But this does raise the obvious question about his previous loves and that there is no real sense of closure. Season three will, fans hope, give an answer to the "Jean-Luc, there's something I need to tell you..." which has plagued many a conversation with one Doctor Beverley Crusher over the years.

But Anij seemed to be the one and while the lack of a mention in Nemesis was fair enough, to know what led to JL's change in affection direction would be good to know.
