Star Trek: “We, the Living Dead”

A Star Trek episode to end all Star Trek episodes, (and, more generally - story to end all stories). In this episode we discover the true essence of the Q Continuum, and some “Living Dead”: conscious beings (including humans) who reportedly died, but actually were saved and still live a prosperous life elsewhere.

This is my own invented episode of the T.V. show Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, but otherwise has some non-Star-Trek elements and in some cases actually mocks Star Trek.

This episode will contain many elements, a lot of them are common in other stories of mine:

1. Geek girls and female hackers.
2. Computers, software, maths, logic and technology.
3. Neo-Tech and Objectivism and related topics like individualism, greed and free economy.
4. Modern life.
5. History of the old world.
6. Individualism, carving your own destiny and anti-Fatalism.
7. Judaism and Israel.
8. Religion, Philosophy and Mysticism.
9. Friendship, love and human relationships.

All of these will be integrated into one coherent (or completely incoherent) whole.

I consider this piece, my most far-fetched (or as we say in Hebrew: “הזוי” or “deluded”) piece yet. However, a Star Trek enthusiast who read it said he had read much more far-fetched Star Trek fan-fiction. A likely candidate for such a work, might be Harry Potter and the Return of James T. Kirk, which I have not read, but indeed seems extremely far-fetched.
