There's a curious #storytelling device used in #StarTrek #TNG #Voyager #DS9

And, um, idk Spoilers, I guess.

Some things, usually relationships between characters, are depicted in fake/alternative realities before they actually happen

Examples:

🖖 Troi and Worf's relationship
🖖 Odo telling Kira he loves her
🖖 Tom and B'Elanna's marriage

I assume it's done that way to gauge audience reactions, but being from an alternate reality means there's always the luxury of it never happening
