instead of primary colours, are practical (pockets?) and provide some protection [padding for stunts]. Rifles that don't break when you smack someone with them - they should be tough enough to club with, advanced materials and all that.
Might be hard to build circuit breakers into plasma lines. They use highly energized plasma as their power source for pretty much everything. Seat belts WERE shown on Enterprise E in a deleted scene from the end of Nemesis, but unfortunately it was deleted and seat belts probably won't be seen on Picard. Then again, would you want to be buckled in to a seat in front of a console that is likely to explode? Might be worse than letting it blast you out of the chair. :p Life support going down has never made air unbreathable immediately, unless there was gas or something else toxic leaking and not getting sucked out by the system. They frequently have life support do down and have hours to go before risk of death.
I would so enjoy internet Nazis like Dave Cullen, who never *got* Star Trek to begin with, completely melting down over a very Jewish captain speaking Yiddish on the bridge.
peter merz it should be part of cannon as it encompasses “Enterprise “ series and the episode “the child” on STTNG. There were other connections but those 2 are key. Thank you.
Peter David has always been my favorite Star Trek Novel writer. He wrote from a point of view that could almost been seen as 'Fan Fiction', but it often made sense (like Trelane being the child of "Q", or the Borg and the 'Doomsday Machine' being connected). I for one would love to see an entire series built around the crew of the Excalibur; it would certainly be more entertaining than the vast majority of Star Trek: Discovery.
@Cthu Lutech How about an even more interesting premise? Gary Mitchell and Elizabeth Dehner from "Where No Man Has Gone Before" don't remain dead. They revive after the Enterprise leaves, keep evolving and eventually become the progenitors of the Q Continuum.
What is worth adding from Beta Cannon? Hmmm? I always thought Star Trek Online's story arc about the lost Dominion Fleet that the Prophets disappeared into the wormhole was particularly elegant. And made a ton of sense.
#6: Ael i-Mhiessan t'Rllaillieu She's practically canon already, considering the various easter eggs. Her history will have to be altered to match the current canon, but there's no reason she can't exist.
For me, the “Kirk Chronicles” by William Shatner were a fantastic continuation of the franchise after ST6 & Generations. I loved how they were interwoven with the continuing shows and films. I especially liked how it provided the opportunity for more interaction between the surviving members of the OS & TNG, DS9, and Voyager characters.
Warp 10 was broken multiple times in ToS. Twice by the Enterprise and once by an Orion scout ship. Then by Paris on Voyager in a shuttle craft. But Tom started to change because of it. Yet no one on the ToS changed because of it.
@@huntjl88 TOS uses the old warp scale, where warp 10 is 1000x lightspeed. TNG, Voyager, and DS9 use new warp scale where warp 9.9 is something like 6550x lightspeed and warp 10 is infinite. I hope they retcon the infinite velocity bullshit in the new Picard series.
@@tomastomasi975 they shoudl have just kept it as a logarithmic scale with no upper limit, where warp-1 is light speed, warp 2 is ten times light speed, warp-3 is 100 times light speed, warp-4 is 1000, warp-5 is 10,000, warp-6 is 100,000 and so on, it's an easy way to express huge numbers, without the need for long number words, hell an earlier episode could establish that the scale has been changed where picard may order a warp speed that would have been possible under the old scale, but not any more, so we get some quick and efficient exposition and move on.
Personally I really don't care much for the USS Premonition. If you're looking for more time travel though, I can't recommend Watching the Clock more. It's a book centered around Dulmur and Lucsly, the two operatives of the Department of Temporal Investigations seen in Trials and Tribble-ations. THe book expands on the afformentioned department, and ties up an awful lot of loose ends left by the time travel of Star Trek, neatly collecting them into one unified model.
It also nicely ties the end of the mission back into the beginning, bringing the mission full circle. It should definitely be canonized. And frankly, CBS should have worked with Alec Peters to turn Axanar into a series, instead of the somewhat canon insulting Discovery.
The only cannon now is TOS, TNG, DS9 and Voyager. Everything after has broken every rule Rodenberry made for Star Trek. Picard might be okay but Discovery and SNW are so cannon breaking the JJ Abrams movies now seem mild in comparison. This isn't the MCU. You can't have 20 different timelines and universes. In Star Trek time is linear and one directional. If you go back in time and change something it changes the entire future for all, not all this creates a separate timeline crap. Trust me Rodenberry is rolling is his grave.
I love that book about Garak, you didn't mention, the actor who played Garak actually write that book from his own acting notes and backstory he developed! He got it approved and they published the book. so I agree, it should be cannon, both because it was an excellent book and because it was written by the actor himself!
Agree with pretty much everything on this list. Honestly, anything that sets the stage for the events of STO would be really cool. I'm not very familiar with some of the novels you mentioned but they do sound good. I think the nods that STO is getting from the writing staff for the Picard comics is awesome and I think the reason they can get away with adding things outside of official canon to official canon is that STO is licensed under the Star Trek umbrella (just my opinion).
My first dive into the Star Trek universe were the novels, mostly the TNG/Titan relaunch, and it's what got me into the TV shows in the first place. It's nice to see a less-perfect Enterprise crew, Worf absolutely deserves to be first officer, and the Titan is just awesome. I wouldn't get mad to not see it on screen - try getting a bunch of non-humanoid aliens added into live-action TV - but they could at least mention it. Since watching DS9 and understanding why the Aventine was included in Destiny, I'm also a fan of Captain Dax. It's great that Ezri finally got the chance that Jadzia arguably could have gotten on the show. I did enjoy the Destiny series a lot (even though the novelverse is insanely complicated and I may have accidentally started with the final book), but I don't think you'd necessarily have to include those events - it simply alters a LOT of the story. Lastly, please tell us that Voyager got a really big homecoming party, because that was definitely missing from the final episode.
Things I wish were canon? -Hazard Team. -ST: New Earth and the UFPF Challenger. -Starbase 47 "Vanguard" and of course Destiny and the fate of the NX-02 Columbia.
What I'd like to see with the whole transwarp/slipstream issue is similar to what we saw in Star Trek Online's lore. They indicate in Voyager (and extend into STO) that the thing that made Transwarp unworkable during the Excelsior experiment is the fact that the technology NEEDS a system of infrastructure, a network of corridors. Essentially, stable transwarp needs a highway system. So, a Federation that starts building a Transwarp network could allow ships in the 'core worlds' relatively easy access to the frontiers, making it possible for them to maintain better support to colonies and recent additions to the Federation who have to that point not been well served by the community of worlds. Quantum Slipstream, I think, needs to be thought of as a form of one-shot rapid gate technology. Think of it as a mechanism for jumping vast distances in a single leap, like a projected wormhole, but one that requires hours or days of recharging capacitors before it can be reused, thus forcing ships that use it to resort to warp drive (the old standard) after using the slipstream. Another upside of making it essentially a temporary wormhole projector is that it would allow one ship to project the slipstream for another ship to use, thus providing a ship that needs an emergency escape whose slipstream is recharging to request a ship in a neighboring system project an escape route FOR them. Building diversity and downsides into the more powerful transportation tech means that it can be useful without being a full replacement for 'the old horse' of Warp.
This video just made me want to play STO. Sounds like I need to get to know more things to fully appreciate the new Picard show. I have been having trouble tying new things for a while. Certifiably Ingame has done us all a solid with this video.
I'd love to see Star Trek Vanguard canonized. Its a fantastic series of books which can pretty much be dropped entirely into the timeline without hitting the sides at all on the way down.
Thank you for using "decimate" correctly. It's, admittedly, an odd thing that bugs me. "We decimated their troops"...ok, cool...but they still have SO many left then. Why did you stop fighting as though the war was over?
I would like a series in the ancient past that involved the Federation with the Iconians and also perhaps the constructors of the Beta Quadrant communications array that Voyager used. There's also a theory that aliens meddled in Earth's past, such as the Annunaki and the Roswell Grays in Mexico as recorded in ancient Mexican art, perhaps a Starfleet crew ending up in the distant past, and finding Humans mining gold for a race of aliens, trying to dig in historical records to find out if they should put a stop to it or not.
Thank you for mentioning the Warp 10 thing. That never made much sense to me. If warp 10 is infinite speed then shouldn't it be Warp X or something? Then it makes Warp 13 and and other mentioned high warps make sense.
I sometimes wonder if warp 10's "infinite velocity" is like how Iconian gateways work, since those allow someone to traverse seemingly limitless distances as easily as one would move from one room to another.
@@hudsonball4702 warp 10 was broken at least 3 times in ToS. Twice by the Enterprise and once by an Orion scout ship. Plus how would you rescale the warp scale? That would be like rescaling MPH. You can't. Warp 1 is the speed of light. Warp 2 is twice the speed of light and so on. The speed of light is a constant. Only way to rescale it would be to change the definition of warp. Only reason to do that would be if it was found to be incorrect to begin with.
I am a Star Wars fan first and foremost, but I do love Star Trek. The Odyssey class is my favorite ship in all of science fiction. It's absolutely gorgeous!
There was a book after generations that had Kirk alive. The book itself "The Return" was good but i doubt it could be brought i to cannon...but it had a defiant class ship in it. Before the Dominion war showed them. It was called the USS Monitor and it did not need a cloak becuse it had a special armor that absorbed light and sensor beems...
Howdy C.Ingame, just a curiosity question , although with this video being 5 months at the time of its posting, it may not get read or replied to. Who or what group decides what is or is non canon in the Star Trek universe?
I would like to excise the events leading up to the Kelvin time-line, the Romulans losing about 150 iq points, suddenly forgetting how their own warp-drives work and the Narada retro fitting Borg tech.
@@JacksonOwex the events leading up to them are, which means "Picard" will have to deal with the utter annihilation of Romulus, which the Romulans should have been able fix on their own.
Well the supernova's shockwave spread faster than normal, which in STO was eventually explained but other ideas are always possible. Also, what's this about Romulans being dumber and forgetting how their warp drives work, I don't follow?
@@ScientistCat sorry for my late reply. In canon, the Romulans use quantum singularities (miniature black holes) to power their warp drives. So using a black hole to stop the nova's shockwave, is something they should have come up with on their own. Alternatively, Spock could have sent the relevant information through sub-space, much quicker than with that (admittedly cool-looking) shuttlecraft.
@@hansakkerman2611 It's fine, I've been AFK after posting that too. Not to mention facing problems much worse than having to wait for youtube comments... I wonder if that "red matter" had certain properties that made it more effective at this task than what the Romulans could. Maybe it created a much larger singularity than those Romulans could move or use or create. I like thinkin up plothole-filler ideas like that, so I've already pondered this particular issue.
Both "Thresholds" & TNG:"Force of Nature" need to be decanonised. These two, both about warp travel don't really add things to the lore. The TNG episode just complicates the morality of first contact even more, as now the Federation would be obligated to upgrade ("side-grade?") the ships of a newly warp-capable species to prevent damage to space-time, the story was a ham-fisted allegory to fossil fuels polluting the environment and really didn't add anything as the new "limitation" of warp drive was only mentioned in one other episode.
_Voyager's_ articulated nacelles (and/or tricyclic warp coils) were supposed to be an answer for that, but of course the whole matter just got dropped.
The STO Enterprise F and crew. Mostly because, aside from Kirayoshi O'Brian, I think they're all new characters, and would love to see the Enterprise torch officially passed to a new generation the way it was from Kirk's Enterprise to Picard's. Plus I would love to see what little glimpses we've seen of the characters through in game missions or the story blogs get expanded on.
I wasn't super happy with the Borg origin per se, but the story in that trilogy on the books around it was really good. As to the return of data in the 'beta' material was a good idea but the writing was ham fisted. I liked that Lal got to come back and that Moriarty did too. I wish Frakes wasn't so old because the titan novels that I read were pretty good and would have made a really good series especially considering that Troi and Tuvok both made it aboard.
Canonize anything written by Christopher L. Bennett ... hell just make him one of the heads in charge of star trek cannon going forward. He made time travel in trek, logically fit together. He wrote these two trek series. Star Trek: Department of Temporal Investigations Rise of the Federation
Considering what I've heard about Picard and Discovery season 3, I'd definitely rather have Star Trek online as canon now, a Federation at constant war sounds better than no Federation at all.
The Elite Force video games are awesome. It was like they where space marines. First ones in and last ones out. They could do a lot with such a concept.
My list (in ascending order of how much I want it): 5. Starfleet Marines 4. Saavik being half-Romulan and her child with Spock 3. Andorian genders 2. The augment origins as portrayed in the Khan comic 1. Weyoun 9 and Rotan'talag leading that mass escape from the Dominion (That would be so cool!)
I'm old enough to remember that the original warp scale was the warp factor cubed was the number of times it was the speed of light. Warp 1=light speed. Warp 10=1000 light speed. Going past Warp 10 is how you jump backward in time... or forward... depending upon the script of the episode. Unless something overpowers your Warp Engine, then you go Warp 13 or 14 and simply shut down somewhere very far away. Warp Drive used to be very inconsistent in its top speeds.
I wholeheartedly agree! This gave me many things to look into; as much of what you bring up are things that I've thought about and find interesting. Namely; what happened to Cardassia after DS9, what happened in Elum"s past (my favorite character in Trek), exploring the complex society of Romulus and the aftermath of Unification AND the continuted career of Captain Willian Riker and his first officer Tuvok. Thank you so much :)
I think doing a animated series not live action it would put the whole star trek universe together , have the prime timeline take over. Not discovery timeline.
New Frontier remains one of my favorite concepts for a Trek, I loved how it took minor characters and assembled something unique and fanservicey at the same time. I know its long past the time it could really be done, but it definitely was something that I could see used to inspire something new in the future.
i can totally see how just adding 9's to the warp factor will quickly become stupid, imagine the captain ordering warp 9.999999999999999 only for the crew to miss a 9 or two or accidentally add 1 to many, imagine the confusing conversation later when they discover they accidentally entered one 9 to many and eventually had to stop as the engines was suffering from to much stress, Navigation: "sorry sir, we accidentally entered warp 9.9999999999999999 instead of warp 9.999999999999999" Captain: "right... and just checking but... which one did i order?" Navigation: "sir, you ordered 9.999999999999999" Captain: "uh hu... and you entered...??" Navigation: "9.99999999999999999... no wait... ehh... starts counting 9's on his fingers, ah, yes, we entered 9.9999999999999999 sir" Captain: "defeated sigh... why must there be so damn many nines... who the hell designed this shit?" Navigation: "well, since warp 10 is impossible they just keep adding 9's, sir"
*I would love to see the Hazard Team from the two "Elite Force" FPS games to be made canon, with the explanation being them becoming a modern day incarnation of the M.A.C.O unit from "Enterprise".

They are canon. They never became non-canon. The JJ schlock films are alternate universe nonsense and the STD abomination has nothing to do with Star Trek.
@@theAverageJoe25 Baloney. Their premise of putting a cadet in command of a starship is fucking ridiculous. In TOS Kirk was in his mid thirties. He'd worked his way up to earning the position and rank of captain.
You know the worst part? The Spore Drive IS a really good idea! Too bad they just wanted to milk TOS instead of picking up after DS9 and Voyager... would be the perfect place for a starship like Discovery, no continuity errors, a whole universe to explore! If they would not commit to the study of all the lore, they should have followed that...
