Dropped storylines

I'm pretty sure the Think Tank was lying about the Vidiians. They lied about literally everything else in that same conversation, including their feigned surprise at "a Borg outside of the collective." They had already looked through Voyager's database and created a complicated plot to get Seven to join them.
I have one- Worf and Troi's romance. I don't think it's ever mentioned in the films or DS9. Totally dropped.

I like that we simply don't know - space is a vast and dangerous place...
Of course they are.
Speaking of that, since Starfleet would have gotten their logs and all, when Tom made the Warp 10 flight... why didn't we see Starfleet try to develop it further to make it viable?
At the very least, they could have used it to help in the Dominion War.

He violated the square-cube law, got arrested, and went to prison.
For the better. It was a slap in the face to Riker, to Jonathan Frakes, and to Marina Sirtis. I thought the writers resorted to soapy cliches to bolster the flagging 7th season of TNG.
Howso? Riker and Troi weren't even a couple for the majority of TNG, and why shouldn't they be allowed to pursue other relationships? I frankly found it more tedious that in the end TNG stuck with the safe and predictable coupling.
A little more on Picard's recovery from the Borg. There were two or three episodes and that was it, then First Contact took a big fat dump on it and that was that.
Wesley as the super genius child who is special, but don't tell him.
LOL, just kidding. Thanks God that was dropped fast!
Anything about Data's previous approx. thirty years before he came aboard the Enterprise D. Time in Starfleet, service on at least one other ship, yet he's still naïve in general and even still can't whistle. All we get some brief farts in the wind about it and in "The Most Toys" Geordi opens a box of award medals for various acts of valor (where are more of these during the time on the Enterprise D?). Serious, was Geordi his only friend? Can we learn how he got any of those medals?
More on or just featured, of the Pakleds.
More on the Romulans in general. Learn about them, develop continued characters, maybe get some Yar and Sela closure ... you know, unless some newb director comes by and decides of dealing with them in special way that mimics real life or at least gives a proper "end", that he simply creates another 'verse which just blows their planet up in the most dumb bastard way tof dealing with them, like taking a giant cosmic dump anywhere.

When Riker or Troi courted an alien-of-the-week it didn't affect their emotional bond. Their relationship gave TNG a lot of emotional resonance in retrospect. Watch The Price, A Matter of Perspective, Menage A Troi, The Loss, Violations, Conundrum, and Man of The People. When Worf and Troi got together it endangered the Riker-Troi relationship. The writers started to play on Riker's jealousy in All Good Things. I thought that was a blunder. I also thought bringing them together was a soap opera cliche. Besides the novelty of seeing them together what really did it add to the show? Every long running show couples some of the main cast because they have run out of creativity. Even Zack Morris and Lisa Turtle got together during the last season of Saved By The Bell. I thought that worked better than Worf and Troi. Worf had to lose some of his alien mystique before they would have even considered matching him with Troi.
