Paramount is wrapping up the TNG era mafia-style

I'm on a rewatch of TNG and it's crazy how many characters come onto the screen and my first thought is, "Oh, my..."

Ro Laren, Shelby, Bruce Maddox, Locarno, all (presumably) deceased. I'm honestly surprised they haven't yet found a way to off Barclay.

And yet, we get a Mudd prequel. These writers are twisted.
