Post Bad Ideas for a TOS Remake That Follows After Steange New Worlds!

A strange godlike being who traveled from the delta quadrant to test the mercy of humanity brings the Tuvix flower with him and spreads it aboard the enterprise. Most of them are vacuumed up by ensigns but one makes it into the teleporter when Scotty and Spock are transporting. Creating Scock. The rest of the episode is about convincing this new live form to call himself Spotty

It's actually a follow up for TNG, but I think there is potential in a movie about Q getting bored and making a star ship to explore space in staffed entirely by weird variations of Picard clones.
- It could be called Qink

Tribble racing.
- That would not only be cute but doable. Just surround a windup car with fuzz.
  
  Unfortunately this is modern Trek, so it's the story of how some recycled original series character lost everything to their crippling gambling addiction by betting on tribble races.

I never played The Olden Scrolls

A lovingly and tastefully done remaster of TAS in the art style of Lower Decks.
Except they use AI to revoice everything because we cannot have nice things.
- I'd go the other way and remake some lower decks episodes in the TAS style
  
  This would also be cool and good. But it's too cool for CBS to let us have, so there has to be a monkey's paw aspect to it.
  William Shatner insists on voicing all characters. No, fuck, that would be too funny.
  It only gets shown once at SDCC, they collect all phones and cameras at the door, and it gets deleted after.

it took me a while to realize its supposed to be bad ideas so i scrapped my effortpost about a mirror universe romulan socialist republic in favor of a 'a 1:1 remake of the original finale'

Mirror universe action schlock
- Have I got news for you
- There are some fantastic comics inolving the tos mirror universe that take place in and were released between wrath of khan and search for spock that are retconned as hell by search for spock but they actually roll with it and work it into the plot. The marvel star trek comics from the 80s aren't too bad. They're kinda bad, but they're light fun that weages around whatever the movies decide happens oddly well

Do the Futurama Welshy bit
But deadly serious
- That is literally the red shirt trope and it happens enough already to have the trope named after it
  
  I meant more like Scotty not being able to keep up with the Enterprise's musical reviews because he can't yodel

Mirror universe from the universe where the Borg have taken over the Federation and all that's left is scraps of the fleet.
- Every episode opens assuring us the Borg have a plan but it becomes increasingly apparent the closer you get to season 5 that neither the Borg nor the showrunners had much of one
