Have you ever considered that the Prime Directive is not only not ethical, but also illogical, and perhaps morally indefensible?

I did a bit of a double-take here:

The Swiss-made, turbo-prop CT-157 Siskin II has been chosen to replace the Snowbird squadron. The planes are already on order and are being delivered for use as the air force’s initial pilot training aircraft.

Sure enough, these are not jet aircraft.

The truth could be somewhere in the middle - no real intent, but instead just reworking an idea from the Discarded Ideas Drawer into something new.

That info is out there for sure, but I’ve always found it pretty shaky. Here’s what Memory Alpha has to say on the subject:

The Star Trek Chronology, 2nd ed., p. 290 noted: “Although Picard and company were successful in eradicating them, the parasites did send a mysterious radio signal, presumably to others of their kind. At the time the episode was written, this was apparently intended to lead to the introduction of the Borg in Star Trek: The Next Generation’s second season. The Borg connection was dropped before “Q Who” (TNG) was written, and the truth about the parasites remains a mystery.”

The “apparently” always trips me up, but maybe there’s a more definitive statement or there that I haven’t seen.

It certainly could be true.
