Everyone loves DS9, and Brooks was more than competent for the role. Did you read the article? The tension between them is in the fictional world of Star Trek, not real life, so Brooks was not angry or jealous of anyone, you are.

To Clary because I can’t answer directly. The probe cut through Enterprise defenses and put Picard in a trance that showed him exactly what they wanted him to see through some sort of AI. Their technology would have had to been better than the federation’s techie at least on a par. Meaning they should have had warp drive. And you cannot compare them to us, because they are clearly superior based on the little tech we saw from them.

What I didn’t understand about that TNG episode was why a civilization so advanced couldn’t save itself from extinction. If a probe could do that to Picard, then they could get in a ship and leave…

Wolverine is sooo overrated! I doubt Jean would have given him a second look other than in comic book land. And fighting the hulk, he shouldn’t have a chance at all. I guess they have overpowered him just like the rest of the X-men.
