Why didn't the Federation set up a medical facility on the far side of the Ba'ku planet, avoid the entire plot of Insurrection which was over one village vs health and eternal youth for billions?
What are your unanswered Star Trek questions?

and were there 4 or 5 of themI want to see Jean-Luc's "personal relaxation light".
Wait.
Is it just me or does this sound... dirty?
Really tho, I mean it. I've always wanted to know what that personal relaxation light he mentions is, exactly.In my headcanon it's a lava lamp
That's an interesting take ..... Maybe a dying Q manifests itself in such ways in the real world outside the continuum.

Stars were going nova in "THE Q AND THE GREY" because of their civil war.
That's not a bad interpretation. I looked at it as Q himself, but it could be all.

What were those Solanogen lifeforms up to in Schisms? What was their purpose in abducting Enterprise-D crewmen, studying them, and then experimenting on them? What happened to that probe they launched at the end of the episode?
Similarly, what were the motivations of the strange aliens in "Silent Enemy"? Their actions were so creepy and mysterious, I'm sorry we never saw them again. They would have made great recurring villains.

Both of those episodes are fantastic for the things they don't answer.
the real shame is games like Star Trek Online used the Schisms aliens and well made up their own bullshit to fit in the game.
A downed Klingon ship in season one or two is when they first hear of them, IIRC. Then a year later Starfleet are making their own

who assimilated the very first Borg?...... another Borg?
no that cant be right... or, well... if the first Borg "assimilated" him/her self..a mad scientist?????

I always assumed the Borg were originally an attempt at creating a benevolent neural network by some species. Then something happened that turned it all into a malevolent one that forcibly assimilated more members/species.
And then later in Picard we learn the Borg are lonely so that's why they do it...... Ugh
Correction, an offshoot of the Borg, influenced by some timey wimey nonsense.
Yes it was nonsense.
But OK for me how was it that the Queen Picard met in Best Of Both Worlds off screen was the same Queen that we see in First Contact? Does she exist mutidimensionally? She even refers to it in FC.
Also on that if the Borg are all under her control she's the only Borg with actual free will, the others are just avatars for her will.
Just another reason why the Borg Queen was a bad addition to the lore, it turned the Borg from a Gestalt consciousness into some ant queen lady with an astronomical amount of puppets at her disposal.
Of course in VOY the Borg Queen claims she was assimilated as a little girl?
Honestly, it makes sense from a character perspective that there was a first Borg drone and things evolved from there e.g. there are emotional reasons why they do what they do, despite what their statements to the contrary are. We've seen plenty of examples of ex-Borg. So, it also makes sense threading the needle of individuality vs. collectiveness is hard.
We're still a couple of months away from openly posting Picard spoilers, and that was a big one. There's a reason the person you quoted used a spoiler tag, right?
The reason in PIC S2 was set up in First Contact where she wanted an equal to rule with.
I do get loneliness as a motivator though.
Remember Disco S2, where we were all convinced Control + time travel was gonna be a Borg origin story?
The sudden WWE style turn after spending just 3 days sharing headspace though...

I hope they never give a definitive answer to the origin of the Borg, by now any explanation would run the danger of being contrived.
Or if they have to give them one, let it be something really simple, like what I suggested above, not something that involves humanity and/or time travel.

Exactly. A variable yield antimatter weapon with a warp-speed launch system, and Starfleet just makes it overnight after hearing about it. And then, they never manage another significant technological advance in shipboard weapons for 200 years.
