I didn’t even notice Worf wasn’t in this episode. I suppose it takes time to get to Daystrom station.
 
I gave this one a 10.

I'm wondering, is it possible that Vadic's crew are the creatures from "SCHISMS"?
They certainly sound similar and the two Beverly phasered in the first episode did not react in their destruction the same as when the Changling was shot.
The Solanae? I don’t think so. It would be too STO like for me if so. Connecting random things together which had no connection before.
 
So what the heck did Vadic do with her hand?

It was kinda funny that Shaw needed to show Seven what a bucket looked like. And it made no sense the Changeling used the same bucket as Odo but whatever.
 
The Solanae? I don’t think so. It would be too STO like for me if so. Connecting random things together which had no connection before.
That seems to me to almost be the guiding principle of this entire season.

Or at least with minimal connections.
(and greater connections to STO)

The rogue changelings would be something that those creatures would probably find fascinating after their study of human beings.
They would also probably find the Changelings manner of existing to be helpful in their attempts to exist in our "normal" space.

Who can forget the beautiful moment when Odo returned home to join his people...

Or when the cute baby changeling first tried to communicate with him :luvlove:

:shifty:

Them being organic, flesh and blood and fat, in their natural state, implies that they only form living things now, like The Thing, and can't form objects anymore.
 
So if we treat the stardate as we used to do (and yeah, never canon and yeah, TPTB of Lower Decks don't adhere to it) it's 2402. Which makes a lot more sense in relation to Season 2 but not to the officially given reason for Frontier Day.
 
The show brought back one of the silly elements from Voyager, the holodeck having an independent power supply. But least they tried to justify it, I don’t think Voyager did.

Probably a massive battery pack that lasts for a few hours in an emergency, but gets used up quickly with more complicated programs.
A simple bar recreation probably wouldn't be that huge a drain.
 
I mean, god damn, that was a fine episode.

Great character beats across the board. Amazing performance by Frakes. I really like Shaw as a character. He and Seven are gonna be besties. They work really well together.

I have two negatives that don’t quite make this a 10 for me. First, a little too much technobabble. And sorry I know this will upset some but second, I continue to find the arrogance of Terry Matalas using a planet named after himself tiring. I let the planet that Raffi and Worf being on so far (missed them this week BTW) go after the first episode. But having Jack reference it again SEEMS blatant. Maybe it’s a point that’s going to play off that brings these two groups together. Maybe something happened to Jack on that world that is causing him to have those visions. But outside of that? It’s a continued ego trip to me. Just my opinion. Not wanting to belabor it. Just wanted to name it.

9/10.

This will cause discussions again :D

Good. Let them whine. I’m tired of the puritanical fans who can’t accept a little profanity (or god forbid, marijuana references) in their Star Trek.
