TNG s6e7 “Rascals”
Is everything alright in here?
Yes, Mr. Riker!
I heard that damned theme song as I read it.
I would unironically watch the fuck out of a 90’s style “babies” Star Trek spinoff. I picture it basically being Lower Decks, but without swearing.
Me too. A pretty good template could be the Marvel Comic series “Franklin Richard’s”, where the son of Mr Fantastic gets up to hilarious science hijinks in his father’s lab.

Hello, Starfleet Medical? I’d like to schedule my annual transporter based cellular rejuvenation.
Starfleet Medical has no record of such a procedure.

Every Trek series could have done one of these and I would have loved each and every one.
I always find it weird that the borg babies didn’t try to assimilate Boimler
Maybe they are, but those parts haven’t developed yet - notice how their arms are bare. There might also be neurological differences in babies that prevent the full influence of the collective.
