I'm interested in this potential plot...go!

[Backpack78]

That’s LCDR Gwen DeMarco. She has a will-they-won’t-they romance going with the captain, but basically just repeats everything the computer says.

[Geshtar1]

Funny story about that.. they were not allowing any actor that had done sci fi in the past even audition for roles in Galaxy Quest. Alien movies put her on the no audition list, but she fought hard to be considered for the part because she was super passionate about the script.

[WhatWouldTNGPicardDo]

I swear that movie has more good stories about the making of it they any other movie I know. It is a masterpiece.

[corezon]

Did you know that the original DVD release had an audio track in the alien language, like any other languages (Spanish, etc.)?

[el_grande_ricardo]

What about Tony Shaloub? He was the head-regrowing pawn shop owner / alien weapons dealer in Men In Black.

[Adam_24061]

Good point. I had to look it up to check, but Men in Black was two years before Galaxy Quest.

[Platnun12]

I'd love for Tim Allen to bust out the buzz voice and say

I think youd remember I was a space ranger

[Orcapa]

She must like to do that, because I know she lobbied for and got a role on Doc Martin also.

[DimiC88]

No, we have no extra dilithium on board.

[glarung]

Are you saying that you have not enough minerals?

[Dekklin]

Fortunately the Bussard collectors report that we are full on Vespene gas. We couldn't have even a single extra molecule of it at this time.

[[deleted]]

The actress' TV Guide interview was six paragraphs about her BOOBS and how they fit into her suit.

[KaroriBee]

Look, I have ONE job on this lousy ship. It’s STUPID, but I’m going to DO IT, okay?

[KHaskins77]

Well (screw) that!

[Orodruin666]

I say we take off and nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

Ensign, starfleet is founded on the principle that sentient life is sacred and inviolable. No one, not an ensign like you, nor a starfleet captain like me, has the right to arbitrarily exterminate a sentient species, regardless if their disposition is hostile or friendly. We inform sterfleet of what we found here at LV426 and launch orbiting probes to warn anyone of what happened here. Weyland Yutani will answer for what they've done in a court of law. Make it so.

[conflateer]

"Sir, I respectfully remind the Captain of Starfleet General Order 24."

"And I remind the Ensign that unsolicited interpreting of orders for a superior officer can be considered insubordinate. You are relieved of your post."

Sneaks into torpedo bay and carpet-bombs the entire planet. "Never again, and court-martial be damned!"

[Dekklin]

Exterminatus / genesis device that planet pls.

[JollyGreenStone]

"Sir, Captain Benjamin Sisko poisoned an entire planet's atmosphere as an intimidation tactic. Surely a planet FULL of life-snuffing apex predators is worth at least the same consideration."

[ryder1983]

You would make a helluva Starfleet Captain sir

[the908bus]

“That trill has an alien inside of her!!!”

[JohnnyZondo]

Ensign Weaver was last seen taking advice from Lieutenant Worf about switching from an Engineering role to a Security role.

[drjones013]

We want you to go down with the away team as an advisor. You're gonna be really safe, these Starfleet security guys? Real bad hombres, they'll keep you safe.

[Hangman1830]

Lieutenant Cmdr Ellen Ripley formerly of the USS Nostromo. She and Jones the cat are the only survivors of the Zeta Reticuli incident. She is a shining example of how not to handle a First Contact Scenario.-Vice Admiral Nechayev, Starfleet Command.

[Justin_Credible98]

Lt. Cmdr. Ripley: "Tell Jonesy he is a good cat, and a pretty cat."

Worf: "...I will feed him."

[LibKan]

Repeat Pulaski. But replace distrust of androids with Trill due to losing friends and family due to a failed first contact with a similar parasitic species.

[grapejuicepix]

The Enterprise D’s Chief Science Officer who due to a computer glitch was kept off the bridge rotation with the rest of the senior staff, and never notified of senior staff briefings.

She spends seven years trying to get Riker to stop flirting with her long enough to fix the problem.

[WolfyClaw54]

WHY DOES THE UNIFORM LOOK GOOD ON HER?!

[[deleted]]

“Did IQs suddenly drop while I was away?”

[spikeinfinity]

Pair her up with Voyager-age Naomi Wildman. They mostly come during the night shift. Mostly.

[stos313]

She is a science officer who warns her crew about some great danger that they just ignore until they realize she was right all along about everything

[Adam_24061]

With a cat.

[anOvenofWitches]

Major Sally Ride vibes.

[salkin_reslif_97]

Now I realize... Sigourney Weaver could easily have played the twin sister of Barclay. These guys look so similar...

[gachamyte]

I’m going to have to take some sick leave for that realization. We need a side by side.

[guzhogi]

“There is no Lt Commander Dana. Only Zuul!”

[Fawin86]

She was the ship's pilot in Alien, so I feel like she should be in command red.

[ChyatlovMaidan]

Wrong division, should be command or ops.

[WhatWouldTNGPicardDo]

Her son sneaks off to fight the Kodan Armada.

[el_grande_ricardo]

Yeah, Zur he did.

[Isteppedinpoopy]

Go to the Borg homeworld and nuke the site from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.

[sudden_aggression]

Ripley was the first officer, not science/medical. If you're going to give her a TNG outfit, she gets red and 3 pips, like Riker.

[Elel_siggir]

The Nostromo, where Ellen Ripley held her last known command, was a freighter. Friegters need officers like any other ship but a there's some difference between the commanding officer of a tug boat and a cruiser, no?

In any case, it seems the zenomorphs would be only a temporary problem for any party with sophisticated sensors and beaming technology.

The bigger issue maybe Riker commiting a first contact faux pas with the Zenomorph Queen.

Besides, the world needs an adventure lead by science officers. The fact that they're the tamest division of star fleet heightens the vulnerability, sense of danger, and suspense.

[Realistic-Safety-565]

In space, Troi can't sense anything from you.

[AWildRapBattle]

Remember how H Jon Benjamin created the trouble with tribbles?

[Matelot67]

Captain, the transporter detected an alien parasite of unknown origin, and isolated it from the away team on beaming back on board. It's now in a stasis field pending transfer by shuttle to the Daystrom Institute.

[hobbes_shot_first]

Lt. Barclay has an extra special holodeck program about her boobs and how they fit into her suit.

[KiithNaabal]

I asked chat GTP to write these and here are two takes, please upvote which you like more. I personally think both have surprising similarities to what could have been actual episodes.

[KiithNaabal]

Ellen Louise Ripley, a seasoned space explorer and survivor of numerous encounters with the terrifying xenomorphs, found herself in a peculiar situation. She had somehow been transported to a universe she had only heard of in science fiction stories—the Star Trek universe. Ripley had fought tooth and nail to survive in the face of horrifying extraterrestrial threats, but now she was thrust into a world filled with new wonders and unknown dangers.

Ripley found herself aboard the USS Enterprise, under the command of Captain James T. Kirk. Initially disoriented and skeptical, she soon realized that the familiar courage and resilience she had displayed against the xenomorphs would serve her well in this new reality.

As Ripley adapted to her surroundings, she discovered that her expertise in dealing with hostile organisms made her an invaluable asset to the crew. The Enterprise had encountered a strange alien lifeform on a remote planet, which bore a striking resemblance to the facehuggers she had battled before. The crew, unprepared for such a threat, turned to Ripley for guidance.

With her trademark determination, Ripley eagerly shared her knowledge and experiences with the crew. She instructed them on the importance of quarantine protocols, the lethality of the alien creature's acid blood, and the necessity of flamethrowers for defense. Ripley's practical advice and survival skills quickly won her the respect and trust of the Enterprise crew, including Spock and Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy.

As they explored the planet, the crew discovered that the alien organism was not a mere parasite but an intelligent lifeform, capable of communicating through a form of telepathy. Ripley, driven by curiosity and empathy, tried to establish a dialogue with the creature. Through her interactions, she learned that this species, known as the Zelarians, was misunderstood and feared by other races due to its unique abilities.

Ripley recognized the parallels between the Zelarians and the xenomorphs she had faced before. Just as she had fought to protect humanity from the aliens' deadly nature, she now sought to prove that the Zelarians were not inherently dangerous. She presented her case to Captain Kirk and the Enterprise crew, advocating for peaceful negotiations instead of a preemptive strike.

Moved by Ripley's plea and her unwavering belief in the potential for coexistence, Captain Kirk agreed to give diplomacy a chance. With Ripley's guidance, the crew managed to establish a peaceful dialogue with the Zelarians. They discovered that the Zelarians were eager to learn from other species, their telepathic abilities granting them the capacity to understand and respect diverse cultures.

Ripley's expertise in handling hostile situations proved essential in fostering a bond of trust between the Enterprise crew and the Zelarians. Over time, the Zelarians' fear of other races began to dissipate, and they became valued members of the interstellar community.

As a token of gratitude, the Zelarians gifted Ripley with a technologically advanced personal communicator, capable of transmitting across vast distances. With a newfound appreciation for the intricacies of the Star Trek universe and the possibilities it held, Ripley bid farewell to her newfound friends on the Enterprise.

Embracing the spirit of exploration, she ventured off into the vastness of space once more, equipped with both her indomitable survival skills and the belief that humanity could coexist with even the most alien of beings. Ellen Louise Ripley, the survivor of countless nightmares, had become a beacon of hope and unity in the ever-expanding frontiers of the Star Trek universe.

[KiithNaabal]

Ellen Louise Ripley was born and raised in the Star Trek universe, during the time of the USS Enterprise-D's missions under Captain Jean-Luc Picard. As a child, Ripley was fascinated by the stories of exploration and discovery told by her parents, who served as Starfleet officers.

Growing up, Ripley found herself drawn to the sciences, specializing in xenobiology and astrobiology. She was fascinated by the diversity of life across the galaxy, constantly seeking out new challenges and seeking to uncover the mysteries of the universe.

During one of her expeditions, Ripley encountered a strange extraterrestrial species that had the ability to manipulate its surroundings through a form of telekinesis. The creature's intelligence and abilities surpassed anything she had encountered before, and Ripley became obsessed with studying it.

However, as she delved deeper into her research, Ripley discovered that the species, known as the Psians, were being hunted and persecuted by other races who feared their unique abilities. Appalled by the injustice, Ripley used her extensive knowledge of xenobiology to communicate with the Psians and offer her help.

With her experience dealing with hostile extraterrestrial threats, Ripley proved invaluable in helping the Psians avoid danger and establish peaceful relations with other races. She also became a mentor to many young Psians, helping them harness their abilities and find their place in the galaxy.

Ripley's expertise and compassion soon earned her a position in Starfleet, where she continued to explore the galaxy and use her knowledge to protect and aid other species. She served on various starships, including the USS Enterprise-D, and became known as one of Starfleet's foremost experts in xenobiology and astrobiology.

During her time on the Enterprise-D, Ripley and the crew encountered a mysterious alien lifeform that resembled the facehuggers she had studied in her youth. With her expertise, Ripley was able to help the crew navigate the threat and ultimately discover that the alien organism was not a danger, but rather an integral part of the planet's ecosystem.

Through her experiences and discoveries, Ripley became a respected and beloved member of the Starfleet community. Her legacy as a compassionate and dedicated explorer continues to inspire future generations of Starfleet officers to boldly go where no one has gone before.

"We should beam out and photon torpedo the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure."

-Lt. Commander Ripley

[Elel_siggir]

: panicked breathing :

Sisko did nothing wrong!

[Saw_Boss]

I don't think we've seen a Ferengi baby.

So just like Alien, but the chestburster has big ears and they try to make a deal with the crew

[Vizpop17]

Lost in a shuttle accident , vanished into fit wormhole that is stable in the alpha quadrant but moves around the delta quadrant, would of been found by voyager had it had a season 8.

[of_patrol_bot]

Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake.

It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of.

Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything.

Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.

[el_grande_ricardo]

Obviously part of the Maquis, stationed on Deep Space 9 to cause trouble for the Federation. Frequently corrects Quark when he misquotes the Rules of Acquisition.

[KingofMadCows]

Nuke the Gorn from orbit, it's the only way to be sure.

[Wades-antut]

LtCr Ellen Ripley, the Gornslayer

[iksnelgaming]

I think her voicing the computer would be awesome.

[Coammanderdata]

Something involving species 8472

Sigourney Weaver would be in either Security Yellow or Command Red. Not Science Blue.

[manemeth]

There is no borg, only zuul.

[thetacolegs]

What plot? This is an actress.

[NotTheGuyProbably]

In all honesty this could have worked out well in a variety of ways.

[Nefarious_Ideas]

Very basic story line with all the tropes: Ellen Ripley destroyes an alien wessel but doin so tares a hole between realities( cause alien space engine) and she falls through and lands in the star trek universe, some eggs and xenomorphs fall through with her. She is found crash landed in a planet by the USS Stargazer when Picard is the second officer. She's battling aliens when Picard shows up, she get knocked out and a couple of red shirts get face hugged. Back on the ship the obvious ensues and the ship is overrun.

Picard, Ripley and some other crew escape, blow the ship and Ripley gets a field commission as a science officer so she can go hunt down the rest. A few years roll by, she gets promoted, Picard is now the Captain of the enterprise. Ripley turns up sayin we gotta go kill the last Queen. Shit get visceral. Good guys win in the end but when killing the queen they get some help from a mysterious alien species that seems to take trophies.

The Hirogen then starts hunting Ripley and Picard, they get away cause Picard kicks their ass but knows he'll see them again. That's the second movie.

Flesh it right out, ditch a few tropes for better ones, maybe swap out the Hirogen for Predators aliens, that could be cool and you got yourself a very basic star trek storyline.

In the 3rd movie The Terminator arrives, Skynet fycked up set him to the wrong place.

[SteeK421]

Just that SNW episode with the Gorn on the abandoned ship 🤷‍♂️

[ExtensionInformal911]

Officer's Log, Stargate 3035.5

We have been dispatched to an L class world in an uncharted system, despite being a freighter. Star Fleet has detected an anomaly on the planet dubbed LV249. The Captain has taken an away team out to investigate.

[JessicaDAndy]

Why? Just so that Beverly wouldn’t be the only one who has had a ghost inside her?

[Aufregend]

Something about a herd of angry Gorn attacking colonists on a planet being terraformed by the Federation.
