Paradoxically sufficient, had Roddenberry permitted of the thought of linking “Time Squared” and “Q Who” on this method, it could have been an echo of the present’s different huge Borg reveal. Within the season 1 finale of TNG (“The Impartial Zone”), we study that Federation and Romulan outposts have been attacked by some form of unknown power.
Maurice Hurley wished this to arrange the introduction of the Borg in season 2; the 1988 author’s strike delayed these plans, although the Borg assault on Jouret IV in “The Better of Each Worlds” belatedly confirms that the Romulans had been behind these earlier assaults on outposts alongside the Impartial Zone.
