One Eugenics war. Why would you think there was another???
In SNW when he talks about the wars Pike was just lumping them together out of order. It's not like he went in with prepared remarks on a PADD or sheet of paper. He's winging it.
It was always referred to as the Eugenics Wars....so I fail to see the confusion..
Then it shouldn't be plural.
Never understood why it was Wars if they meant one war. Multiple wars makes sense from the title.
Yeah, they were just off-the-cuff remarks not a prepared speech.
I always assume is was a bunch of small genetic battles/wars happening simultaneously.
I assume it was several events punctuated by brief armistice. Voyager seemed to hint at that.
Robin Williams made a Non-comedy movie? That's news to me.
Several.
He made several non-comedies— some of them intentionally.
When you call the 'Borgified Queen of Dr. Agnes Jurati' = (Borgati), you make her sound like a Hybrid Sweedish-Italian sports car for some reason.
Never heard of Awakenings?
Hell, despite some funny moments, Garp is pretty sad as well.
I thought this as well, but then how does Federation Guinan have memories of meeting Picard in 2024 of when she was still unaligned Guinan? Does this mean that when the timeline resettled back into the Federation timeline, a simultaneous reset happens to reinclude Time's Arrow and Federation-Young-Guinan chooses to pretend not to know Picard and things unfolded as they did in the unaligned timeline where she had never met him, or does it mean that Guinan just retains the memories of her alternate selves when the timeline ripples finally settle?
FEIW:
I hated the Enterprise theme at first, but it has grown on me. The S1-S2 version, that is.
No way this is the worst season of a Trek series. Early Enterprise, a year of Voyager (6 or 2), TOS3, TNG1, and most of DISCO are in the running.

Nope, never heard of that movie. The only movies I really recognize him for were his famous comedy movies.
In the episode that we met Laris, we discovered that she could take control of other people's minds. Why didn't she just take control of Soong? The ability, once it served the purpose of bringing Picard to Lairs, was never brought up again.
I feel like the finale re-contextualized the whole season and made it into a more cohesive story.
Q's actions which seemed inexplicable initially make a lot more sense in context of the finale which makes me enjoy this season more in retrospect. For example, let's assume for a moment that the galactic level event we see is indeed the aftermath of the death of a Q (or at lease something he knew was coming), then he would know that this would end up destroying the entire Alpha quadrant. How can this be stopped? By making a world where the Borg and the Federation can work together to create the shield we see at the end. Just as the new queen needed someone to trust and could be trusted, Q would need the same thing. Bringing Picard into a world where the Borg is reduced to a lone Queen is of paramount importance (pardon the pun) as it sets the stage for this partnership. This explains the need for the Confederation timeline. The two-person collective of Agnes and the Borg Queen had to happen which not only saves the Alpha quadrant but also reinforces the theme of accepting past trauma to create a better future. The loneliness they both experience is what drives them together. Q's interaction with Soong also makes sense in this context as it was the only way to bring about the one timeline where "one Renee lives and one dies" (granted, I'm not exactly sure why that would need to be the case). He also needed Renee to have anxiety about the Europa Mission to bring about the events leading to that timeline as well.

Williams was also famous for many high profile dramatic roles, like the previously mentioned World According to Garp and Awakenings, as well as Good Morning Vietnam, Dead Poets Society, The Fisher King, Good Will Hunting, Insomnia, and One Hour Photo.
Four of them were Oscar nominated roles, one of which he won for, Good Will Hunting.
