What are everyones' favourite ''what if?'' scenarios, (can we all choose say 5, then compare)?
for example, i often think ''what if Kirk had been killed on rura penthe before the khitomer conference?'' or ''what if the 'minds eye' plot by the romulans in tng had succeeded?'' or ''what if shinzon had eliminated picard and donatra and their cohorts?'' or ''what if the house of Duras had won the klingon civil war, or clone-Kahless had killed Gowron'' or ''what if the wormhole hadn't been mined, in the Dominion war era?'' etc......
The accompanying poll,is best series for possible 'what ifs'

I have to go with Voyager, because the setting makes a "what if?" premise so easy - just say that there's some local property or species to cause "it" to happen, and then be able to reverse it in 55 minutes. Besides, the Voyager crew almost has a patent on screwing with timelines...

I'd go with DS9. There's just so many 'what if?' possibilities in the middle of a war.

I go with Voyager. Being in an unknown territory like that with no support results in a lot of what ifs.

I'm going with DS9 because i want to see what can happen now that the War is over!

Enterprise. What if Manny Coto had been in charge from the start? It could have been a great series.

And yes, I know that isn't what Granite was talking about, but the point stands.

There's a thought. For starters it wouldn't be the first Trek show to be cancelled since TOS.

TOS was far above ENT. To think that they both got cancelled...

TOS was just to far aheah of its time i think.

I still getting my head around the idea that TNG is 20 years old! I remember the soiree my friends and I had to watch the premier!

BTW - Thank the Lord it got better than "Encounter at Farpoint"...

DS9 ... the show had quite the complex storylines to begin with ... converging and diverging quite nicely. A few monkey wrenches would have caused staggering changes.

Yeah. Gotta agree there. And are you the same Zeb from theforce.net? If so, welcome!

I originally was going to say Enterprise, but then I thought to myself, the series already had a bunch of what-ifs in it, like, what if phasers were invented before TOS, or what if the Vulcans had a civil war, or what if we encountered the Borg before Q sent Enterprise D to the Delta Quadrant, but I decided to go with Voyager instead.

What if?!

What is the best series, for 'what if' scenarios?
