Pretty harsh to call Tuvok "chaff" - the man's chief of security!

The issue seems to be fairly non-partisan.

We also have a Mastodon PSA up - unfortunately, with the post being difficult to access, there's not too much else we can do - I ran into the same issue, myself.

It looks like they may have done some frenzied patching after this went viral.

As far as I know, the directive mainly applies to officers who are sent back in time and/or given the opportunity to change established history. I don't think it would prevent someone from making an arrest in their "proper" time.

At most, it might limit their ability to interrogate the prisoner, if they can verify that the intruder is from the future and possesses knowledge that the contemporary officers can't have.

Yeah...I generally use verbatim headlines as post titles, but maybe I'll add some quotation marks in this case.

I think you might be able to draw a parallel with long-running serials like comic books, or even Star Trek itself. They tend to revisit old themes and revolve around a certain status quo.

They tend not to involve multigenerational obedience to an authoritarian regime, though...

Yeah, internet drama isn't a topic that we're interested in hosting on this instance.

That setting is the rough timeframe that precedes the first season of "Picard," with the Romulan supernova, the attack on Mars, and various other events of that nature being relatively recent history.

Easily the, uh, biggest episode of the series!

Well yes, but I'm sure they could reverse the polarity of something and make it happen.
