Rewrite a stupid episode of your favorite show to be better

[(Anonymous)]

So, all shows have episodes that are dumb or don't live up to their potential or have really wallbanging twists, right? If you had your way, how would you fix those episodes?

Warp 10 doesn't turn you into a goddamn salamander thing. Instead it creates a horrible time loop that locks you and your point of departure in until you can find a way to break it.

They could have it lead to the crew having to discover the true meaning of Christmas and it'd still be a better episode than Threshold was.

I'm with you on that one.

Yes.

Well I'd really like Supernatural's s7 episode where Becky marries Sam to maybe deal with female-on-male rape in a realistic way. It's a popular show, I'd prefer they didn't air such terrible things for laughs.

It's not exactly 'wallbanging' so much as 'tropes I'm sick of seeing', but I really hate the villain characterization that Doctor Who went with in Rise of the Cybermen/Age of Steel and think that the whole thing would have been better if the eradicating emotions bit had been a bug in the design rather than a feature.

Make the most recent ep of MLP a two-parter. That would be a really good start.

It's not so much a "rewrite" as a "recast," but jfc the Mike Tyson episode of SVU would have been one of the best that show's put out in years were the victim played by anyone who wasn't an unrepentant convicted rapist.

I have so much rage about just about everything in 5x13 Supernatural "The Song Remains the Same." I hate how they just up and fucked up Anna's characterization without any real explanation, I hate how it ended, I hate that Anna and Cas got one like two-second scene together before the end, AUGGGH.

The only thing I liked was Young-John!Michael. That was awesome, because Matt Cohen is pretty great.

You probably thought I'd pick a season 7 episode for DS9. But no! I pick 2x15, "Paradise". This is one of my mom's least favorite episodes ever. I think it has some potential. Unfortunately, I think the very best possible thing for it would be A.) movie-length- this thing's way too rushed- and B.) not Star Trek. But if it still has to be a DS9 story...

-First and foremost, get rid of the fucking punishment box. It's (unintentionally) kind of funny, not intimidating.
-Alixus needs a way better reason for creating the dampening field. Maybe I'm forgetting something, but a grudge against Starfleet for some reason would give her motivation and more reason to grate against Sisko.
-Play up her hypocrisy- the only way she can sustain her technology-free paradise is with some serious technology.
-More time for the story to develop would also help establish her brainwashing. It's been 10 years since the crash, but it doesn't feel that way at all. People who grew up with Federation-level luxury and have a lot of experience with advanced medicine and science aren't going to give up all their belief in that just because they're cut off from supplies. Alixus needs to establish fear and suspicion of advanced technology (claim it caused their crash?), and the writers can establish that by the colonists being way more hostile to Sisko and O'Brien until they give up their gear.
-That way, when the colonists stay there's more of an emotional payoff for the audience.
