Borg in refrigerators?
This. Except for me, I really wish this was the live-action, and DIS was the animation. I get the appeal of DIS, but it's just not my thing. The melodrama and sentimentality over every. little. thing...just, uhh.
Women in refrigerators? What does that mean?
Refers to the killing of female characters for drama. Term originated in comics where Kyle (Green Lantern) Rayner's girlfriend was killed by villain named Major Force and stuffed in a fridge.
@Nerys Myk summarized it well.
More "specifically" it's the killing of a female character to motivate a male character into the main story.
Oh OK .... Is that the same as fridging someone when writing?
If it involves the killing of a female character to motivate a male one, then yes. Comics are written by the way.
Yeah I know that just I've heard the term used before a lot, just not the meaning.
Pretty sure they "borrowed" it comics.
Blake's 7.
Yep. They were not shy about killing characters off.
How about:
"Because the guy who created the show is a TNG fan..."? <--- That's probably the MAIN reason.

Picard saying he didn't want to endanger Worf by asking him to join his mission throws out everything the audience, and Picard himself, knows about Klingon culture. Klingons seek an honorable death in battle, there is no higher goal for them and no clearer guarantee for Stovokor. Worf would gladly drop whatever he's doing to go on an honorable quest to stop evil Tal Shiar/Zhat Vash Romulans, and if he dies all the more Klingon honor for him. He could have easily filled out the Elnor role. If anything, Worf would feel insulted he wasn't asked to join.
But that was the point, Picard knew that any of the old TNG gang would gladly drop what they were doing to help him, and he didn't want to deny them the lives they currently have which he feels they have earned. And indeed, Riker ended up doing just that in the finale.
Not sure what any of this has to do with Lower Decks, though.

1) Captain Worf has his duties aboard the Enterprise-E.
2) The producers are not interested in making TNG S8. (Too much time has passed. Too much time in-universe has passed.)

sorry i mixed up the forum, I thought this was Picard.
Story wise the biggest advantage of having it be in the 24th century is having more access to all the most well known Trek races.
I'm still not over that finale. Legend.
