Agentic Entity
"...it seems to function like a gigantic electromagnetic collector. It needs a lot of power to keep going so it strips every form of life from the worlds it encounters and converts it all into energy."
TNG family members and alternates
This was fun to think about. It's a list of each crew member's family member and alternate versions of themselves who make an appearance. I'm sure I forgot some.

Worf: adoptive mother, adoptive father, brother, stepbrother, mate, son, future son, fictitious future self, self from alternate timeline
Yar: sister, daughter of self from alternate timeline, self from alternate timeline
Troi: mother, father (dream apparition), absence of sister, fictitious future self, artificially-aged self, self from alternate timeline
Data: brother, grandpa, father, android replica of mother, time-shifted self (3 copies), fictitious future self, head of self from alternate timeline, self from alternate timeline
La Forge: father, mother (imposter), fictitious future self (with vision), self from alternate timeline (with vision)
Riker: father, alternate self, fictitious future self, fictitious hologram fantasy wife (deceased), fictitious future son (imposter), self from alternate timeline (dies)
Picard: mother (imaginary), brother, sister in law, nephew, memory of past self, de-aged self, vision of flute-playing self from a different life (including wife, son, and daughter), time-shifted self, less-ambitious self from a vision of an alternate timeline, fictitious future self, self from alternate timeline
Disguises: Mintakin Riker, Mintakin Troi, Vulcan Picard, Vulcan Data, Romulan Troi, Malcorian Riker
The Ferengi Solution
When my bf says he has the solution to the current conflict.
TNG endorses AI
Remember when La Forge goes to an AI conference and gains assassin skills? Or when Worf's spine is repaired through gen-AI-tronics. And don't forget about the GenAI people who eradicated the gender problem from society.
Sorry, couldn't help it. I do appreciate the actual shout-out to AI in the La Forge example, as well as the prophetic brainwashing that ensues.
