I figured the nebula was the new link of the changelings as soon as they were revealed and they repeatedly mentioned the biological signatures around them.
but it still doesn’t elitists may pet peeve with space nebula depictions in sci fi and Star Trek I particular, starting with Wrath of Khan and Mutara.
They are in space, and identify what appears to be a nebula as the defining feature of the Reyton system, which implies a whole solar system.
most real world nebulas, even remotely small sized like a Star system, are typically remnants of a super nova expanding outward through the radiation winds of a Star remainder.
But this nebula looks so small and dense, it appears more like a proto star, and they pretty much enter it’s extremely dense atmosphere.
An atmosphere that definitely should be orbiting it’s mystery gravitational center at significant speed and been forming an acccretion disc.
If the material doesn’t have the momentum to do that it would fall toward the gravity center just like the Titan.
It has a definable edge somehow (which makes sense if it’s a channeling link).
And no one in the bridge points out this is odd just from looking at it?
It took a the Vulcan science officer noticing biological markers to even raise an eye brow.
Ok, that’s my rant.
otherwise terrific episode.
Keep it up.

For star trek, 2 TNG games in the 90s. That’s all I can find. She voiced Benezia in Mass Effect 1.
She’s also credited as Deanna for a family guy Mobile game, but I don’t know if that was archive audio or new.
The most recent video game I can think of she was in was XCOM 2: War of the Chosen, but that’s obviously not Star Trek related beyond sharing cast membership with Frakes, Dorn, DeLancie, Crosby and Dwight Schultz
Fantastic episode....some stupid things happen once again however:
1. CONSTANT FANBOYING OF LEGACY CHARACTERS. "The greatest engineer who ever lived", Raffi's "WOW ITS WORF", Worfs pointless intro to who he is (what gave him the reasons to say all his titles?). Ultra cringeworthy. Matalas should stop goofing around.
2. Did they play it safe with the changeling angle? I think so, easy plot points going forward here for the writers "who is real, who isn't real" is going to play through the season to keep the tension up..ok for a casual viewer I suppose.
3. Shaw once again a clown, "warp us out of here". He's a captain, he knows he can't do that so why did he say it? Shaw just handing over captaincy to Riker, giving up his seat, rather quick dont you think?
4. Riker and Picard not thinking outside the box when trying to evade the Shrike? There was a million more things they could of tried rather than one of them saying "fight", one of them saying "run". Maybe they should re-watch Insurrection and Nemesis and see how they handled difficult combat situations then?

He doesn’t need a reason. It’s Worf.
??? He was heavily injured and his first officer was still confined to quarters. Riker was his best option.
He said ‘Pro tempore ’ at the end of his order to the computer, which basically means temporary
IIRC, they had bubbles in FC, tighter sub-bubbles in INS, skin-tight ones in NEM, grid ones in PRO, bubbles again in PIC S2, and now skin-tight ones again
Skin tight shields don't seem to be very effective though.
Bubble shields on the other hand seem to better absorb attacks and actually protect the ship.
The Titan-A being a Neo Constitution class and all, it seems PIC S3 is going more with the 23rd century style shields (and apparent strength/effectiveness of those).
Also, the Shriek was described as a 'guillotine' which is odd. The Galaxy class had 260 photon torpedoes at its disposal and it was an exploratory vessel.
Its as if they are equating the number of ordanance onboard with the total firepower of a vessel... which of course isn't the case.
So, in this sense, I don't see why the Titan would have to be tactically inferior to the Shriek, unless SF underequipped the ship when it comes to shields and weapons.
A "My name is Worf" would have had more impact to Raffi's follow up line. He doesnt need to introduce himself like he did, as he knows Raffi served with Picard as XO, and she would then figure out it herself as Picard would have no doubt talked about him.
I mean in most of the other series he almost always says ‘son of Mogh’ when introducing himself.
Meh, it was very clear that he was taking delight in making a great entrance and a joke at the same time.
He always was very much the dramatic type, except now he is self conscious about it and embraces and having fun with it.
Glad to see he took Jadzia’s advice about loosing up a bit.
He is honoring her greatly.
In fact he reminded me a lot of Jadzia in his attitude.
And of the Klingon Warriors Three.

I think the fanboying is deliberate and thematic, and even something of a meta commentary — especially as a lot of story beats are about rejecting legends, disproving legends and rumour, and about struggling against the weight of being born of those legends. The trouble that legends bring basically.
What’s interesting is they chose to do it that way, rather than Picard and Riker using override codes in an emergency after Shaw was incapacitated.
Her son DIDN'T grow up without a father. He grew up with Jean-Luc Picard!
Speedy thing goes in, speedy thing comes out. Do you think there will be cake?
The scene where he had lines was deleted. He’s in it I just checked on prime and he’s visible while Picard is making his spearhead.
Was Chamomile tea the exact tea Worf drank with Kevin and Rishon Uxbridge in the TNG episode The Survivors?
I can't seem to recall if it was exactly named but it's got to be a reference to that scene anyways.
"Good tea, nice house "
Also, Kevin became a pacifist, even though we know Worf isn't exactly one though he says it to Riker in the trailer.

I don't see it mentioned on the memory-alpha page for Chamomile tea. But the records could be incomplete.
Edit: I did a quick check of the transcript for the episode, there's no type given, just that the planet has good tea.
