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.

    Wasn't there an episode of Star Trek where Picards ship gets caught in a time rift, and they see an older version of their own ship. Tasha goes off to fight and die with that crew.
    it was the other way around, the Enterprise-C came through a time rift while defending the Klingon colony of Nerendra III from the Romulans. The Enterprise-C going through the rift altered the "real" present, and without the heroics of the Enterprise-C to bond the Federation with the Klingons, the Klingons fought a bloody war with Starfleet. The Tasha Yar of the alternate timeline stayed with the Enterprise-C when it was found out, and this alternate Tasha became the mother of the "real" Sela, the Romulan bitch. the episode was Yesterday's Enterprise, and i think it was one of the best TNG episodes aired.

    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.
