Sometimes I love Wikipedia.
They never mention the nanites or the exocomps again either.
<3 Peanut Hamper.
Don’t forget Janeway and Paris’s offspring!
They didn’t talk about it because crazy shit happened to that fucking ship every day. I could just imagine some ensign going home to his wife like ‘The ship gave birth today’ and she just rolls her eyes and goes back to her book.
“Oh god, what did Riker stick his dick in this time?”
“Actually it was La Forge!”
The funny part about that is, even though he was the one who got the shit over it, the fucking ship came on to him. He just wanted to talk about the goddamn warp drive.
It is wild how much shit Geordie gets for the Leah Brahms hologram.
It is also wild that no one ever interrogates the fact that the computer essentially made a hologram so it could hit on Geordi, either.
I forgot that part! It made the god damn hologram in the first place!
We can set aside how Geordi conducted himself after the hologram had been made as well, if you’d like. That doesn’t even begin to address how he acted when the real Dr. Brahms came on board the ship. Dude’s a certfied incel creep.
The way he acts towards the read Doctor Brahms certainly does not cast the character in the most flattering light, but what did he do in “Booby Trap” that was so bad?
“Riker stuck his dick in La Forge? Huh, you know what, I am happy for those two, they had it a long time coming.”
My favorite example of this is from The Chase, where they discover the origin of all humanoid species in the galaxy, probably the most important discovery made in the history of Starfleet, and it’s never mentioned again.
Lol the entire enterprise crew needs some deep therapy after all the traumatic shit they deal with on the daily. The most unrealistic part of that show was how none of them became became grizzled after 10 years of life altering experiences and losses though they often showed others who did. I want to assume they had access to more than troi and just didn’t show it because an entire crew probably couldn’t be supported by one therapist similarly to how whichever physical health doctor on board had lots of help and even other doctors.
I think they just left Ensign Whatsherface just sticking halfway out of the bulkhead.
…Man, there would be a great web serial just following Not-Troi’s therapy sessions, in which she is yet again trying to convince an alien not to vaporize themselves/the ship/the crew/the Riker after Yet Another Traumatic Tuesday.
To note in passing new life and new civilizations…
I just realized the dude looks like Stamets.
But season 7 was the last season of TNG. DS9 was busy with other things and Voyager was elsewhere.
The Ferengi from “The Price” showed up in VOY, as did the Borg Queen, and Tom Riker was pivotal to an episode of DS9.
It’s a huge universe, why would this particular entity have to show up in another episode? It could be off exploring the Gamma quadrant.
Why would Starfleet be so fundamentally uninterested in learning about an enitity literally birthed by one of their Starships?
Because they can’t find it? It’s tiny, it flew off into the distance…for all we know, there are a dozen science ships looking for it during the entire DS9 run.
