{{tropelist}}
* [[Aborted Arc]]: The end of ''Resistance'' seemed to be setting up T'Lana as a romantic interest for Worf, then ''Before Dishonour'' happens. He's with Jasminder Choudhury now, instead.
* [[A Father to His Men]]: Picard, as always. But now in particular to T'Ryssa, who [[Tear Jerker|acutely reminds him of one of his "children" from his experience as Kamin]].
* [[Arc Welding]]: ''Q & A'' retcons ''every'' appearance of Q into a decades-long [[Xanatos Roulette]] to prepare humanity for the [[Secret Test of Character]] being conducted by [[Sufficiently Advanced Aliens|Them]]. Except for the Sherwood Forest thing. That one was just for the hell of it. Or possibly for the [[Foe Yay]].
* [[Arch Enemy]]: The Borg Queen with Janeway, Picard, and Seven of Nine.
Line 41 ⟶ 39:
* [[Evil Matriarch]]: The Borg Queen, natch. (And in ''Before Dishonor'', the Borg Queen is {{spoiler|Admiral Janeway}}!)
* [[Fantastic Racism]]: T'Lana has a bit of this towards ''everybody who isn't Vulcan'', and Worf in particular.
* [[A Father to His Men]]: Picard, as always. But now in particular to T'Ryssa, who [[Tear Jerker|acutely reminds him of one of his "children" from his experience as Kamin]].
* [[Fictional Currency]]: The ''Ilec'' is a Karemma currency, evidently an alternative to the canonical ''Dirak''.
* [[Foreshadowing]]: The Borg Queen's threat to {{spoiler|Lady Q}} that the Borg are analyzing her during their conversation, and that with time they will eventually be able to assimilate and learn the skills of {{spoiler|the Q.}} This comes into play later in the climactic battle of ''Before Dishonor'', see [[Ass Pull]] and [[Hope Spot]].
Line 54 ⟶ 53:
* [[Hurl It Into the Sun]]: Starfleet Command briefly thinks that {{spoiler|Janeway}} has somehow overcome the Borg Queen, recaptured control of her body and is attempting this with the Borg Cube when it veers off course toward the sun. [[It Got Worse|They were wrong]].
* [[Jerkass]]: T'Lana, Lt. Leybenzon, Lady Q (though not quite as much as her husband).
* [[Killed Off for Real]]: Most infamously {{spoiler|Kathryn Janeway}}, though it's hinted that she may be able to [[Back Fromfrom the Dead|return one day]] when, after {{spoiler|Lady Q}} tells her she can't go back, she mentions how [[Star Trek III: The Search For Spock|Spock]] [[Unexplained Recovery|got better]] after the Genesis incident. More recently, {{spoiler|Scotty}} has also been killed, or so it seems. They [[Never Found the Body]], so he might have made it...
* [[Klingons Love Shakespeare]]: Thur chim Gliv, in ''Losing the Peace'', a Tellarite who enjoys classic human comedy.
* [[Lampshade Hanging]]: In ''Indistinguishable From Magic'', a character asks what the "NCC" in starship registries stands for. The character being asked - who is a starship captain, mind you - says he has no idea. This is pretty much the author acknowledging the fact that the frequently asked question has never been officially answered.
