Apparently it was initially all in one go:
Although the cast members were contracted for eight seasons,[52] Paramount ended The Next Generation after seven, which disappointed and puzzled some of the actors, and was an unusual decision for a successful television show. Paramount then made films using the cast, which it believed would be less successful if the show were still on television.[53] An eighth season also would likely have reduced the show's profitability due to higher cast salaries and a lower price per episode when sold as strip programming.[52]
Per Wiki
Thanks for clarifying. Contracted for 8, but Paramount got cold feet based on reception prior to the now much lauded finale.
From a communication standpoint, it was my interpretation that it was asking if there was a mutual understanding. Then "Sokath..." being the confirmation.
Mulaney. When Ice-T understands.
That's what I had there at first, but then I thought "Temba, his arms wide" sort of meant "are you following me?", so then "savvy" is used in its inquiring form.
Edit: changed it back to my original plan
