If you haven’t watched all of Picard, “All Good Things…” (TNG season 7 episode 25) and “Endgame” (VOY season 7 episode 25), please be advised there are major spoilers.

This may come down to a personal interpretation: did the events of “All Good Things…” ever exist? There is one reason I ask this: the false positive diagnosis of irumodic syndrome. The way I see it, the events of that episode are rendered non-existent.

Jean-Luc assumes prior to his death in season 1 of Picard that his illness was irumodic syndrome. However, it is never specified in that season that he has the illness. In season 3 Jack Crusher is diagnosed with it and assumed inherited. However by the end we learn it was a condition related to his time as Locutus of Borg.

In VOY, the future timeline with Admiral Janeway appears to be connected to the anti-timeline future from “All Good Things…”. The Admiral wearing the same uniform and badge. However the big difference is that the present day Prime Voyager is aided by future technology. We do not see the influence of Admiral Janeway get reversed, only the events of her future.

So did the events of “All Good Things…” actually occur or did the temporal incursion being fixed rendered it non-existent? After all, Q was testing Jean-Luc. Only Jean-Luc had memory of what happened. Sub-question: did Jean-Luc actually have a correctly diagnosed irumodic syndrome in the anti-timeline future?

For those unaware, Garrett Wang has discussed many times that on his way to his Voyager audition, he almost ran over Harrison Ford at Paramount Studios.

Dirty Laundry is a game show on Dropout where guest (mainly comedians) drink cocktails and guess each other’s secrets.

EDIT: Just to be clear, this wasn’t Garrett, and that isn’t a secret. And no one brings that up.

Heard a tourism ad for Key West, Florida which has the line “There’s only one road into Key West[…]” on The D-Con Chamber podcast. This is where my mind went.

EDIT: For anyone doubting the validity of a YouTube channel, Ellie Littlechild and Seán Ferrick are people that attend Trek events. I met Seán at STLV last year. On top of this they have interviewed Mulgrew. While this news is unconfirmed as Ellie stated, Seán relayed this information second hand from Star Trek: The Cruise, which featured the cast of Voyager for its 30th anniversary.

Did Syrran’s teachings change the accepted spiritual and philosophical ideology of mainstream Vulcan society? ENT had the unique position of being a prequel to TOS. It at first presented mind-melds as a deviant act that was socially unacceptable. Moving into the 23rd century of TOS and the movies (I’m going on recall right now), the deviance seemed to have gone away. However the dangers of mind-melds held true even by the time of VOY. When ENT reached the three parter of “The Forge”, “Awakening” and “Kir’Shara”, the story specifically focused on katras.

It feels like the direction ENT was pointed, the people in charge of the big lore wanted to flip what we knew about Vulcan society. One of the major conflicts over the course of the series was the Earth-Vulcan relationship. Of course this was rooted in the Federation arch.

To clarify my question: did the rebellious teachings of a cult (T’Pol specifically calls the Syrrannites a “violent cult”), become the accepted beliefs over a century?

This special announcement comes after previously announcing Bruce Greenwood (Captain Pike) and Jennifer Morrison (Winona Kirk) from ST09 for the convention.
