12 Abandoned Star Trek Ideas That Would Have Been Incredible

A script by Steven DeKnight for Deep Space Nine was simply going to be called 'Giant' and would have placed a humorous bent on Ferengi evolution. Worf, while accompanying Jadzia Dax for a drink in Quark's bar would have found a Ferengi hitting on Jadzia and angrily dismissed him. He would have uttered the line: 'There's no honour fighting a single Ferengi', only to hear:

'I'd say the same thing about Klingons' from behind him. Worf would then be faced with a Ferengi who was at least his equal in height and body-mass and the two of them would engage in a traditional bar-room brawl. Eventually, it would turn out that these two Ferengi (one little and one large) were brothers, on the run from Ferengi space.

Worf and Dax would have been tasked with escorting them back there, discovering that the two of them had discovered a scientific formula to activate the genes for physical strength and prowess that was deep within the Ferengi genome. They explain that Ferengi were once large and strong, but had developed down an evolutionary path to be smaller, sneakier and thus not considered a threat by larger species.

When the four of them were attacked by Jem'Hadar on the way, they'd all have to work together to survive, crashed on a small planet. Eventually, Worf would have to acknowledge the history of the Ferengi as warriors in their own right.

Could've been fun.
