We are three hours into a ten hour story. Be patient. If the answer is actually important, we'll get it. If not we're Star Trek fans. We've been inventing our own explanations for almost 55 years.
Science fiction fans have been doing it for decades, and not just with Trek. Why stop now?
The actress playing Raffi (Michelle Hurd) has stated in interviews that the character has had an addiction problem dating back before she met Jean-Luc.
So it wasn't made up by the Trek Fans.
Of course he is. Picard lives in something of an ivory tower.
What I'm saying is that Offenhouse's investments were likely wiped out, along with his attorneys during World War III.
Do we really need it spelled out? Her association with Picard cost her her job, it seems fairly cut and dry. And, historically, we know Starfleet can be petty. Look at the 1701-A they gave Kirk after he slipped the "noose" on those regulations violations.

Every time I see that picture with those ears I think of Gizmo from the Gremlins films.
Every time I see that photo, my eyes go straight to that crooked ass rank pin.
The Doctor is not a Synth.
He's an AI with "Future Alien Technology" that allows him to be mobile from static EMH emitters.
And obviously, since we see EH's on Rios ship it's is likely that the Federation classifies Synth's & AI's separately.
If Star Fleet had to also shut down all AI's, their fleet of ships would become obsolete overnight.
They're fine and they will be back.
After the Voyager returned to Earth and Doctor was no longer critically needed he was banned. Not because the synth ban but because he was just too annoying.
The writing may be due to the fact that Patrick has a lot more input into the writing than usual, as revealed in interviews. And by his own admission he "doesn't usually like science fiction". The rest of the writing staff goes along with his whims because, well, he's Sir Patrick Stewart and the star.
This may be true on an exact words level, but we've seen in every holodeck malfunction episode and with Moriarty and the fact there's an army of Picardo EMH laborers with axes to grind that holographic entities can indeed be dangerous.
Probably. Though I got the impression that Rios wan't running an exactly lawful operation to begin with so breaking the hypothetical AI ban wouldn't probably bother him that much.
We don't need it "spelled out" but we need a logical explanation that tracks. And "Starfleet's petty" isn't it. You can't be fired TODAY from an ordinary job just for your association with someone else.
There's no way Starfleet acts that way and saying "ha ha remember the Ent-A" from 30 years ago is the dumbest rationale you could have come up with.
In the ten seconds it took me to compose my last post, I came up with a far better explanation putting zero thought into it.
It's inexcusable that this show is making these kinds of dumb mistakes.
Taking the flagship of the fleet, the Enterprise, to head up a relocation project half the Federation doesn't even want makes no sense. Picard would logically be on a ship that would oversee the Romulus evacuation, and that ship wouldn't be the Enterprise E.

I just looked at the picture again and noticed the one eyebrow on the left, is it just me or is she also doing the solo eyebrow raise while wearing shades...
