Okay, I don't know how the topic got duplicated, except to say that my computer hiccuping while online is hardly a new experience.

Q Who would've worked only if they got the new BoBW Borg in there. The old-fashioned Q Who Borg were a little boring. I would've liked a scene between just Guinan and Q, with a few more hints as to the true nature of Guinan's powers and how they met in the past. For that matter, I wonder if Guinan and the Traveler have met. In the Q Continuum books it's mentioned that he's met Q (the race, not necessarily John Delancie) before.

For the sheer fun factor, A Piece of the Action. No real need for dramatic or storytelling reasons, but getting more of the crew onto Sigma Iota would be fun.

Okay, I don't know if that's really witty or really lame. Not that there can't be an overlap, but still...

Wasn't Worf on the outpost that got attacked at Narendra III? And doesn't it get destroyed in the 'Yesterday's Enterprise' timeline? If that's so, wouldn't he be dead? If I'm missing something, please tell me what it is.

Well, "destroyed" might be an exaggeration. Totally decimated, maybe. There could be rubble left behind for kids to hide under. Besides, what's a little retcon between friends?

No, Worf was at Khitomer. The place from the Movie. Thats the other one that got attacked....
You know I'm thinking...Klingon Outposts? Not safe places to be...

This reminds me of an old comment by somebody along the lines of "Klingon civilians? Huh?" I know, I know, not every citizen of the Empire can serve on kickbutt-class Birds of Prey, but still...

However, I suppose that every Empire/Federation/Alliance/Collective/Continuum has to have border outposts, just to make sure that no one abuses the imaginary boundarys (too much... )

Thread, arise!

Jim Wright of Delta Blues said in his review of Tuvix that he wouldn't have minded if that episode had been a two-parter. Ditto for The '37s.

Mention should also be made of the confusion some have over why Birthright wasn't two separate episodes. The two plots were almost completely disjointed, so why did they have to overlap over two episodes?
