Wil Wheaton is another one who should have stuck it out on Next Generation.
I heard he actually had a sizable female fan following while he was on the show.
He left the show because he thought the writers, directors, and producers were being mean to him and holding him back from spreading his wings as a serious actor.
I heard he’s a washed up actor now trying to bank off his limited time on Star Trek by going to conventions, writing a memoir, and badmouthing William Shatner.

I don’t think Marina should promote Star Trek as a way to meet girls:
There’s too many guys and not enough females. And those dishes get scooped up really fast.
I think Riker and Deanna Troi are really the only successful Star Trek power couple that got married and stayed together, retired and had a daughter. In the end they chose each other over their careers.
I don’t think that’s happened before.

I'm at ds9 1x16 The Forsaken, the one with a great character ep of Odo getting stuck in an elevator with the vampy Troi (who was Deanna's mom?!? Whaaaaa?!?). But I zeroed in on the alien program that O'Brien named Pup, who he kept in a doghouse program.
I'm really disappointed to find that the wiki says Pup was never mentioned onscreen again and the program apparently died in a future incident. You don't name an entity as Pup and just forget about it and let it die! Boo!

You didn't see any TNG episode with her? She was constantly harassing Picard and embarrassing Deanna.
Didn't watch all of Next Gen. I only found out after I checked the wiki to look for what happens to the Pup program.
I'm past the season 2 three parter, which was ok but darn, poor Li Nalas.
Was on the John Glover taking Jazdia's symbion ep and just want comment that the Dax symbion idea is, while not a new idea, it's variation is something new and interesting to see in storytelling, where Dax is not the same person but still carries the essence of the previous Daxes or whatever.
Edit - oh the scene with Kira leaving was hilarious. I didn't expect humor in that scene and it just didn't want to end, hahaha

Watching Star Trek V on DVD.
As a whole the movies are a single connected story up to Star Trek VI.
Star Trek VII was more of a Pass The Torch movie.
First Contact - Nemesis is more of a connected Trilogy as all 3 were on the 1701 - E.
Too bad they didn't do any movies after Nemesis when Riker was captain of Titan.

First of all, every Star Trek actor does the Convention circuit. Its good easy money, in front of thousands of happy devoted fans, where you get to travel all across the globe.
Second, he did leave the show, but it was due to the writers and directors intentionally trying to sabotage his work schedule to keep him off other projects as well as the abuse of his parents that forced him into acting in the first place.
He had a big geek following online, and then that kind of exploded about 15 years ago when he started doing episodes of the Big Bang Theory, D&D shows, and more. He has pretty much been the Star Tek ambassador since it started up again with CBS All Access. Hosting a behind the scenes show called The Ready Room for every single episode of Discovery, Strange New Worlds, Picard, and Lower Decks. It is on Paramount Plus, and it usually is worth the watch, especially if you are watching the series week to week. .
Also if you didn't realize, Lwaxana was played by Majel Barrett, same actor as TOS's Number One, Nurse Chapel, and the voice of the computer up through Voyager.
That season 2 three parter was great. It shows what DS9 can be even without their eventual iconic antagonists. Those episodes and the Season one episode Duet.
2-4 are very much connected, as they leave in 2, and don't get back until the start of 3, leave again, and don't get back until the end of 4. 5 was made, and it picks up at the end of 4 where they are doing a shakedown cruise of the new ship, so its kind of connected, but all the plot points from 2-4 have been addressed at this point. Paramount didn't like the financial results of it, and it was going to be the last TOS crew film with the next film being a prequel at the acadmey days told by Boens in a flash back. One of the big wigs at Paramount, Frank Mancuso, hated that idea and didn't want to leave it like that and they wrote Star Trek 6 to literally be the ending for the TOS crew. A Berlin Wall falling moment for Star Trek is how they described it.
