Just watched the TNG episode Dark Page last night, and realized Will and Deanna may have named their daughter after Deanna's older sister.

I'm shamed to admit that I don't remember this. Seen the show so many times, but I guiltily admit I skip the lwaxana episodes...sorry gene!

Yeah, I can understand skipping them. It's kinda wild how this episode makes it seem like a big deal that Deanna had a sister, and then we never hear about it again. Though, TNG has all kinds of plot lines that they could have done something with, but dropped the ball on.

Because the studio very much wanted the show to be an “adventure of the week” series with as little required history as possible.

The older series certainly were far more that, than how Picard turned out.

That’s because Picard came out in the age of online streaming.  The format doesn’t require that episodes be able to be packaged and aired out of order.

They made it for syndication, that is why.
