Star Trek XI In Two To Three Years.
Tycoon Guy writes "It seems rumors of the franchise's demise were greatly exaggerated. TrekToday reports that according to Trek head honcho Rick Berman, a new film might come sooner than you think: 'If it gets done in two years or three years I think that timeframe for a new, fresh feature with a whole different outlook would be fine.' He's previously said that the film will feature a whole new cast and ship; it's being written by Band of Brothers screenwriter Erik Jendresen."
Worf and Troi got together in season seven.
:(
Some years earlier Michael Dorn and Marina Sirtis postulated some friction between the two characters that they played out for a while (between the lines) as a result of Worf advocating the forced abortion of Troi's unborn child in the beginning of season two, in the episode appropriately called "The Child". (Which was, as it so happens, a story recycled from thea aborted - no pun intended - Star Trek Phase II series from the 70s.)
There was a scene later in the series where they decided the two reconciled, but I can't remember which one that was.

It wouldn't surprise me one damn bit if the Klingon Empire continued to field B'rels into the 25th Century, whereas any other major power with a simple majority of firing neurons in their heads would've retired that class at least half a century before.
Of course, the fact that they've been allies with the Federation for so long hasn't helped their image either. They've grown more and more tolerant with letting the Federation dictate their policy, when Klingon common sense would've advocated no less than mass invasion of anyone that dared to mess with them.

In the way it was realized, it would not only destroy all existing life, but also make the planet completely unusable in the future (because it didn't work). It would be a very non-Federation thing to use. Also, we can't be sure what really happened. Obviously, it wasn't generally known that David Marcus had to use "protomatter" to "solve certain problems" (and create others), as Saavik, on the mission to investigate the results of Genesis didn't know about it. David, who was killed, nor his mother, who was leading in the project, were keen on the weapon potential.
The warp drive finding was put down into the story. For over a season of TNG we heard about "warp 5" and "in this emergency, you're allowed to exceed protective warp speed limits". In Voyager, they put in a line in the first season about the engines constantly remodulating themselves, to avoid the effects. It could even make a little sense, if you drive evenly on the road instead of following the existing tracks exactly, it will last much longer.
One important thing to note is that Star Trek seems to indicate that the human obsession of going around to new places all the time is quite specific. Many of the omnipotent species you mention stayed quite alone in their place. (Q excluded.) That makes it a bit easier to accept.
OTOH, don't expect consistency. That's not a requirement. They only need to do enough to make it "feel" like it is consistent and not completely contradict all previous episodes all the time. Hey, that could give a clue to why so many hated Enterprise....
That's post-hoc reasoning buddy. She was the only one left to command BECAUSE the universe collapsed!

The picard manuver came from when he was captain of the Stargazer. It happened such that the stargazer was about 30 light-seconds away from a Ferengi ship. So whatever image the ferengi had was 30 seconds old. Picard used this time discrepency to make a warp 9 jump right next to the ferengi ship. Thus, the ferengi saw the 30 second old image of the stargazer from it's initial position and from the Stargazer's actual position right next to the Ferengi ship. The Ferengi thus saw two ships on their sensors and were unprepared for the possibility of having to face two starships. In this moment of confusion, the stargazer was able to open fire into the unprepared Ferengi vessel.
