Picard-era Fan Fiction

A riposte to "Discovery" methinks-but the "new Star Trek TV show" should have been set in the Picard/Next Generation Era.

It would, overall, have a very similar plot. Multiple flashbacks to the Federation-Klingon conflict in Kirk's time would occur as several characters would be veterans of that conflict.
The plot concerns a Romulan invasion of the Federation after their home-world was destroyed in Star Trek by a supernova. It is basically a revenge plot by Romulan survivors.

There is also the issue of what the joint Federation-Klingon occupation of Cardassia turns into. I want to introduce the idea that many long-term Federation planets were members in name only, having joined the Federation only to become trapped in or "behind" various Neutral Zones. We can explore these "new" races with the crew of our star ship.

What would you do?

What would you do if you knew you had a hundred years to live? Perhaps you wouldn't care. What if you knew you had a hundred years to act before you knew society would collapse? Perhaps you are obsessed with the threat from Russia, overpopulation or migration? Perhaps you know about climate change but don't care. But imagine how our government would act if humanity's biggest threat wasn't itself but another species? All governments, yours and mine, would be on a perpetual war footing. So why don't we all REBEL? Because twenty years ago we collectively had a hundred years to live. Twenty years ago it would have been reasonable for: 1. The Pope and the Catholic Church to embrace contraception 2. Ditto the American Right 3. The UK government to ban people from driving a petrol-driven car on a Sunday 4. The UK government to give free bus travel to everyone under 25 and the unemployed 5. Governments around the world to replace coal powered methods of ge

UFO

Time to debunk the extra-terrestrial hypothesis? Yes. Let's use our imaginations and consider non-ET explanations for this phenomenon. 1. UFOs are an aerial plasma phenomenon similar to ball lightning. This explains why they appear to follow aircraft and apparently interfere with electronic devices. 2. UFO phenomena are a result of individuals witnessing top-secret military technology. By deliberately associating the phenomenon with aliens, the government can discredit any witnesses and keep any technology it wishes out of the public domain. They could even have access to free energy but believe this would disrupt the economy if it were ever revealed. By promoting the Extra-Terrestrial Hypothesis, the government and the corporations that support it stay in power at everyone else's expense. Presumably this is a CIA-style psychological operations programme. 3. UFOs are intelligent entities in of themselves. The abduction phenomena could be a kind of vision by the abducte
