I've been a fan of Star Trek for decades. I have always thought that there were so many different characters and events that have appeared in the show that could have been fodder for their own series. I've also been disappointed at how many "loose ends" have been left throughout the varying series'. I had an idea that I thought would be a cool way to explore more of those characters and events and possibly tie up those "loose ends"
Star Trek series idea: "Tapestry". A series of one or two episode Star Trek Universe shows which follow "the rest of the story" or "the backstory" of any one of hundreds of one-off characters or events in the Star Trek Universe. For example: "The Traveler" from Star Trek TNG.
Each show's introduction could be the scene in which the character appeared or the event happened in a previously broadcast Star Trek episode. At the end of the introduction, a theme plays showing credits/actors, etc then as the end of the intro credits comes a shot of the final image of the intro scene is shown, it then transfers into the appearance of a tapestry, the camera closes in on it until it focuses on a single thread, then the camera "passes through" the tapestry to the tangle of multi-colored threads on the backside; follows the identified thread across the backside of the tapestry until it comes back out; the camera "follows" the thread back to the front of the tapestry; then pans out into the initial scene of the new story. The one or two episode show then closes by following the thread back to the backside of the tapestry and fades out.
If done well, this could not only provide current Star Trek fans with long-wanted closure to several "loose ends", it could also spark new interest in the entire Star Trek universe and demand for more replays.
