Again, it is biological - like salmon swimming upstream to … you know ... do "it." Not something to get all judgy about, sheesh. You take it all too serious.

Because she's the CINC of Star Fleet (CINC stands for Commander In Chief) - as was stated in the episode. If Picard wants reinstatement and a ship, she has to approve it, period. He doesn't get to pick who he sees for reinstatement after resigning in protest.
And personally the response was absolutely on point and warranted because Star Fleets DOES get to, and has on many an occasions, made the choice as to whether a Civilization lives or dies. It's a BIG part of the Prime Directive - and especially the TNG era interpretation of the PD.

Even Sarek's assistants in "Sarek" could be a bit abrasive. Let's not pretend this is something new.
Really? Abrasive? Wow, the bar gets lower and lower and lower. "Damn those abrasive Vulcans. DAMN THEM ALL TOO HELL!"
More that they are capable of a wide variety of behaviors. Including evil, immoral and negative .Really? Abrasive? Wow, the bar gets lower and lower and lower. "Damn those abrasive Vulcans. DAMN THEM ALL TOO HELL!"
What they are "capable" of is meaningless as it is general and vague.
Except, we've seen exactly what they are capable of, including murder, in the name of logic. That's why "capable of" is so important. They justify it through logic.
When in TOS did they murder?
I cannot recall of any, aside from T'Pring's wonderful conspiracy to have Spock murdered by Stonn's hand or vice versa.
good enough for me
Not a conspiracy as T'Pring invoked a legitimate right within the process of Pon Farr.
Just as an aside … always thought Pon Farr would have been a great name for a punk rock band.
And now for something completely different ...
Conspiracy: the action of plotting or conspiring.
T'Pring plotted to either have Stonn either way, either by Kirk stepping up as her champion and dying, or Kirk killing Spock and she would be free to marry Stonn. She states as much to Spock at the end of the episode.
Sounds like a conspiracy to me...
Did someone already notice the questionable hygiene of these people?
After they get out of bed they put their clothes on and go to work!!! How about a shower, pigs!!!
Never visit Japan...

I quite enjoyed the episode. It continues to reinforce what we already know about Picard himself - a man of conviction, of morals. I'm immensely curious about what appears to be a group effort regarding the Artefact, and how deep the Romulan agenda goes...

First, they have sex in their underwear but that's not the worst of it. After they get out of bed they put their clothes on and go to work!!! How about a shower, pigs!!!
Actually, I thought of that as well.

Wasn't a conspiracy. Nothing illicit about it. As for choosing Kirk as her champion, well, not even Stonn knew she was going to do that. Even, if he had, she was bona fide. If you and a friend go out and start a newspaper to exercise your 1st amendment right of free speech, well, that ain't a conspiracy. It's a matter of intent.

Well, we need to see if Hugh is somehow connected to the Romulan Borg experiments, and if Picard pulled a "Ceti Alpha V" on Hugh and his group after Descent (i.e. never checked up on them)
