I associate it with the short story "Who's Afraid of Wolf 359?" that was a Hugo finalist in 2007.

Thanks for that, it was a terrific read.

Also immortalized in the classic Brandon Bird painting “Death of Jennifer Sisko” http://www.brandonbird.com/jen_sisko.html

lol epic. Sisko is pretty much Space Jesus after all.

When I first saw that episode as a child I didn't appreciate how close Wolf 359 is to the Solar System and therefore what a big dramatic element that added to an already dramatic battle.

I feel like Best of Both Worlds is the episode that really got TNG into it's groove. There was a lot of awkwardness in season 1 and 2, some cheesy acting and scripts, season 3 was better... But I feel like once they hit this episode and started with season 4 is when the show really took off and got good.
