What did everyone think? I slipped into a fugue state when I saw actual Gallamites.

Aside from the obvious space angle, it seems more like a "Suicide Squad" vibe to me, which makes a little more sense, I think.

Their marketing tone is not what I expected at all, but I'm still interested in what the heck this thing will be.

I just want a sense of what the actual story is.

I just want to see Janeway's plan. She has no plan!

When it comes to the overlapping shows, it might be better to frame things around events rather than series. Like, Dominion War, Romulan Evacuation, etc. But then, there are still some gaps in there, or unrelated adventures that aren't really defined by those major events.

That's one way to spin it, but another is that they're elevating a particular Orion house back into prominence immediately after they were stripped of their wealth by their government, which should most certainly be considered interfering with internal affairs, no?

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.

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.
