would multiple choice have been more helpful for one like this?
I don't want to make it to easy, but I don't want it to hard either. I'm trying to find a perfect blend.

Let me know if I should when you respond. 1. It had a Starfleet made experimental cloaking device on board, that would not only cloak the vessel, but dematerialize the ship so that it could pass through solid matter, in violation of the Federation & Romulan peace treaty 2. Best of Both Worlds. 3. Sarek. The phrasing of the question was hard to come up with so I'm awarding points to everyone. Sarek had mindmelded with Picard while on the Enterprise and had come down with Bendii syndrome, so Picard melded with him to help him control his emotions while Picard expressed them for him. In Unification, at the end, Spock regretted that he had never melded with his father(a Vulcan custom)so picard allowed Spock to meld with him, to allow him to meld with Sarek. 4. Captain Jellicho 5. It was the first time ever in a Trek series that a regular character was killed. Tasha Yar was killed by Armus in this episode and it was the first time a non redshirt was ever killed on Star Trek. On another note, the only other Trek regular to ever be killed off after her was Jadzia Dax on DS9 in the 6th Season. 6. Bajorans. 7. Ferengi- only had a handful of episodes in TNG, but on DS9 they went really indepth into their customs, same with the Klingons and Bajorans. 8. Picard. 9. Lt. Commander Shelby. Data is next in line, but Riker chose Shelby because of her training with the Borg. 10. Wolf 359 Bonus: The only change was the "where no man has gone before" to " Where no ONE has gone before" Spock- 11 Myke- 14 Overall Standings Spock- 32 Myke- 29

Wesley promptly turned it down. 2. missing crewmembers of the USS Yosemite. 3. He still blamed him for the death of his wife at Wolf 359. Picard was Locutus at the time. 4. Gowron.
