    Was her relationship with Worf ever explained? Like they were trying to get something started in the finale and then there was just nothing in Generations… I feel like missed something.

      Basically, the writers always envisioned Riker and Troi would marry at the end of the series, but Rick Berman overrode them and forced the Worf romance because he wanted to mix things up.

      Marina Sirtis and Jonathan Frakes both hated the Worf romance because they felt their characters were basically destined to end up together from the very beginning.

      It was never actually explained canonically, but basically everyone hated it except Rick Berman and Michael Dorn and if they married Deanna and Worf in Generations Nemesis (mixed up which movie they got married in), I guarantee it would’ve led to a lot of very angry fans.

        Okay, so I didn’t miss anything; they just straight up said, “Let’s just move on.” and didn’t follow-up on the story.

        I kind of liked the Troi/Worf thing because it was so unexpected, but then it didn’t go anywhere and we didn’t even get a good breakup scene, or even a reference to it later.
