Parallel Treks

 

In some universes, Star Trek never existed. Instead, those universes have
  • Stork Trek (storks)
  • Stone Trek (Flintstones-style)
  • Stark Trek (Gritty and tragic film noir)
  • Stab Trek (Redshirts die violently every episode via stabbing)
  • Snark Trek (Everyone is sarcastic)
  • Swap Trek (Alternative lifestyles)
  • Swamp Trek (Hillbilly style Trek)
  • Stay Trek (Boldly going nowhere) 
  • Styx Trek (Escape from Hell if you can)
  • Shirt Trek (Fashion Trek)
  • Shart Trek (IBS trek) 
  • Sport Trek (Jocks in space)
  • Squirt Trek (water gun fights) 
  • Squint Trek (everyone is nearsighted) 
  • Scare Trek (horror version) 
  • Squash Trek (vegetarian version)
  • Stag Trek (bachelor version)
  • Stun Trek (at least one person gets comically phaser stunned per episode) 
  • Stir Trek (set in a Federation rehabilitation colony)

Stable Trek: Deep Space Nine--Season One

To generate title-based images for the first season of DS9, I asked Gemini to incorporate the title into the scene and specifically told the engine these are all DS9 episodes to avoid generic titles triggering generic images. Here's "Emissary," the pilot.

"Past Prologue"

"A Man Alone." Generic, but...I guess this could be Bajor? 

"Babel." Captures the episode's problem! 

"Captive Pursuit." The alien doesn't look much like Tosk, nor do the hunters look much like the hunters, but O'Brien is captured pretty well, and he's the focus of this episode. 

"Q-Less." Well...not the episode we got, but I would have enjoyed this.

"Dax." Huh! They went with the symbiont pools. Interesting. 

"The Passenger." That is not Dr. Bashir. 

"Move Along Home." Probably better than the episode, the weakest of the first season.

"The Nagus." Good job, Gemini. 

"Vortex." Would be better with a Federation runabout being sucked into it. 

"Battle Lines." Not bad. Love the trench. 

"The Storyteller." Not bad! Almost like Gemini watched the episode.

"Progress." Not a bad concept, but would have been way cooler if they'd incorporated some Federation tech--a shuttle, for example. 

"If Wishes Were Horses." No relation to the episode here. 

"The Forsaken." 

"Dramatis Personae." Ha. 

"Duet." Not bad at all. Kira captures exactly how I felt at the end of this episode, one of the best of the series, if not THE best.

"In the Hands of the Prophets." It's not bang on, but not bad.
