Punch It: Writing in Star Trek

Part three of our Star Trek Voyager: The Next Generation movie trilogy The last two episodes we have grafted the Kelvinverse movie framework onto the Voyager crew. What ended up happening was the next generation of Voyagers commanding the...

What if the Voyager crew was in Star Trek Into Darkness? Last week we did a "what if" with the Voyager crew and Star Trek 09. Long story short it ended up being a kick-ass Voyager: The Next Generation. Miral and Naomi are commanding the Voyager-A...

What if Star Trek 09 had the cast of Voyager instead? This is a way out there idea that was a lot of fun to talk about. The concept is simple and followed the same idea as last week. Take a Star Trek movie and replace the crew from another show....

What if Kes stayed for all seven seasons of Star Trek: Voyager? No Seven of Nine, no writing off Kes. What if she stayed and finished the entire run of the show? This is something that we're sure many a Star Trek: Voyager fan has pondered. We...
