But season 7 was the last season of TNG. DS9 was busy with other things and Voyager was elsewhere.
The Ferengi from “The Price” showed up in VOY, as did the Borg Queen, and Tom Riker was pivotal to an episode of DS9.
It’s a huge universe, why would this particular entity have to show up in another episode? It could be off exploring the Gamma quadrant.
Why would Starfleet be so fundamentally uninterested in learning about an enitity literally birthed by one of their Starships?
Don’t forget Janeway and Paris’s offspring!
Lol the entire enterprise crew needs some deep therapy after all the traumatic shit they deal with on the daily. The most unrealistic part of that show was how none of them became became grizzled after 10 years of life altering experiences and losses though they often showed others who did. I want to assume they had access to more than troi and just didn’t show it because an entire crew probably couldn’t be supported by one therapist similarly to how whichever physical health doctor on board had lots of help and even other doctors.
To note in passing new life and new civilizations…
I just realized the dude looks like Stamets.
