If that was a cameo then Scotty in TNG was just a cameo.
Spoilers Star Trek: Picard 1x05 - "Stardust City Rag"
- Thread starter NCC-73515
- Start date
Heck, I was a little scared for a few seconds that Deanna Troi was now some kind of crime lord
If this were true I would have given it a 10.
If IMDB is anything to go by she’s in a total of 6 out of 10 episodes.
They may be collecting dead drones found floating in space as well.
Parts is Parts.
Well there have been two on-screen mentions of Borg ships crashing in or near Federation space. The first is obviously the scout ship that Hugh was on. The second was mentioned in the Voyager episode 'Timeless'. A Borg ship that crashed in the Beta Quadrant was the source of the temporal macguffin Harry needed to send his incorrect calculations that would save the crew back in time to Seven of Nine. It's possible there are other borg wreckages lying around. Also the Borg had transwarp hubs in the Alpha and Beta Quadrants perhaps the destruction of those facilities in addition to the collapse of the Unimatrix facility lead to lots of salvage or Borg on ships and facilities near federation space losing their links to the collective and wandering around aimlessly.
That was one LONG and substantial cameo, Laddie. 
This thread is making me hungry.
Gotta remind myself that chicken breast filet is what, 30 years old now?
Subjective.
Objective: TSFS made $87 million on a $16 million (edit.. I messed that up earlier) budget, created a huge amount of world building that would pave the way for future television shows and movies. The models would be used in TNG.
Subjective: It was an awesome movie and it brought Spock back. It has flaws, none of them fatal.

Only sixteen dollars?! That means the movie made 5437500 times more than it cost to produce!
Except for the fact that she and Jean-Luc have a real emotional (and physical) connection due to both being Assimilated and coming back during the same time period.
But of course that's just a gratuitous use of major aspects of both the characters lives and means nothing in the grand scheme of things.
Especially since those story lines were just one-off tales, destined never to be explored again during their individual shows.
Never mind twenty plus years later.
That is the biggest "so what?" ever. The fact that they "Share a connection" doesn't mean that the methods by which Seven was brought into the story at this particular time weren't beyond contrived.
There are countless, far better ways you could have organically had Seven as a part of the overall arc of the season or at least gotten her into these particular two episodes in a way that made sense and was earned and logical.
And then you could have had the same heart to heart scene and have it actually mean something. Instead, while the scene itself is nice, it's devoid of meaningful context, it has no business showing up when it does and bears absolutely zero greater relevance in terms of themes, character arcs or narrative purpose with everything else that is happening in the series.

The episode is not focused on her, it just wants you to think it is.
She's actually not the focus of the story. She's just a very crappy plot device that was thrust into the season simply for the sake of fan service. And it shows. The show bends over backwards in utterly stupid and inorganic ways to get here there and her value to Picard and the crew is the crappiest kind of forced coincidence.
They made significant use of duct tape and volunteer labor.. ok let me go fix that.Only sixteen dollars?! That means the movie made 5437500 times more than it cost to produce!
Thanks for sharing your, uh, "thought."
Funny how it has worked just fine for the majority of folks around here who have watched it, and it made perfect sense and was logical for them.
Seven shows up when she does because that is how the Writers of the show decided it should happen in the context of the TEN Episodes they had to create.
Whether you approve of it or not is entirely irrelevant.
One could probably find several ways to rewrite just about every Trek Episode there has ever been, but that's not really what viewing a TV show and then discussing the given facts is all about.
Most of us take what is presented in a show and either go with it or find something else to watch.
Endless irrelevant speculation about "How I Would Do It & Do It Better" makes for a very Egotistical and one-sided conversation in which most folks will soon begin to disregard the querulous poster.
Especially one who seems to just continually dismiss everyone else's thoughts as being insignificant to their own supposedly brilliant interpretations.

Sure she is. The opening flashback is Seven focused. The villain and her have a personal relationship. She and Picard have a special bond. The Borg figure in the plot.
This thread has gone a strange place-"What you see you did not actually see."
That's in every aspect of life these days. The truth is lies and lies are truth.This thread has gone a strange place-"What you see you did not actually see."
