This is the real reason Neelix left Voy early. He learned about Katie’s ambassador to slave labor scam.

    I really want someone to make a tv show in the trek universe that doesn’t focus on Starfleet and just normalish lives of future earth

      I want a traditional, multi-camera 1980s-90s sitcom, following the lives of a completely ordinary and typical Klingon family.

      Like, nobody’s actually currently serving in the Klingon Defense Forces, they’re not a noble house, the adults have normal jobs, the kids have problems in school, etc. The writers just break out unashamedly cliché-ridden scripts, like it’s Family Matters or Full House or Hangin’ with Mr. Cooper.

      Just a few episode premises, off the top of my head:

      The teenage son gets waaaaay into human metal music, but nobody else in the household can stand it.

      The father of the family has his relaxing weekend ruined, when his highly religiously observant in-laws take the Day of Honor far too seriously.

      A crafty Ferengi catfishes the eldest daughter, using a holo-generator to create a whole fake boyfriend who’s too good to be true. He’s not a dashing war hero, he’s just there to steal the family’s financial access codes. The tech-savvy middle brother figures out what’s going on and reverse-catfishes the Ferengi, with a hologram of his own. But it’s a little creepy, because it’s a fake Klingon woman who convinces the scammer that she wants to adopt a Ferengi lifestyle, including the submissive servitude and constant nudity.

      Feral targs keep raiding the mother’s gagh breeding tub, which she tends in the backyard. The father and eldest son take turns watching over the area with a disruptor at the ready, but they end up shooting the neighbor’s prize show-targ instead. They only wound the beast, but the mother reveals that there’s a huge targ-breeder show the next day, and they have to scramble to take the animal to the vet and get him fixed up, before the neighbor comes home to get him.
