Questions you desperately want answered in eps 11-14...

Everything that feels is sentient. Something/someone that is aware of itself/themselves (capable of intelligence) is sapient. Ergo, a cat is sentient. That's not interchangeable, but ST shows continue to use both terms as if they meant the same thing. It's okay for the audience not to know, but a supposed super-brain and (rather pedantic) scientist such as Spock should.

EDIT: honestly, I'm not too sure how self-aware Borg drones are. That's a good question.

i can't recall when if ever anyone on Star Trek used the term sapient to refer to intelligent life. The series appears to use the term sentient exclusively for this purpose or at least overwhelmingly.

It was used twice in the same episode that asked "What is brain?"
 
Where are the toilets?
Do the crew use seashells?
Are the CMO, Chief Engineer and Master Chief Petty Officer on strike?
Is 'rebel' Spock having an affair with Leila?
Did T'Pau learn English by reading the KJV?
When did Pike decide Vina was the love of his life?
Why aren't the female crew wearing dangly ear rings like Uhura?

Where is Jet Reno ?
Was there a nudge nudge element to Jet stating that she thought she was on stage with Prince and his band ?
Am I missing something here ?

She's hanging with the Orion who got Tilly high on Quo'nos (or however one spells it) last season. Probably busy trying to recreate Prince's staggeringly awesome guitar solo at a benefit concert performance of While My Guitar Gently Weeps in memory of George Harrison some years ago (look it up on YouTube--well worth it).
 
What does a one-handed clap sound like?

What’s happening with Baby L’Voq?

Where is Jet?

Where is Ripper?

Why is New Eden?
 
How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes, 'n' how many times must the cannon balls fly
Before they're forever banned?
