Nah, the PD also prevents Starfleet from, say, rigging a Romulan election.

That's because the so-called "fixed election date" leglisation only circumvents the 5-year limit laid out in the consitution. The federal and provincial Crown representatives retain the ability to call a general election - I don't think that can be changed without an amendment to the constitution, which ain't gonna happen.

It's always been smoke and mirrors.

Honestly, I'm not surprised. I'm not sure this is a "bike path neglect" issue - bridges are expensive.

...I don't get it.

Considering the overall response to the Chibnall era, the reception of the Fugitive Doctor is truly heartwarming.

 

Creation’s Trek to New Jersey begins next Friday, November 8 at the Meadowlands Exposition Center in Secaucus, NJ and has over 30 Star Trek guests scheduled to attend — including Anson Mount, Celia Rose Gooding, Christina Chong, Ethan Peck, and Jess Bush from Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, Tawny Newsome, Eugene Cordero, Dawnn Lewis, and Gabrielle Ruiz from Star Trek: Lower Decks, Star Trek: The Next Generation favorites like Jonathan Frakes, Marina Sirtis, Michael Dorn, Brent Spiner, Gates McFadden, and more.

I think the remastered version is pretty much the default that's available on Paramount+ or any other platform that has the license.

It didn't cross my mind, but that would certainly be a treat. I can't recall off the top of my head exactly how the timelines line up.

Yeah, to make the most obvious parallel, I don't think it would have been cool for Picard to have taken steps to boost the House of Mogh's status within the Klingon Empire, in the name of diplomacy or otherwise.

And to be clear, I don't think any of this is a particularly big deal.

The Prime Directive forbids interference with the internal affairs of any society.

I hate to bring this up, but giving all the treasure to Tendi's family is pretty definitely a Prime Directive violation.

I found a small amount of info on Memory Alpha, but surely there's more out there somewhere:

Most of the wanted posters seen on Deep Space Nine were make-up continuity photos provided by the make-up department from actors who previously appeared in a Star Trek episode such as Jeffrey Hayenga, Frank Collison, and Norman Large.

they missed the classic Lower Decks balance of seriousness and humor on the A plot and played it slightly too straight in a way that made it seem too much like a run-of-the mill multiverse episode.

Yeah...it feels somewhat intentional, as showing alternate versions of the characters that really weren't that different was kind of the point, but that's not exactly a comedy latinum mine.
