Could you please expand on what you mean by shoehorning in the Guinan scene? How would you handle it if you were the episode writer?

Edit: to be clear, I know what shoehorning is, I just want to know why you think it occured here.

I was referring to this trivia:

Picard’s scene with Guinan was not in the original script. Melinda M. Snodgrass was told that they needed a “Ten-Forward” scene to accommodate Whoopi Goldberg coming in that week.

I took it as true, although I had a quick go at finding where this claim came from and am drawing a blank

  I think that scene was necessary. “Disposable people” was a powerful summary of the issue.

  Interesting and cool if true. Thanks!
