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 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.

In the Mike McMahan interview TrekMovie ran yesterday, he said they knew it was going to be the final season fairly early in the writing process, so you could be on to something.
