On second thought, should probably be GrandINFLUENCER.

GrandMA will get you green lit.

And building on that, what it it’s PB&J GrandMA? Think about that.

I felt like Insurrection opened a can of worms with the romance with Anij and didn’t know how integrate it with the story I was telling with Picard and Beverly but looking back I probably should’ve tried harder to integrate it.

You got a lot but missed a few - all the people Picard is running against in the marathon are named after Enterprise writers. - later Picard, Walker Keel and Jack Crusher are in a bar on Sigma Iotia II which is from “A Piece of the Action”, and the natives are dressed like they’re in starfleet.

Thanks I was very lucky to work there.

Thanks I’m very proud of that book.

I think one of the difficulties of Star Trek as a viewer is that in the show we see no lasting effects from this torture, and victims of torture live with it their whole lives, and I tried to correct that a little.

Yeah this was a no brainer. The Joni Mitchell song I put in because I felt TNG always went a little too old with its music references. #TrekBookClub

I actually was required by Paramount to put a Discovery reference in here, this was written before Discovery came out, so I actually didn’t understand the reference.

I hated how the Ferenghi were portrayed in first season TNG. I think DS9 saved them.

Yeah as an Enterprise writer I wanted to have some character from the show in the book, but I agree that it’s a little bit of a stretch. I also did a version of this story in one of my “Orville” comics.

Yeah I enjoyed that too that the brat grows up, which is also a theme of a lot of characters in trek, that they used to be irresponsible or self centered but they change and grow.
