I'm referring to Picard, Riker, Data, Worf, Geordi, Dr. Crusher, Wesley Crusher, Chief O'Brien and family, Deanna Troi, Guinan. I know Picard and Worf show up on DS9, though I haven't seen it myself. I'm curious what happened to the characters after that last episode of TNG?

    Might also be worth mentioning Riker's transporter duplicate appearing in DS9. Commented Apr 12, 2019 at 16:39
  • It's “Deanna Troi”. Commented Apr 12, 2019 at 16:46
  • It’s been a while since I watched it, but I don’t remember Picard appearing on DS9 after ep1. Nothing mentioned on Memory Alpha either.

  • Remember? During the Dominion War the Enterprise was dispatched to fight. I thought he appeared briefly (just a transmission not in person) Commented Apr 12, 2019 at 17:27

    I'd change O'Brien's section to say all seasons, as he was a main character in virtually every episode from the very first onward.

Here is everything I can remember, written to avoid spoilers as much as possible.

Captain Picard was in "Emissary", the pilot episode of DS9.

The Enterprise stopped at DS9 in "Birthright Part 1" and so several DS9 characters were guests in that TNG episode, which I guess is the reverse of what you asked about.

Worf was a DS9 regular character in the 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th seasons. Miles O'Brien and his family moved to DS9 in "Emissary", and O'Brien became noted for the many bad things which happened to him in various episodes.

A duplicate of Will Riker appeared in a DS9 episode,

One of the regular TNG characters was killed during the first season but sort of kind of returned in a few later episodes, one of the regular TNG characters was replaced by another one during the second season and then returned in the following seasons. Wesley Crusher went to Starfleet Academy but returned in a few episodes and made a major life decision in one of them. At Starfleet Academy Wesley and some fellow cadets were involved in a scandal. One of those cadets later served on the Enterprise in one episode, while many fans think that another one changed their name and was a regular on Voyager.

"All Good Things" the last episode of TNG, saw Q return for a final confrontation with Picard, and Picard found himself jumping in time from the time of "Encounter at Farpoint" to his present and to 25 years in the future of "All Goods Things", and saved all life on Earth or more.

So "All Good Things" showed what the future of the characters would be for 25 years in the future. Except that it showed one possible future out of many (see the episode "parallels" to see a multiverse of many alternate universes), and two TNG movies contradicted it in a couple of major details, thus showing that the TNG movies and the 25 years in the future scenes are two separate and different possible futures of "All Good Things".

The TNG cast appeared in four movies: *Star Trek: Generations", Star Trek: First Contact, Star Trek: Insurrection, and Star Trek: Nemesis and there was a marriage and the death of a major character in one of them.

Q brought Riker to Voyager in one Voyager episode, and Deanna Troi and Reginald Barclay (an engineer in several TNG episodes) communicated with Voyager in several episodes.

And Riker and Deanna Troi appeared in "These Are the Voyages", the last episode of Enterprise, as others have mentioned.

The new Star Trek: Picard series features some of the former TNG crew, besides of course the titular character Jean-Luc Picard.

Data

enter image description here

Data appears in the fisrt episode, playing Poker with Picard in a dream sequence.

He also make another and final appearance in the last episode, when he asks Picard in a "quantum simulation" dream-like sequence to have his consciousness be terminated, thus letting him be free to finally "die".

Riker & Troi

enter image description here

In the seventh Episode, Picard meets William Riker and Deanna Troi in their house on planet Nepenthe, where they now live with their daughter.

The last episode of Enterprise featured Riker interacting with the characters of Enterprise via a holodrama based on them. However that was supposed to be the Riker from the TNG episode "The Pegasus". What is soon supposed to happen is a sequel series streaming on CBS Online which will reveal what happens to Captain Picard after his time as captain of the Enterprise is over.

    Troi and Barkley appeared on Voyager also (and Will Riker, not transporter Riker, is mentioned). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pathfinder_(Star_Trek:_Voyager) Worf, O'Brien, and O'Brien's family were regulars on DS9. There's probably more I'm not remembering. There's also the TNG movies, which take place (or mostly take place) after the series, chronologically.
