Thu Jun 29, 2006 7:19 pm The Dominion WINS the war! Hah! |
|
In the DS9 Companion book, Ira Steven Behr said that a possible idea for the end of DS9 was...
Quote: | And then of course the biggest alternate possibility, which was that the Federation was going to lose the Dominion War, thus setting up a rebirth of the Federation series - which later was aired in a different form anyway in "Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda." |
C'mon! How good would this have been? This would have been such a HUGE turning point for the entire franchise! Do you realize how important Sisko's return would be? How conflicted Odo would be? How shocked VOY would be when they came out of the wormhole in Endgame? How different Star Trek Insurrection and Nemesis would be? Then, we would have gotten a cool show about a Star Trek crew trying to fight off the Dominion and give a rebirth to the qaudrant. I don't know about you all, but I think it really needs it. Shake things up and make it crazy.
What do you all think of this?

That would be cool, then Endgame could have ended with Dominion ships prouncing on VOY
It could ahve set something up for a new series for sure.

Thats one of my biggest reasons for loving this idea. Can you imagine, the USS Voyager, cut off from Starfleet communication for quite a while, finally return home to see Dominion, Cardassian, and Breen ships waiting for them, preparing for a Borg attack? The show can end on a cliffhanger note. Before you VOY fans CRY, that COULD set up a VOY movie?

I think that would be impossible because it was janeway from the future...
How would you explain that part of the story then?

Then a tv series could have been set up on the "remanants" of the Federation, Romulan, and Klingon empires trying to retake what was lost. Borders are non existant anymore and it becomes a brother and brother and brother uniting against an implaciable foe that has dominated their homeworld.

Well obviously "Endgame" would have to be altered significantly. Getting rid of Janeway crapping on the Temporal Prime Directive would be NICE.

Er... your missing the point, if the dominion won the war in 2375, then clearly, in 23what ever it was in the future, janeway could not go back to 2378... wait....

I dunno but i guess that i'm one of the few that found the endgame ending quite nice... But indeed it would be altered significantly...
If Barkley survives it would be just fine by me

I'm sure all the "main" people would survive. Another GOOD addition for VOY is that before the Dominion takes over, Starfleet sends them a message, warning of them of what is happening in the Alpha quadrant. The Voyager crew would be conflicted, deciding that one little ship would not change the war. They could settle down in the Delta and make a NEW Federation. One that could one day return to the Alpha and retake what is theirs. Of course, Janeway decides against this and has the ship sent back(somehow). This would have been great VOY story telling.
They can even find a way to involve the other crews, no matter the time period to stop this threat.
James T. Kirk can be brought back to life using Borg nanoprobes ala Neelix. "A Female Shapeshifter is the leader of the Dominion you say? Give me a holodeck with a romantic setting, champagne, and two hours with her. I'll end this war in no time..."
Forget Shinzon! Picard could have fought against the Dominion, finally, on screen. "I'll try diplomatic channels first. If that doesn't work? Mr. Worf? Power main phaser banks and load torpedo bays." He could kick butt like only a proper englishman can. (Er...frenchman...)
Sisko could have fought Dukat and ascended to the Celestial Temple. He could see the threat and return, facing off against Weyoun and a squadron of Jem'Hadar. "You're beaten captain Sisko. Our Gods are victorious..." "Gods eh? Meet my Gods. Prophets?" *The Prophets blink the Dominion out of existance*
Janeway could return, fatigued from the years in the Delta quadrant. "Maybe we can just surrender and live in peace. As long as we're back in the Alpha quadrant..." "Captain? The Changelings and Jem'Hadar do not drink or eat. Coffee has been banned." "WHAT!? Prepare ramming speed!"
All joking aside, this could have pushed aside the rather...lower points of trek. Insurrection, Nemesis, and ENT. As much as I do like ASPECTS of those three, we could have gained two other movies and a new series. It could have kept the franchise alive. Unlike the way it is now, in some...limbo.

Haha...well, obviously Voyager would have ended very differently, possibly keeping them in the DQ and setting them up for a movie... YAY! LOL...

Like Founder said, "Endgame" would have been significantly altered. It probably wouldn't have even been called "Endgame."

I'm glad to see people posting in the topic.
What do people expect from the series had this happened? What would the two TNG movies be about? The potential DS9 and VOY movies? The series that goes about restarting everything?

In a way, Ent with some alterations could have fit this premise, instead of an Xindi story Arc, a story with a crew fighting off the dominon....
I think it would have been desperate at first, the last two TNG movies, would probably involve the dominion more in some way, not just a refernce (Insurrection was at the end of the war) Nemesis certainly probably wouldn't have been a plot hole to make Spiner happy and kill Data...

How so? ENT predates all of that...
Unless you're talking about somehow changing it to an Akira class with the ENT cast in the 24th century?

I agree. I think you could finally see the Dominion War from the ENT-E crew's eyes.
Data may have died, but again, not in such a dumb way. He probably would die against the Dominion.

And the potential VOY movie would, obviously bring the crew home fairly early in the movie...because the Finale would have tied up any loose ends left open in the show, and led up to them getting back...then the movie would get them home some what quickly and then it would, unfortunately, be a combined shows movie...TNG, DS9 and VOY...VOY being the main focus about getting home, and then involving a few key characters from the other two mentioned shows to work together and, not fight off the Dominion in one movie, but work towards it...and then have maybe a multiple movies to fight off the Dominion. Maybe 2 or 3...I think it would have worked...because we all would get what we want...DS9 movie, and VOY...and obviously TNG...lol.
Or, the entire first VOY movie would be about them getting home...then upon getting home set it up for combined movies to fight off the Dominion. Therefore leaving the VOY movie a completely VOY movie, but bringing in a few key characters upon Voyager's return...then leading to another 2 or 3 movies to fight off the Dominion...Alot of potential there...I think at least....

I agree with Omet. If this DID happen...I would prefer if the VOY writers were NOT involved...in ANY way. Terrible writers. No wonder Ronald D. Moore wasn't a part of it.
Plus...Don't you know? Voyager would have been destroyed the second it came back. The Dominion is too strong for them.

I voted NO because I like Federation and it would be boring if Dominion wined the war. The story would be completely changed/altered. Present end is good as it is!!!

Heh could you imagine voyager fitted with the future tech taking on dominion ships. Then again, could you imagine the Ent-E outfitted with the future tech taking on a dominion fleet

Future tech. or not, I still doubt that the ENT-E or VOY being able to take on a whole Dominion fleet.
I don't like the idea of a new show, taking place after the Dominion War, with the Dominon in power, because I feel that it would take away from DS9. The Dominion belonged to DS9 and made DS9 special. I would hate for that to be taken away.

How would it be boring? The only thing that would be altered are the last episodes of DS9 and VOY, and the last TNG movies(Both of which are considered bad) and ENT would not exist.

Care to clarify how the USS Voyager would come back with future technology? In that episode, the Dominion had not won the war and the Federation went on to live peaceful lives and develop their technology. If the Dominion had won the war, that wouldn't have happened like that, Admiral Janeway wouldn't have gone back and the USS Voyager wouldn't have the technology.

Oh common Founder where is your sense of humour.
Besides, starfleet would have to get earth and the federation back in the end. Given how much the borg foe were abused so much in VOY and how unrealistic some stories became from S4-7, I would believe almost any scenario possible for the writers to come up with.
