Anyone remember season one of TNG had a few conspiracy episodes in it that were connected (with the little bug creatures that had infiltrated Star Fleet)? Then it was all dropped by season two (which introduced The Borg). Wonder if this is going to come back to that?

Apparently Terry Matalas considered it but went with the Changelings instead:

So that would mean anyone that you saw with a bug in them was dead, and you wouldn't be able to do the paranoia thriller that you wanted to do if it was somebody you loved, that meant they were dead. So there [were] about three storylines I couldn't do without killing legacy characters.

Also the TNG bugs kind of reminded me of the mind control bugs from Wrath of Khan. And the special effects looked like Red Dwarf.
