We generally don't protect spoilers after about a week. In this case, it's been nearly a year.

She dated and split up with Raffi between seasons one and two.

Yeah, I'm sure the full PD is riddled with case studies and examples of what sorts of decisions Starfleet captains can unilaterally make without specific approval from the Federation Council.

And of course, the Council seems to be able to order Starfleet to override the PD if they want to.

It's applied to other civilizations pretty regularly.

The most cut-and-dried one off the top of my head is Sisko citing the PD when declining to help Tosk in "Captive Pursuit".

The Prime Directive and the rules governing first contact overlap, but they are distinct.

If we're having a serious conversation about the PD, it's important to note that it's a blanket "don't interfere" rule that applies to all civilizations, warp-capable or otherwise.

Most of the time, it makes sense, but these edge cases are wild.

Yeah, I agree that that part of the dialogue is problematic. However, "Picard" definitively stated that it was the Romulan star.

It's so rare to see promotional posters these days that are actual cast photos. I miss those.

Naomi Wildman says it has 47 sub-orders in "Infinite Regress".

It was interesting, even at the time, it seemed like everyone was talking about Krasinski as a cameo, and not necessarily a long-term plan. It's been a weird era for Marvel.

This seems fine, I guess. Pascal is the only one that I recongize by name, but that means nothing.

This is the first we're hearing of a panel at SXSW, in addition to the screening there:

The hit Paramount+ Original Series STAR TREK: DISCOVERY prepares to embark on its fifth and final season this April 2024. Since its debut in 2017, DISCOVERY has earned widespread acclaim for its dedication to diversity and for redefining the Star Trek franchise for a new generation. The show’s unique strength lies not only in its captivating narrative and award-winning world-building but also in the groundbreaking representation it brings to the forefront. As the lead of the series, Sonequa Martin-Green made history as the first Black woman to helm a Star Trek series and last season broke additional barriers as she became the Captain of the series’ main starship, the U.S.S. Discovery. The show boasts an ethos of inclusivity, also blazing trails in LGBTQIA+ representation in sci-fi storytelling and TV in general, featuring the first on-screen intergalactic same-sex couple as well as multi-dimensional non-binary and trans characters. This final season will see our beloved crew embarking on a new adventure and celebrate the show’s bold storytelling over its past four seasons as it continues to honor Star Trek’s legacy of “infinite diversity in infinite combinations.”

Alex Kurtzman, Michelle Paradise, aSonequa Martin-Green, Doug Jones, Wilson Cruz, David Ajala and Blu del Barrio are scheduled to participate.

"You will be remembered for a week or so."

 

It still has to be ratified, but it sounds like everyone's going to get back to work.
