For those of us who liked "DS9" best.
I've wondered what would have happened if Gene had pitched "TOS" less Hornblowersque, less "Wagon Train to the Stars", & more "Naked City in Space'.
So, WI he does? He proposes a big space-based facility. (I imagine it looking more like Moonbase Alpha that DS9, somehow.)
Presuming there are butterflies in flight just to get it approved, let's say the cast is different: De Kelley as Th'renn [the ren] (Andorian; in the role of Odo OTL), Jeff Hunter as Pike (Th'renn's chief deputy/partner), Leonard Nimoy as Cdr H. Wendell Perry (senior JAG assigned; think of a judge or prosecutor), Paul Fix as Commodore Robert Christie (recurring; in the role of Cisco or Bareil OTL), Paul Carr as Lt Kelso (recurring; junior JAG), Ja'net Dubois as Lt T'vrel (Vulcan; senior JAG under Perry), George Takei as Dr. Phil Boyd (recurring; in the role of McCoy & Bashir OTL), Mark Lenard as Andrew Douglas Mackenzie (in the role of O'Brien/Scotty), Ossie Davis as Ambassador Sobek (recurring; in the role of Sarek), Serena Sande as Ambassador Thelev (Andorian; recurring), Majel Barret as Zorn (recurring; in the role of Quark), William Campbell as Elisel (Denebian trader; recurring), Susan Denberg as Shipmaster Vraath (Orion, recurring villain; in the role of Garak), Jimmy Doohan as Subcommander Skrek (Romulan, recurring villain; in the role of Koloth), & Shat as Captain Kludge (recurring villain, in the role of Dukat/Kang OTL).
So, does it succeed? Or does it get cancelled in the first season?
