Hypothetical TOS Season 4

[McAvoy]

Okay here's one.

Kirk and the crew have found a new nebula that shakes up the ship. Kirk is injured, and taken to Sick Bay, where he sleeps for a day and than awakes. When he does so... Doc McCoy doesn't recognize him, and considers him a supposed stoaway. Kirk is beyond confused, and as he's sent to the brig, he is met by Spock... and a man named Captain Holloway, who has been the captain of the Enterprise since Kirk has been captain. Now Kirk has to convince a crew that has no memory or knowledge of a James T Kirk even EXISTING as this new captain sets the ship out to head back to Earth for him to 'debrief' them about a potential invasion. Kirk knows that the second they do so, Earth and all of the Federation is doomed, so it's a ticking clock and really a bottle episode as Kirk uses everything he knows about the crew to convince them to mutiny against a Captain they all 'know' and respect for years.

Ahh that is a good one. I can see Shatner doing some overacting too in this trying to convince Spock and McCoy who he is. You can also write in some backstory stuff for McCoy and Spock as Kirk has to prove who he is. Something only Spock or McCoy would know sort of thing.
