    Who built the Dyson Sphere and when? What secrets lie inside? And how damaged was the Jenolan? Alas, we don't get answers to these questions in 'Relics'.

    Democrats and the liberal media hate President Trump more than they
    love this country.

    A truly terrible episode despite the appearance of James Doohan. Of course it’s completely out of continuity with GENERATIONS, or should I say that generations is completely out of continuity with Relics.

    Why is Jordi a total ass to a famous beloved figure in his own field?

    The only good thing is that they cut Gates McMuffins scenes and just
    referred to them at the end.

    Picard finds a freaking Dyson sphere and just flies away? Has he got
    someplace more important to be?

    No one bothers to tell Scotty that McCoy and Spock are still alive?

    You have asked all the questions I asked. My very first question is, if they were such an advanced
    civilization, why couldn't they fix their sun? The fact that the enterprise flies away, and we never
    hear about it again made me crazy. And only two books? I would think a while arc of books could be made,
    including finding some inhabitants who didn't make it off and were trying to devise a way to calm the
    sun. After all, Star Trek has tried, and succeeded, with such attempts in the past.

    There was expansion upon this in the Star Trek TNG novel Dyson Sphere.
    And there is lots of involvement of the Dyson Sphere's (that's right,
    plural) on Star Trek Online which is canon according to CBS.

    There is more about it, just nothing further in the TNG series.
