So nice of Troi and the others to have forgotten Locutus...
STARFLEET MUST HAVE HATED DATA AND PICARD BECAUSE BOTH WERE THE SAME RANK IN THE PILOT AND THE LAST MOVIE, AND THEY NEVER EVEN GOT TEMPORARY PROMOTIONS.
Actually, I do think that Starfleet in general did not trust Picard, post Locutus. He had an opportunity to wipe out the Borg and passed on it 'cus Hugh had "rights".
I remember on the Usenet boards back when the show was running. We got a spoiler that there was going to be a Borg getting a name and we were putting in our votes/guesses. I was favoring "Bjorn".
