Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
DeSeve's message sets up the idea of hidden agendas and rewriting fate (Romulan defectors, Spock’s influence), mirroring Q’s manipulation of Picard’s timeline. Both events force characters to question whether their realities are predetermined or self-made.
