I have never been a fan of Pulaski but I am curious about what happened with her. I would love to see what is happening with the SCE gang.
They do appear in A Singular Destiny and Gomez and one other character who I can't remember right now, make brief appearances in Indistinguishable From Magic (although this is apparently no longer part of the novelverse continuity).
I'm into season 7 of my TNG rewatch and i've come across the Iyaarans. Have they ever been discussed/featured in any of the lit? They're the assholes from Liasons (s7e2) with strange ideas when it comes to diplomatic contact..
One shows up in Shards and Shadows, in the Guinan/Stargazer story. Other than that, I can't recall anything. Although the RPG materials fleshed them out a bit, even if the novels haven't.
Am I the only one that actually wants to find out how parises squares is played and what makes the game so dangerous?
Actually, it's funny you should ask that... There is a truly legendarily awful series of fanfic which are, almost fetishistically, centred around this character and including almost every child character ever featured on Star Trek TNG. Information on this is available at tvtropes, including links to where one might access the stories themselves if one is posessing strong curiosity of the sufficiently morbid variety. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/FanFic/MarissaPicard
I think I read one once years ago, when I first got online long enough to discover fanfic. Or maybe I just skimmed it. Couldn't even tell you what story it was now...
Regarding Mr. Giotto from a few pages back, I remember a scene from The Disinherited (TOS #59) where Kirk and Commodore Wesley of the USS Lexington are having a viewscreen conversation - Wesley notices Giotto on the bridge and makes a comment to the effect of "Who is that good-looking guy there? I need to get him transferred over here!"
