The Voyager crew were her foundational friends, there from her birth, so to speak, and the witnesses of her transformation and reclamation. I'm sure she could make new friends (like Bjayzl? not sure about her taste) but I doubt if they'd ever be more important, even if they are currently more available.

Savage. I take my dates to Le Chateau de Beefaroni.
And for the second date? Oh, wait. Who am I kidding?

Even "deborgified" Seven's remaining implants allowed her to walk through force fields, I'd imagine alone that'd be worth a goldmine.
Cool episode. Had a Blade Runner and Fifth Element vibe and also reminded me of Coruscant from Attack of the Clones. Pity about the cheap CGI city though.
Wasn't that what reminded you of Corscant in the first place?
Yeah, I mean, I know Trek has been kinda inconsistent with replicators, but I was always under the assumption basically anything could be replicated once its pattern has been scanned.
Hell, just transport a box of Borg junk and keep on making transporter clones. Problem solved.

That we know of ...
Who is to say that his eye did not get fixed?
Picard was talking about his own personal perceptions. Is there any reason to think that someone marked by a great trauma might see differences, feel things, that an outsider might not have imagined? No one, I would also argue, thinks that he is right.
IMHO that would have been inevitable regardless of whatever Seven would have become. Two decades is a lot of time.
We don't mention that. It's top secret, like Genesis Devices and Spore Drives.
Hmm. I am not sure about that. Ignoring that he might be legitimately disoriented after four centuries of death, Offenhouse found himself revived in a far future setting that had connections with his own. The English-speaking civilization centered on the United States that he lived in on late 20th century Earth had progressed to the point of becoming a starfaring civilization. If there was that much continuity, why might the financial institutions of Earth not have also survived? Post-capitalist economic systems would have been highly speculative in Offenhouse's time, after all.
Far more people today recognise Picard, or 'facepalm guy', than Kirk

The western Balkans have become, after the 2007 expansion of the EU to Romania and Bulgaria, effectively a multinational enclave surrounded by the EU. Despite some progress, and even though Croatia did join the EU in 2013, the core of the western Balkans has remained outside the EU, economically depressed and politically questionable.
Would it make sense to bring the western Balkans into the EU? I would say "yes," assuming that they could be brought in without harming the cohesion of the post-Brexit EU. That, though, depends critically on what Europeans themselves think of the idea, and Europeans for their own reasons (some of which I think are good, some of which I think are not) are deeply skeptical of the idea. They do not want to take the possible risks and the known costs onto themselves.
How much more implausible would be the idea of the expansion of the Federation, whether into the Neutral Zone or even beyond into former Romulan space?
Not to mention alive.
Yes, but it would be far more profitable to get the whatchamacallum that creates the nanoprobes than the nanoprobes themselves.
Actually, Trek has been perfectly consistent with replicators. A replicatior can manufacture anything which advances the current plot, and will always fail to manufacture anything which would disrupt said plot.
With replicators all around most people likely don't bother buying four, eggs...etc... Consequently, the genuine ingredients must be hard to come by and cost a fortune.
