There is a vigorous debate apropos of a Stark Trek period peace, but I have had this notion involving a medical space station in a feasibly uncharted region of space during Capt. James T. Kirk's era. Here is the continuity and inclusion of previous characters: a medical transport spacecraft inconspicuously reached the planet on which Capt. James T. Kirk's son was killed preceding the planet's evolutionary atavism and hauled him to the space station. After miraculous and experimental medical operations, they resurrect him. The downside: he vaguely recalls his identity, history, etc., and gradually regains memories when unknowingly reminiscing or having them startled into him by various near-death escapades. Other cast members could feature the aliens of which we caught glimpses during the court scene in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. The captain could be a female humanoid extraterrestrial entity, and one of the characters could be portrayed by Forbes from Star Trek: The Next Generation (i.e., she was a rarely implemented Bajoran character). Why not even have episodes in which Capt. James T. Kirk's son rescues or administers guidance to ancestors to the current Starfleet captains (e.g., Capt. Jean-Luc Picard, Capt. Benjamin Sisko, and Capt. Kathryn Janeway)? I developed this basis after viewing Star Trek III: The Search for Spock and witnessed Capt. James T. Kirk's son being slain. Why in the world did they introduce the character just to turn around and subsequently have him eliminated? If it was solely for dramatic purposes with regard to William Shatner, there were alternatives.
