Those parasites have been followed up on in a ton of the books, IIRC, including the DS9 relaunches.
There was a connection made between them and the Trill in the Mission Gamma series, part of the DS9 relaunch. I’ll refrain from spoilering any more than that.
The one thing I wish they’d stop following up on is the Mirror Universe. Fantastic once. Great twice. OK the 3rd time, maybe. But now enough is enough. (and that’s coming from a diehard DS9 fan and an enthusiastic Enterprise fan).
Personally, any plot that gets Kira in the black leather is a good thing. 
I love the Mirror Universe, in all its incarnations. It gives the writers a chance to let their hair down and just go nuts. The books are especially fun…TRM (and Kira in leather…!!)
The evil Enterprise opening theme was fantastic, though. Go forth and kick ass, Humans!
Yea, also did Odo ever make it back to the Great Link.
That was one of the last shots of the series finale - a Tuxedo-clad Odo merging with the Link while a teary Kira looked on. Shame - if anyone deserved to get the girl, it was Odo.
If I recall correctly, they addressed this in the animated series. They returned to the planet to find it completely done over on the model of Star Fleet.
Nah, just seeing the bill would take care of that.
Oh yea, I misremembered. Gonna have to rewatch DS9 one of these days.
I think that might’ve happened in one of the comic books, but it definitely wasn’t in ST:TAS.
I read a DC comic where they retained the Chicago mob culture and handed the communicator back to Bones years later.
I also read some Trek manual that had them evolved into a Star Fleet-based culture with tricorders and uniforms.
Both are non canon, I presume.
They did indeed do over their planet to look like Starfleet.
It’s in one of the Star Trek Guides to Alien Species or something, complete with a drawing of a guy in a pseudo Starfleet uniform, which is what everyone on the planet wears now.
Followed up on in the DS9 relaunch series of novels, essentially a non-canon season eight. It all comes together in the aforementioned novel Unity, by S. D. Perry. I’m not going to spoil the novels, but any DS9 fan owes it to himself or herself to read them. They bring a very satisfying closure to the series.
I didn’t want @#$! closure, I wanted movies!
Seriously? Damn. 
:mad: I was looking forward to that being developed. I am watching TNG for (really) the first time. I never paid much attention to it when it was on the air the first time around. The station is airing them all out of order, which also bugs me.
I have come to hate Q, then be intrigued by him, then to find him annoying and then back to “hate” (more like impatience, although the actor is good). I do like Troi’s mother (Nurse Chapel in another incarnation. I mean Majel Barret).
How many children did Captain Kirk sire and when did he make his last child support payment? 
One last time for VivaLosTwages:

GOO !!!
I want to know what Scotty’s doing after they rescued him from the Dyson Sphere
What kind of civilization created that probe in “The Inner Light”? Where was this world located?
Did they ever figure out where the Organians went?
Was the old guy who destroyed the Hussnak (sp?) race a Q, or an offshoot of Q?
What is the status of the Tribble race now? Didn’t Sisko bring some back from the past? Have they spread?
What exactly was the Crystalline Entity?
What is Q and Guinan’s history?
Even though I hate him, what kind of weird adventures is Wesley Crusher getting into with the Traveler?
Speaking of the Traveler, one of the episodes once had some kind of weird malfunction, catapulting the Enterprise to a place billions of light years away from the Alpha Quadrant. It looks like they were inside giant crystals. What the hell is that??
I find it hard to believe that with the amount of times Kirk, Picard, Sisko, and Archer traveled through time, it never happened with any Romulans or Klingons or Cardassians or any of the other hundreds of space-faring races. You know none of the have a temporal Prime Directive. How come Romulans haven’t stolen tech from the future yet? Or modified their past to make them the dominant species in the galaxy?
Speaking of time traveling, some guy from the 22nd century once stole a 26th century time machine from a time traveler, then got himself captured by Picard. What happened to that technology? What about that guy?
Did Starfleet ever figure out the connection of why Sisko looks exactly like Gabriel Bell?
More Section 31!
I just saw this one yesterday, so allow me. The technology - the time pod - was always scheduled to return to the 22nd century. That’s why Rasmussen kept checking his watch-ring. Once they had him in the cargo bay, it vanished with him outside.
They then escorted him to the brig, and Picard said there were lots of 24th century historians that would be interested in talking to him once they get to Starbase whatever. The implication of that line as well as the follow-up “Welcome to the 24th Century, professor” and his look of worry leads me to believe he’s locked up somewhere.
My main question from TNG is why they never use any of the damn technology they encounter. Worst example, when Barclay turns into a super-human and sends them light years away to encounter those beings, they had a “sharing of technology” between their people. No Treaty violations or anything. OK, so why can’t all starships travel as fast as Barclay was able to make them travel? He even invented some technology in the Holodeck - what happened to it?
Which was that? There was an episode where he beams down two crewmen, but then finds out their position over a planet was an illusion (And the children shall lead) and they’ve been beamed into space.
The DS9 episode Trials and Tribble-ations was a 30th anniversary celebration episode for Star Trek. IIRC the show’s producers had also considered a return to the Iotians, who have somehow reverse engineered McCoy’s communicator to become a planet of geeks, in a send up of Trek fandom.
Yes that, the spores, the water on Scalos, why not the extra organ that Apollo used to control his temple’s power? Humans might have become a pretty tough race by the time they met the Borg in TNG, but instead they became philosophers who had rejected genetic engineering to the degree that they didn’t even allow a cure for baldness.
They really left it dangling, but I got the impression that she annoyed him more than instilled fear. Perhaps he’d met someone who could out debate him like Picard?
I think that was part of the trial of James Kirk. The issue I picked up also made mention of Friday’s Child and A Taste of Armageddon, where the two planets Vendikar and Eminar eventually did go to war and caused much carnage.
I wish I had picked up more issues of that one, the stories it looked back on weren’t cliff hangers exactly, but it was interesting to speculate on what happened after Kirk et al left orbit.
Discovering the joys of synthohol, not having so many hang overs and getting down to a few projects he’d always meant to finish off 
The time machine itself returned to the 22nd century alone. IIRC, the guy tried to make off with Data and some other technologies but was thwarted. After seeing his machine pop off in time without him, Picard reassured him that the 24th century’s historians would like to talk to him about the past. Which I assume was meant to be slightly ironic.
