I am now working on a brand new version of this edit, I found myself combing over the original, rather messier version lately and realized I could tell the story in just about the same length of time as some of the theatrical TNG movies. The current draft sits at 102 minutes.

I used only four of the ten episodes in this season, many things already established are usually recapped in exposition throughout the episodes I’ve used, and the focus is balanced between the Dominion threat, Jack’s secrets, and the looming threat of the Borg.

All of the codas at the end of the tenth episode have been removed to tighten pacing and there is a brand new alternative ending.

Change List

-Modern Star Trek Logo
-A long-distance shot off a ship in space, exactly like how episode one begins, the shot makes it difficult to make out at first, so you can imagine it’s the Titan
-We then cut to footage from the episode “Imposters”, and Ro and Picard making plans to deceive the Changelings
-The remainder of “Imposters” plays out and we cut straight to the next episode with Picard and Jack talking in the bar
-After Picard is informed of an arrival and he takes one last drink, we cut to the next episode and The Enterprise D crew reunite to discuss the Changeling threat and Jack
-Jack and Troi have their meeting, Troi learns the truth about the mysterious red door.
-Remaining two episodes play out until Picard welcomes Jack aboard the Enterprise-D.
-Added Guinan bar scene from season two
-Jack joins the Enterprise G
-Final shot is of the Enterprise D and Enterprise G soaring through the starship graveyard.
