Star Trek The Next Generation "Coming of Age"

[spockvarietyhour]

Coming of Age laying the steps to the penultimate episode of the season "Conspiracy"

It's funny watching this and how its portrayed here, the paranoia surrounding Quinn and Remmick and then its quickly brushed over with "eh maybe I'm jumping at shadows" as he's busy placing people he trusts in positions of power and ready to take over Starfleet.

Also contrast this with DS9's "Homefront" & "Paradise Lost"

Quinn's attempt fails because despite his precautions, he and Remmick get co-opted by the movement they're investigating (rewatching Coming of Age I doubt Remmick had been um, hollowed out and taken over by the bluegill* Queen at this point. Hell I don't think they knew what shape that whole thing was going to take), while Leyton's fails bc of Sisko and his crew. Both are responses to external threats (perceived or real).

Unfortunately I also have to ask what is Section 31 up to during this time question [sigh]. I do have ideas actually, ranging from nudging events in Conspiracy to get Picard's attention to them being fine with Leyton's acting in DS9. But i need to think on that.

Also Quinn at the end of Conspiracy is basically just given a clean bill of health and (presumably) just goes back to work (tho personally I think he just retires) and while we do get a hint of a follow up with The Drumhead, we don't really get any fallout for Quinn and his cohorts. The focus is mostly on the people that got taken over by the bluegills and how we may never how how many were taken over and not 'Quinn's been busy putting people he trusts in positions of power in the previous months.'

Regardless it's interesting watching Quinn and Leyton being portrayed a bit differently, while essentially being the same side of the same damn coin.

*bluegill was the name of the pink little creatures that were inside their hosts skulls in conspiracy, the proto-Goa'uld. They weren't named in the episode but that's what they were called in beta canon

Admiral Gregory Quinn: Starfleet Admiral in the Operational Support Services Division. Used the Enterprise’s layover at Relva VII to conduct a snap investigation, along with Lt. Cmdr. Dexter Remmick (with the Inspector General’s Officer). The investigation and the interviews were a front to make sure the Enterprise crew and her Captain had not been co-opted, believing forces either internal or external were looking to destroy the Federation from within. Quinn offered Picard the promotion to Admiral and the position of Starfleet Academy Commandant hoping to keep him close while also believing he was the best man for the job. Picard declined and Quinn let the matter drop. 

Some time after Relva VII but before the destruction of thestarship Horatio, Dexter Remmick infected Admiral Quinn with a mind controlling parasite. Admiral Quinn became one of many unwitting aides in an alien conspiracy to take over the Federation. 

Quinn was on Earth when the Enterprise returned following the destruction of the Horatio, along with the Admiralty invited Picard to dinner at Starfleet Headquarters, with first a trip to the Enterprise where he misdirected Captain Picard about his previous fears but only drew attention to himself. Quinn attempted to infect Riker with the parasite, attacking him Only the intervention by an armed Dr. Crusher was Quinn subdued. Medical examinations revealed the alien parasite which had attached itself to the base of his skull and taken complete control. When the Remmick-Queen creature was destroyed, his parasite also perished leaving no trace. He was given a clean of health. 

Appeared in TNG’s “Coming of Age” and “Conspiracy”

Great Moments in Science Fiction History: Star Trek: The Next Generation, "Conspiracy".

In this TNG first season episode, Rear Admiral Gregory Quinn shows up on the Enterprise-D carry a Worlds of Wonder “Class Act ‘Stuff-It’” Binder. Commander Riker is so appalled by the sight of this 1980s Trapper Keeper alternative that he momentarily transforms into another person.
