    Sometimes the B plot is the worst thing aired in an otherwise stellar episode.

    Example: “Endgame” Voyager’s Finale. Great episode except for the whole Chakotay/Seven romance subplot.

      Also that I heard some story ages ago that they did that romance based on a dare or a joke or something?

      At least even before Picard came out they had already been broken up in the novel that followed right after.

          The treknobabble on the ship trying to bring the captain back. Also their attempt to research the Tamarian language on the ship.

            oh, I didn’t consier that a b story. More like support for the A story. Like the cut aways back to the enterprise in Inner Light.

              That’s a better interpretation, although I felt those scenes were done much better in the Inner Light.
