If you do ever decide to watch any DS9 this is where it connects to all-round best space-dad Benjamin Sisko.
I think Sir Patrick Stewart acted that scene so perfectly.
I hope so, Paula didn't spoil another Star Trek series during the intro.
Honestly, I kind of want them to watch the first episode of DS9 at the end of S4. Just that first episode, just so Katrina can start to get a real feel for the impact of the battle.
"Jake, I don't think it's good for you, hanging around with that ferengi boy!"
"Nog, dad! His name is Nog!"
@@itdano If they decide to start watching DS9 they should do so after TNG's "Chain of Command". Becuase they need to have watched that episode and probably "Ensign Ro" in order to have an understanding of the whole Cardassian/Bajoran situation.
Can you imagine if Jonathan Frakes had done "Space, the final frontier..." in the intro?
That would've been so EPIC!
I watched this episode when it first aired. I would have lost my shit if that had happened.
Trek fans would've let out a collective howl that shook the world.
The events in this episode are some of the most defining in the whole franchise, both in and out of universe. The battle of Wolf 359 is such a key moment for so many characters and the Federation as a whole that seeing it again really makes it hit harder.
I've heard other reviewers call it the Federation's 9/11 for how it both suddenly shifted the culture and rippled into further events.
@@bustedsim I would agree with that. I don't want to spoil anything but after this point there is a shift in Starfleet to be more militarized. This really marks the end of the long peace that the Federation enjoyed after Kirk made peace with the Klingons to a period of much more conflict.
I only just realised, but the Constitution-class Enterprise had a couple of hundred people on board. I don't know half the ship classes at Wolf 359, but let's go with about 300 crew average per ship in a fleet of about 40 ships. That's 12,000 casualties. Has anyone ever done the actual calculations?
@@edh9999 Canonically the result of the battle are 39 Federations ships destroyed with casualties at about 11,000. It's considered the worse defeat in Federation history up to that point.
@edh9999
There's a vid here on CZcams by TriAngulum Audio Studios that showcases all the Federation ships that fought at Wolf359.
"So many people just died." Wolf 359 claimed 39 ships and 11,000 lives. But the experience leads to a complete change in focus for Starfleet strategy & ship design, something that will ultimately save the federation multiple times in the coming decade.
I think it's the start of a tumultuous period in the Federation. After this, they have the Marquis, a coup attempt, another Borg attack and the Dominion War all in the space of about 10 years.
USS Defiant Class
@@fredfredburger5150 🤤
The ships you see at Wolf 359 were made from various Star Trek model kits. The props team glued pieces from different ships together to create all new ship designs.
I’m excited to see next week’s episode. This experience changed Picard forever and “Family” shows just how deeply he was wounded.
When TNG employs Actual Continuity, you know the character impact must have been BIG. (Not a knock on the show, just the way things were done - interesting to hear what a struggle it was to get "Family" made the way they wanted.)
Maybe this deserves a PSA for future viewers like me that the reaction to "Family" was blocked by YT and they haven't found a way to get it posted again, so we'll have to enjoy that one on our own.)
@@jerodast oh :(
Can’t wait for the next episode: The most daring (and most appropriate) follow-up to the best 2-part season finale/opener ever!
I do like that final shot of the Enterprise in orbit over Earth, almost like its protecting it.
Me watching Star Trek for three decades : cried never.
Paula and Kat : cry every episode
Lol. Gives us a whole new perspective.
What's so great about the conclusion, is that while there is a reset to the status quo, nothing that happened is forgotten, it's not all ok at the end. Thousands of star fleet personnel are dead, dozens of ships, many legacies of star fleet wiped out. This episode will reverberate for the rest of the series. Beyond that, Picard will have to deal with this trauma, and it sets up the future.
It's just the best version of how to do a 'reset' but make it worthy of a continuing story.
Locutus addressing Riker "Number One" always gets to me.
Lol, both Katrina and Paula jinxing, “Detach that saucer,” may be the best moment in this entire CZcams series!
I mean it wasn’t an actual jinx, but you get what I mean!
A thing to note on the graveyard at Wolf 359: a Constitution refit has also been destroyed [recognizable ships, where we once knew the crews] designed to pull at heart strings.
As much as I love these two episodes, 4×2 is my favorite episode. All the crying 😥😢😭
It's so fascinating to see Katrina react to the show, especially this episode. Even though she only waited a third of what the original audience did, I feel she is exactly where we were at the time.
Regarding the rank pips on the collar. Not everyone on the show had them. In some instances Picard has referred to some as 'crewman'. The pips indicates commissioned officer and the number and style solid and circle indicates the rank.
It's interesting to see Katrina recount Riker's arc from the first season. It's very similar to Jonathan Frakes journey. Basically this was his first big gig and he was willing to do anything to make sure the show succeeds and that he stays on it. That resulted him eating actual live meal worms, and also being submerged in a pool of Metamucil mixed with oil and black printer's ink. Even LeVar Burton remarked "Frakes, I never would have done that!"
O'Brien's pips were all over the place, totally random. The costume department never really figured out what to do with his uniforms.
@@fakecubed I think the theory is he was field commissioned to Lieutenant in the Cardassian war and then...just kind of kept them for awhile? Pretty weak haha.
At least in the very next episode we explicitly find out his real rank! He's a respectable working man, our O'Brien.
Oh, poor Katrina.... if she's crying now...... just imagine how she's going to be next episode.....
Oh, boy yeah, that one's a land mark. One of Patrick Stewart's best acted episodes, in my opinion.
you mean Best of Both Worlds Part 3?
Soooo looking forward to the next episode. There are three episodes I especially can’t wait to see the reactions to. The next one, the series finale, and I bet people can guess the third one.
Sure, the next episode can break out the tears, but in a cathartic way I find.
For sure. TNG really did a good job of showing the consequences and not just "moving on".
What was really brilliant was when Picard was with the Borg on the table and the close up of the single tear coming from his eye. Such a great way of showing that he was still in there
7-year-old me saw that in a commercial for the upcoming new season, and started crying my head off.
Living in the UK, I was fortunate to first see this on VHS and both part one and two were available at the same time, so the longest I had to wait for the resolution to the cliffhanger was the length of time it took to eject one tape and insert the next.
Those were the longest 30 seconds of my life! ;)
Three months separated the airings of Part One and Part Two in the states, not six. My son was born two weeks before the airing of part two.
Wolf 359. Burned in every Trekkies' minds. For years I didn't know that's an actual place.
Picard: "sleep."
Lord Oberon: "SLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!"
If you get that reference you're old like me and *know the good stuff!*
To Live again
What sorcery is this?!
I'm old enough to have experienced the season cliffhanger break, but also old enough to remember my reaction. My sister and I purposely re-structured an entire two weeks for the season premiere.
My mother guaranteed we'd watch the premiere
By the time the Cube reached Wolf 359 in early 2367, the Borg had assimilated all of Picard's knowledge, giving them a great advantage against the Starfleet armada. All but one of the 40 Starfleet ships were ultimately destroyed, with a death toll of over 11,000
40 ships were at Wolf 359 but 39 were lost 1 came back.
I was in college in Ireland when this was first on, and we used to get VHS tapes MAILED to us from friends stateside who'd record it for us and when they got here we'd show it in one of the lecture theatres. THAT made for a massive wait for Part 2. (Though selling tickets did buy a D&D source book or three...)
You had NTSC-compatible equipment? Nice!!
@@firefly24601 I suspect most European college media departments in the 90s did.
I'm pretty sure the inclusion of meeting the Borg at Wolf 359, was a nod to the 1960's sci-fi series The Outer Limits and it's episode "Wolf 359".
Possibly, but it is just as likely that Wolf 359 was used because it is a real red dwarf star 7.9 light years from Earth, so it is a logical place to try to intercept and stop the Borg on their way to Earth.
To me, Riker's decision to let the Borg ship self-destruct was a no-brainer. There is no way they could have kept the cube inert long enough to study it thoroughly. The Borg would have eventually found a way to adapt to Data's hack. On top of that, the cube was already in the Sol system, so there was an imminent, extreme risk to Earth if something went wrong.
Yeah, while I appreciate weighing the pros and cons, the decision matrix weighting of "risk of Borg coming back online and assimilating Earth because it's right fucking there" is like 1000000x the other factors haha.
There's a lot of serious shots in these episodes, but the Enterprise arrival to Wolf 359's wasted battlefield really sticks out. Then there's the scene where Riker orders Wesley to set a collision course - man, that had to tear him up inside. I can't imagine having to order someone so young to their death. (along with everyone else aboard; all the other officers, civilians, and families) That ending shot with the Earth reflected on the ready room window shows just how close to home it hit, for Picard as well as the federation. I like the next installment the best out of the three episodes, but without The Best of Both Worlds, it just wouldn't exist. Kudos to one of the best "trilogies" in episodic television.
It shows that, yes, Earth did it. It survived and prospered. But the issue is that Humanity and the Federation as a whole has forgotten to have a functional MIlitary. Especially since skirmishes with Klingons and Romulans have been little more than fringe-system interactions.
The borg is extremely different by comparison.
I agree with the theory that the families/civilians MUST have been evacuated offscreen at some point. Thinking otherwise just stretches the already absurd idea of an exploratory/border combat ship constantly putting civilians at risk, to an even more ludicrous degree.* And as Guinan says - as long as some of your people survive, you survive, even it takes a millennium. Adama realized at the end of the BSG pilot miniseries that keeping humanity alive was more important than going out in a blaze of glory. And Starfleet is way more enlightened than he is! The Enterprise is long-term habitation vessel which normally has a large self-contained chunk of society on board. It would be a cruel irony if one of humanity's best hopes to endure after the Genocide of Sector 001 was snatched away because Riker wanted RAMMING SPEED.
Okay, then again, if he thought warping into the cube would really save Earth from assimilation, sure I'd order the death of thousands to do it too. But it still think he would've already offboarded the civvies haha. Besides, if he really thought that'd work, we'd have the same problem as the asinine "Last Jedi" introduced: If you just need a warp drive for a self-sacrificing tiny ship to blow up a much bigger one that completely outclasses it, then none of the starship combat we've ever seen in this universe really makes sense anymore.
(*Obviously the DS9 pilot establishes that CERTAINLY some ships did NOT get to evacuate families. This pretty absurd too, but we could rationalize that the Enterprise's mission was PLANNED to go after the incredibly dangerous invader for several days, whereas the hastily assembled fleet was a last ditch plan when that mission failed. The fleet also expected the battle to be more like the wars of the past - with an opportunity for ships to withdraw after taking dangerous levels of damage, using the support of the other ships to cover their retreat. They didn't expect to get cut to ribbons in seconds, and didn't know how high the risk of death was for every single being aboard the fleet.)
Uh...ANYWAY, I asked about this in another comment, but since you mentioned it, let me say again - did they cut out the Wolf 359 scene from this reaction? Seems like they skipped over it entirely and just brought it up again at the end. I agree that shot is like...THE most serious of maybe the entire franchise. Just a turning point for the whole civlization.
So I'm not sure if you already know this, but Patrick Stewart wanted to leave the show after the 3rd season, hence the cliffhanger which would've originally led to Picard's death on the Cube. During the filming break over the summer though, while driving, a woman pulled up alongside Stewart and yelled at him, saying, "You know, you ruined my whole damn summer." After seeing just how much people were into the show, and his character, how much they cared about Picard's fate, he changed his mind and decided to return forcing the entire script to be re-written in the span of two weeks. Also, LeVar Burton was suffering from an eye infection during filming which is why O'Brien helps in rescuing Picard instead and why we see so little of La Forge.
Imagine the awful irony if Burton's eye infection made him blind
Yeah, that's not true.
@@robvanriot Well then Patrick Stewart is a liar then because that's the story I heard from him in an interview.
It just goes to show that the feeling for a role is very much dependent on the response of the viewers.
@@chrisnichols9840 In the behind the scenes on Blu-Ray Patrick Stewart simply said he thought he was being written off the show. Nothing about wanting to leave it. However the part of the women in the car is true.
The next episode is sometimes considered the third part to this 2 part episode
Easily makes sense.
@@IceKnight81 It's like Mostly Harmless being the 5th book in The Hitchhiker Trilogy
Here's where TV storytelling diverts reality. If this had "actually" happened, this would've ended the "Enterprise family". Picard as a recovered Borg (An encounter in which one of their ships nearly ended the Federation) would be an asset too valuable to be anywhere but at Starfleet Command for his knowledge. Several of the Senior Officers would be getting new jobs as Starfleet has to rebuild the fleet and needs experienced personnel badly; Data and Worf at the very least would be getting commands or becoming first officers on new ships.
Maybe they just promoted a bunch of cadets straight to command crew positions like we learned they apparently do super casually from ST 2009...
I always absolutely love the saucer separation scenes throughout TNG. It's always a cool, rare bit of action and excitement. Although, unlike other times, this time around they turn things around and don't have the saucer retreat but instead use it as an additional ship to attack the Cube. I've also always loved that bit near the end with Data ripping the end off Locutus' arm. Such a cool, badass moment and you kinda feel sorry for Locutus as he looks so helpless and clueless about what to do after that. Finally, as you mentioned the ships at Wolf 359, the Enterprise does actually pass the broken Engineering section of a Constitution-Class ship, like the Enterprise seen in the TOS movies.
Borg are such a big threat in this episode
Picard being made a borg is like those horror stories about ppl being awake on a surgery table they remember everything and want to scream but can’t because of the sedatives.
I think by the end of part 2 Shelby gets why Riker wants to stay. It's a hell of a crew.
Also congratulations on your promotion Katrina🙃
So, Katrina out-ranks Paula? 🤔😏😎
One small detail, but with this episode they finally retired the Season 1/Season 2-Uniforms that were still worn by background actors thorough Season 3.
And there it is. The moment that redefined Star Trek.
As good as this is, the next episode really makes this episode more impactful. I can't wait to see the next reaction!
It was a really a bold move to have that episode not be the weekly alien planet but instead the direct aftermath of what just happened the week before. The first time on Star Trek.
@@Quotenwagnerianer Continuity!
The next episode should have been called the Best of Both Worlds Part 3.
I bloody love the next episode!
@Brad 1980 I'm not going to ask why because of spoilers. Suffice to say I disagree.
@@tombo1984 The only thing I dislike about it is that they didn't make much effort to conceal the fact that it was shot in California and not in France.
A little more effort and research would have given them pointers how the matte paintings should look like to reflect the area this is supposedly taking place.
In 1990, I did not have to wait long. The TV station aired part 1 a week before part 2 in September. I somehow was not even aware of part 1 during the summer of '90, only when it was re aired in September of '90. :)
3:20 I give you 7 out of 9 stars for keeping the spoiler for the other show to yourself ... ;)
Resistance to spoilers is not useless.
15:30 No, he's not okay.
Every action show: the episode ends with the battle done, and the crew off on their next adventure. That's a fact of TV shows. The same characters come back the next episode, no matter what happens. The credits roll, the show is over, and we start again next week. All the action shows, it'd take months to get there guys back to work between missions.
4x2 is one of the most important episodes, because they don't just go to the next adventure. It's BoBW Part 3; and they snuck it in.
In a military organization, you dont turn down a promotion or a command! If you do, then it wont be offered again
Star fleet has always been a quasi-military organization. Officers seem to have more control over their careers than in the militaries we know.
13:01 Aww...that so sweet, it looks like Paula's laying her head on Katrina's shoulder. 😭
@@TheNoiseySpectator Sounds like a fun challenge
39 Federation starships destroyed, 11,000 lives lost.
The Enterprise arriving at Wolf 359 was probably one of the most chilling moments in Star Trek history. It was far more of an emotional moment to see the aftermath of the battle, rather than the battle itself. In the past, it was only on rare occasions that even one Federation Starship would be destroyed. To see the broken and smashed Federation ships massacred and hopelessly slaughtered in such numbers made the Borg seem even more unstoppable.
This is the third and last time I'll ask this in the comments because I'm genuinely curious if I missed something from the original posting of this video - did they skip this scene in the reaction? I was kind of waiting for that part the most, but it seems like they went straight from the Admiral's transmission being lost to the shuttle to kidnap Picard back.
The events in this episode marks the end of The Federation's "Golden Age of Peace". From here on out, you would witness a shift in Starfleet's policies toward a more "aggressive" approach. which will be shown in both TNG and DS9.
Starfleet created the Defiant class, a warship, before the Dominion war.
The battle of Wolf 359 as it is known as, 39 out of 40 Federation starships were destroyed with over 10,000 lives lost. It is the pearl harbor for the Federation.
Cmdr Riker: if one Borg jumps off a cliff they all jump? Or to quote Captain Jake: get one Borg to party all Borg must party! Enterprise night crew! It’s time to rock out with our Spocks out!
"That can't be the last of the Borg. There has to be more of them."
Me: "Oh, child. You have no idea."
Is it wrong that, even though I absolutely love TOS, I absolutely loved your reactions to the episodes you watched and want to see more, I'm even more excited that you're back, watching TNG, and to see your reaction to this conclusion was amazing. Here's to years more of GGGW 🖖.
They call it a two-parter, but it's really a three-parter. Can't wait to see you guys watch the next one.
Can't wait till next week's episode for Katrina cry hard during that episode if she's already in tears after this one
Jeez, I can't believe you guys made us wait three extra weeks, it took so long I forgot I was even waiting for this..lol
riker probably has orders to keep an eye on the captain
Always thought it was weird that the Borg just didn't assimilate the Enterprise after they fired the deflector dish weapon. Their shields were damaged, their normal weapons did nothing. All the tech and knowledge of that ship would have made the Borg more deadly. But there wouldn't have been at TV show if they did ;)
The Enterprise was not a threat to them, at the time. It was irrelevant.
@@johnpooky84 I agree they weren't a threat which is why I was surprised the Borg wouldn't be like.........easy win for new tech and drones :)
Picard goes through some stuff in this series. After Sarek, now The Best of Both Worlds. Picard levels up again as a character.
Thanks for not having to wait months for this episode reaction!
Patrick Stewart told a nice story about the season break after the cliffhanger when some person bumped into him on the street and randomly told him: "You have ruined our summer!" LOL :)
12:32 Originally, Picard's arm was going to have been totally amputated by the Borg when they changed him. We WOULD have seen Data actually BREAK that cyber arm off at the elbow. In the end, Picard would have gotten an artificial arm, like Luke Skywalker, and it would have been a slightly different color from his actual skin.
Yeah, I can't imagine the monstrous trauma...to everyone, but especially Jean-Luc.
Back in the day, practically nobody even knew part 1 ended on a cliffhanger. Season ending cliffhangers weren't unprecedented but were very very rare... see Who Shot Jr about a decade earlier.
Was fascinated that you mentioned the “six month break” those of us watching the show live were forced to endure… mentioned at a convention, will never forget Patrick Stewart saying that someone wrote in saying “You ruined my summer”! That for sure about sums up how it felt.
This is the third version of that story I've read in these comments so far haha. The other two said someone pulled up next to him at a light, so I'm inclined to believe that one, although in one it was a man, the other a woman :P
Sometimes, it is better to be in a great place, than to reach for Nirvana!
13:32 - 13:39 Aww 🥰 Kat, that was too cute! 😊❤️
And Paula! "Go to sleep, little Borg..."
Gallifrey Gals crossover point: Katrina always used to be the one with epic hair (and it still is, Katrina!), but at this point I feel like Paula's hair needs its own credit in the intro.
i was always bummed that the Romulans didn't take advantage of Earth only having one ship for defense right now
it would have been the perfect time to attack
Can
Not
Wait
For
The
Next
One!!
I love that this episode didn't show any of the actual Battle of Wolf 359, but I just noticed that it started an increasing trend of something worst happening to Starfleet/Federation in every following Star Trek series. Not going to get into any spoilers if you do end up watching the other series, but that is huge trope I should have noticed sooner!
They couldn't afford to show it. But as often happens, it worked out better not showing it.
@@TheNoiseySpectator Since STV uses the Dominion war as a plot point in a few episodes I would still take it, but I understand why you wouldn't. I also count that STV had an multi-part episode (Future's End) based on them destroying Earth's Solar System in the future (29th century) and having to traveling back to 1996 to prevent it.
Looking back at this in ' Past tense' - I just love how you're both rocking 'LOWER DECKS' Cosplay here , & ' little did ya know !!' 🤩🤣 til now ( the present ) lol
Oh my, I'm afraid you might not be ready for the next episode.
39 ships, 11,000 personnel. And that's just Starfleet....
Know it's incredibly easy to say now but during the summer of '90,had just graduated and hadn't found a job so would take long walks and sometimes think about what might happen when TNG came back and even though I did not realize what exactly would happen,did think that the Borg's regeneration cycle might be part of it. So,um,yay me? lol
No spoilers but the next episode is good but I also remember some fans not liking it because it doesn't have much action in it.
I first watched this in 1991 or 1992 on reruns, so I pretty much went from Part I on one day to Part II on the next. :p
great that you dipped your toes into TOS (will forever be my favorite Trek). This was a powerful two-parter, the borg are such an interesting foe. Could say more but don't want to leak any "spoilers" by accident.
Somehow Borg "expert" Shelby didn't realize that the Borg could adapt to the superweapon because Locutus knew about it.
You really must react to First Contact when the time comes
None of the TNG movies are all that great. I actually like Generations best because the crew is most in character. 8 is so overrated, I think it's just flimsy, a popcorn flick really.
This episode was playing in the background of a scene in "the prince and me"
Is the scene on CZcams?
I remember waiting a whole summer not knowing anything. This was a good kick off to S4. Only 25 more to go! :)
On Star Trek Online, you can play different timelines aka show-lines. Apart from TOS, every other timeline has the space graveyard of Wolf 359 and a lot of people fly by to take it all in
And for now on the Borg are for Picard like the White Whale for Ahab.
"There must be more of them", yes girl, you have no idea.
That was the episode that got really popular.
"Most of the writing staff from season 3 stayed the same in season 4"... surprisingly, only two season 3 writers stayed on for season 4, but fortunately those two writers were Michael Piller and Ronald D Moore. :-) (also two writers who left at the end of season 3, Ira Steven Behr and Hans Beimler, later became leading lights of DS9). It was from season 4 onwards that they accumulated writers who really stuck around (Jeri Taylor, Joe Menosky, and Brannon Braga).
and now, wait until you see what's down the line: Descent, Unification, Gambit, The Inner Light....
17:20
"So many people that just died"
DS9: "Allow me to introduce myself...."
Wolf 359 is a real star system not far from our own.
During that battle 69 ships and 11 000 Starfleet personnel were lost.
Starfleet took a bitchslap and it made some changes necessary in ships design. Subsequent ships design will have more powerful warfare capabilities as a result.
The character of Shelby was expanded in the non canonical fan series Hidden Frontier where she goes from Commander to Admiral... but the events of this series are kinda linked to other ST shows as well as the ninth movie. Production quality was not high, that series was made nearly 15 to 20 years ago already.
No, they lost 39 ships. Also, their 1st encounter with the Borg? THAT was a bitchslap. Wolf 359 was the equivalant of somebody getting jumped by a gang of bikers.
I cant wait until she sees First Contact its such an amazing movie, they really need to watch them all.
They need to watch it at night, with the lights off (except for camera lights).
I was rewatching this episode and liked the arc of Riker and Shelby's working relationship. The easiest way to explain it was: Darmok and Jalad..at Tenagra.
I remember when this was on network TV in 1990, I was 15 then, yikes I'm admitting my age lol. What was rough was waiting over 3 months because the season 3 finale was the end of May I believe and the season premiere was the middle of September.
For Riker, I always thought it must be like "Do I want to be the captain of some ship, or the first officer on the flagship?". I mean, good choices to have, but still...
Like watching that single, cyberman's head drifting by, after the entire planet was destroyed to kill them...
That was Starfleet's largest defeat in over a century
I didn't have to wait either. I was also bingeing on the boxests, so one season ends, 2 minutes later i'm watching the next. It's much more convenient😋
This was an intense highlight of the whole series. I live Katrina's dark, wavy hair and dark eyes. Both ladies are likable.
Taking place after the series ends, Shelby becomes First Officer of the Starship Excalibur in the books. And...well, I won't spoil it if you want to read the books. Look up the Star Trek: New Frontier books.
Paula, you're such a nerd. Don't ever stop :D
You guys had such an open and honest reaction to this two-part epic. Also, wearing Operations and Science/Medical uniforms...nice!
Few warn you about "Family". Incoming feels, ladies.
Great episode, and one of the best Star Trek stories to this day.
Now, this is going to be interesting for me - I know a few key things that happen in the rest of the series, but I have no idea when they happen, apart from the final episode, and I don;t think I even remember all of that.
Though they did not show it in the reaction the ship that was offered to Riker was one of the ships lost at the battle of Wolf 359 the USS Melbourne.
Does anyone want to see more of Captain Riker and number one Shelby?
The summer between seasons, there was absolutely speculation that Patrick Stewart's contract was up, that Riker would take over as captain with Shelby as xo. Female trekkers at the time were really rooting for her.
They should've showed up that way in "Parallels"!
Also the link between Wolf 359 and Deep Space 9
