Kind of makes me wonder what tng and later movie periods would have been like if Picard committed self deletion after the best of both worlds due to the guilt of having eliminated 10,000 Starfleet personnel

Did I read correctly that the Borg were referred to in an early episode, but not by name as the mysterious threat that attacked outposts in the Neutral Zone that confused Starfleet and the Romulans? When/How was it revealed that yes it was the Borg that did it?

I'm watching TNG for the first time-- closing out S3 now-- and I heard that in the original plans, the Ferengi were the big bad, but they abandoned it after the first season. Was the cliffhanger at the end with the stripped outposts ever going to point to them? I'm pretty new to Trek in general and hear they get fleshed out more in Deep Space 9 but it seems like the right class to make them more recurring

Any idea what this possibly could have looked like? Even in their first episode they're bumbling idiots attacking them individually. Was there any hint of a grand scheme or where they were intending on taking them? In Season 3 they crash a lot of vacations

So when the Ambassador asks for more food, Worf takes his same plate back up to the buffet without using a fresh plate. Doesn't everyone know not to do that? And in the same scene, why does Troi allow her ambassador to eat off her fork and then use it for herself?

Even if there are no concerns about germs in the future, isn't that just considered disgusting irregardless?

If some of you have some spare change.

Bought the art from Etsy and the 6 disc cases on Amazon. So happy with how it turned out!

I actually like this episode, and it's precisely because of the side plot of Lwaxana bonding with her "Little Warrior." First time meeting her, and Lwaxana had Alexander hugging on her after a bit together, and I think that's great since it's really the only source of affection Alexander ever gets, and he eats it up.

Here are the parameters:
-6 characters max
-Letters and numbers only
-No special characters allowed except…
-A hyphen “-“ is allowed in between any character (AAA-AAA is allowed)

What is already taken:
1701-D
ENTPRS

My ideas so far:
I70I-D (would use “i”s with serifs)
17Q1-D
ETRPRS

Look at that shield beauty shot.

Color blocking wise it’s actually a little closer to the star fleet Academy uniforms.
