List any Star Trek episodes (any series) that would have made great movies if they were given sequels to that episode.
A real life example would be the movie Star Trek: Wrath of Khan. It was a sequel to ST:TOS episode “Space Seed”.

It was a sequel to ST:TOS episode “Space Seed”. The interesting thing about TWOK is they actually set up the sequel with the last lines of the original episode: They did the same kind of foreshadowing with another episode, but in this case, no movie sequel was forthcoming: So yeah, I think a movie sequel to "The Doomsday Machine" could have been great. As far as I know there was no follow-up to this episode in any subsequent Star Trek series either. |

In a way the alien probe from Star Trek 4 was a variation on the weapon.
I think Skin of Evil could have got a sequel--that alien oil slick really got shafted by Picard since it wanted assisted suicide and Picard out of spite chose to leave it an isolated prisoner. Very unfair since the creature was the result of an experiment and had reason to be pitied.
It had a better grievance than Khan--in fact--they had to make Khan less independently intelligent in order to make the plot of ST 2 work because he wanted hardship and strife--survival of the fittest--and he got that on the planet.
He blamed Kirk for it--they should have found a better way to get Khan into revenge mode.
Hey-how come all his followers became blonde?

Conspiracy: the bugs were too expensive to do on a TV budget, but with a movie budget they could've worked - look at how the Borg were redone with a movie budget.
Not a specific ep, but I always thought TNG should've done a Q film - don't ask me what the film would've been about.

Where No Man Has Gone Before. I remember wishing the Kelvin reboot introduced Gary Mitchell and had him be the villain of the sequel, rather than retreading Khan and whatnot. His powers would be something with a bigger budget.

The way the episode ended was left a little open ended. Similar to a plot point used with the Borg. The aliens sent a deep space signal back to their home planet (allegedly). Suggesting that more of the parasitic aliens might intend to come to Earth eventually. Could’ve made for an interesting sequel movie. |

Hell, I think they could've use the bugs for Picard season 3 with the same storyline substituting the changelings with the bugs and would've been more fitting for the TNG reunion.
I'm assuming the bugs could be done with a modern TV budget, hell the changeling VFX was quite a step up from the DS9 years.

With modern tech and visual effects I’m sure it could be done under budget. |

I remember the bugs episode
weren't they similar to the Dax symbiote?
I know when they did that in DS9 I immediately thought of the Starfleet parasite episode.
They could have done more with Boothby the gardener.
Ray Walston was the type of actor who would fit on an episode of TOS (he never was on it right?).

But he did finish his four-year run of "My Favorite Martian" a few months before TOS premiered in 1966. Maybe Walston was considered too big to do guest star roles at the time. Or maybe he was tired of playing alien characters. |

Of course the Dax symbiote was benevolent but the bugs were manipulative, scheming, and evil. |

Thinking of something for this thread, I suddenly remembered the scrapped film: Star Trek The Beginning. This was going to continue plot threads from Enterprise, although wasn't going to feature the ship or the cast. |

Watching Disco season 5 at the moment, it feels like there should've been a follow up to The Chase long before the 32nd century, and the idea of a follow up as a TNG movie could've been something special |
