Star trek may have been exhausted of creativity by now. Hence so many time traveling episodes and alternative timelines. At least to me it would seem when you run out of ideas you just create a time traveling episode. Time traveling is as old as TOS. Take a look at the Star trek timeline.

Now take a look at this timeline!

True, only so many things can happen in space...and with 100s of episodes written its hard to be new/creative, especially for 7 seasons of 26 episodes each.

Perhaps a George R.R. Martin approach is needed. Stop us all believing that the main crew can never be killed.

I think in the current timeline of at least TNG, I mean, it would be pretty easy to come up with concepts for episodes imagine it. From startrek enterprise (the most recent 4 season series) we found out that there was/is a military that earth has, could include that in an episode. Could have ships being built, problems with w/e with the ships, some, very very little politics, More Q episodes, perhaps a species that is on similar or higher level than Q but with corporeal forms that use technology to get into the same incorporeal state as the Q. Shit man, just get a bunch of startrek nerds high and fill a notebook.

You could bring into the mix super weapons that all the species have banned from being built, large incursions. Just these badass space battles where the federation is winning until earth either gets destroyed completely by cloaked ships/super weapon, or earth just gets a good hit that devestates the population, the scenery of seeing the crown jewel of the human race with these new buildings would be insane just to see the destruction. You could bump ahead (can't recall how far ahead in time it was, i think 2800-3000) there was an episode in Archer's enterprise that had that one time travelling dude talking/teleported archer into the future to see a space battle going on. New ship designs.

That is :

The Starship Enterprise J is commisioned and takes part in the Battle of Procyon V against the Spherebuilders as shown in Enterprise episode "Azati Prime".

Which i found fascinating. The entire season 3 focused on saving Earth from destruction. Just about every episode in that season focused on the main plot which I love instead of random sci-fi things happening like in TNG. I think maybe what did Enterprise in was the randomness of season 2 with plenty of boring episodes but when season 3 and 4 came most people stopped watching due to that earlier season 2... at least that's what happened with me.

You can't say that for sure. Even Starfleet didn't officially recognize them. They could have been much more pervasive than Bashir ever imagined.

...Bashir?

Yeah. You know, Dr. Julian Bashir. The one that was contacted by Sloan of division 31 to become an operative for him and subsequently became obsessed with rooting out section 31. At one point even nearly getting himself and O'Brien killed when they went inside Sloan's mind as he was dying to retrieve information.

Doh. Reading comprehension fail on my part, I forgot I mentioned both in the same post. I thought you were linking Bashir to the bugs so I was like wha? lol.
