   Hi, out of nowhere romance from these two people all of whose chemistry was established off-screen presumably.

     Wow. The message is a bit sledgehammery.
     
     But Q going back in time and actively exploiting and worsening someone's mental health is much better than the political event I thought they might be going for.

     Wow. It's like Brent Spiner keeps trying to get out and they just keep pulling him back in.

     Old Brent Spiner looks much better preserved than Old Noonian Soong.

     Are they just going to drop the whole 'eugenics wars' thing and just retcon the explanation being "Something in the Earth's atmosphere makes everyone living there a bigot about genetic engineering"?

     You'd think in a world with digital recording technology and deep fakes they'd have given up voice identification years ago.
     
     Unless the Federation is the casualty of the War on General Purpose Computing like you wouldn't believe and Federation Security comes bursting through your door if you try to build a computer.
     
     It wouldn't be the first time. Babylon 5 did the same thing. Having files 'moved to earth for investigation' and disappearing completely.

     Oh goodness gracious.
     
     Are they going to try to set it up so that /doctors being allowed to treat people for xeroderma pigmentosum/ leads to fascism?
     
     If I wanted anti-technology pablum I'd watch the Ewoks take out the Empire, thanks.

     Ooh. Well. I can't say I don't appreciate the call-back to Gary Seven.
     
     I wonder if he's Seven of Nine's ancestor.
     
     Perhaps she's the ninth person in her family named Seven.

     Just think of how much interesting stuff the show could be demonstrating if they weren't spending so much time on a cross between H. R. Giger's Raggedy Ann doll and what a cat would throw up after eating GlaDOs.
     
     (One that doesn't even exist in universe, I might add, and is only the product of a Hollywood hack's defect of imagination.)

     I wish the writers would quit acting as if a cross between someone selling bitcoin derivatives and a marketing department with a helping of sleazy vaguely sexual harassment were either convincing or scary.

     …here I thought she would have shot the policeman to stifle the malignant plot tumor from a subpar movie, not excise it.
     
     Not that opposed to excising the badly developed mass of special effects that makes a mockery of the entire concept of an adaptive parallel system.

     Well, in Star Trek: Discovery an AI that was evil for no particular reason hacked into the starship with a SQL injection attack.

     My headcanon is that LCARS is an Electron frontend communicating to an emulated PHP+MySQL operating system, now.

     @Azure Perhaps the Federation just has truly dismal opsec because their engineers live in a utopia?

     I mean, presumably the Federation military would have better security, but when military doctrine revolves around shields and teleporters, maybe cybersecurity is low on the list of priorities?
