Spoilers Star Trek: Starfleet Academy 1x09 – “300th Night”
It's not really a "Galaxy-Wide" type threat, it's very much localized to UFP territory specifically.
One thing I found interesting is that the Ake and Mir appear to be mostly incidental to Braka's plan. Braka would presumably have gone through plan even if Ake and Caleb hadn't joined the Academy.
I could be completely wrong about this if next week it is revealed that Anisha somehow supported Braka's plan. Though it would be a big coincidence that Caleb would decode the messages find her hours before the plan was set in motion.
Discovery Season 1, Episode 5 "Choose Your Pain"
Season 3, Episode 4 "Forget Me Not"
You're triggering a time loop bud.
The accusation was that Vulcan was an exonym. I refuted that with hard canon, and then you say unless it's an exonym.
Round, and round we go!
Is it possible that it took 300 nights to lay that mine field?
I doubt the minefield would be able to detect Discovery, if it used its displacement spore drive. The mine is probably looking for some type of gravity displacement of an object of a certain size moving past, before it is triggered.
This was a MAJOR step up from last week. And the week before. It felt more like a grown up episode, like "Come, Let's Away".
The episode seemed to move at a good pace. Vance, Ake, and Kelric were working well together to try to figure out what was going on. I like how Vance and Ake know each other well enough that he would not bother to give her an order he KNOWS she will disobey It makes a potential court martial issue moot since he didn't actually give her any orders to disobey. A better solution than creating extra drama by the 'breaking the rules' trope we have seen many times.
I'm glad we finally get to see Tatiana Maslany again. Unfortunately, I just don't see her surviving the season. Either she will sarifice herself to save Caleb or she will leave because Caleb is a Starfleet cadet and given her feelings about them she can't stay. (Also, there are no civilians on the Athena, so she wouldn't have a place there.) Given how smart she is, I expect her to be the one to disarm those omega mines.
On the other hand, I find it unlikely she isn't part of the Venari Ral. Her protestation to Caleb seemed a bit... artificial. And that Venari said she knew her, just before Anisha shot her. Kind of felt like silencing a witness before they fingered you. Maybe she will survive the season, only to be an adversary for season 2.
As I mentioned earlier in the thread, the size of Federation space is NOT correct, given how much smaller the Federation has become since the Burn. That looked like what it did in the 24th century with 150 worlds... at best, they are 60 or 70 now that Betazed and their worlds came back. This is yet another case of the effects department either just not doing their homework or is not communicating with the producers... or both. This has been a glaring problem since the pilot (not knowing their port/starboard during the pilot, the large number of easily fixed errors in Sisko's family tree, this map, etc.). I get that errors have cropped up throughout the franchise... it happens, people are human. But considering the length of time they get between episodes and seasons and how short they are now, I can't cut them the same slack as the Berman era where there are more than double the amount of episodes and only a few weeks of time to get the episodes finished. It feels like any 'care' they do is lip service and surface only.
While the stakes of omega molecules being used to totally blockade the Federation is high, I have two problems with this. First, is it possible for a season of live action of this era to NOT have some galactic situation? It gets tiresome. (This was the same problem DOCTOR WHO suffered during many of its seasons in the 21st century.) When the stakes are nothing but everything that often, it ends up meaning nothing at all. Second, DISCO kind of already let us all know the Federation is fine with their epilogue in their finale. This guts any real tension for those who have seen DISCO.
I have read people say that what happened here makes the Federation and Starfleet look stupid. I agree, to a point. While it bothers me that Starfleet didn't see this coming, it IS consistent with Federation arrogance and feeling of superiority that we have seen throughout the franchise. TNG's "Q Who" really focused on this, with Picard being the stand-in for the Federation... it's one of the reasons why that episode was so excellent. Braka illustrated that point during his conversation in "Come, Let's Away", and he was right. The fact that this plan worked proves it. Also, the fact Starfleet even HAS so many omega molecules is the height of hubris.
Which brings me to Braka. Despite him not appearing here, his presence is felt. It's interesting that he didn't just use it on Federation worlds, only mined Federation space so they are kept in. I'm seeing shades of Dukat here, actually. Braka is making sure that his opponent KNOWS he won by keeping them all alive and contained in their space... essentially, "forcing them to acknowledge your greatness", as Dukat said to Weyoun in "SACRIFICE OF ANGELS". In some ways, that's actually worse than outright killing your opponent.
(Speaking of DS9, as a Niner for life, I was very happy to see the station still showing up on the map and was still by the wormhole. But as someone who is also trying to be impartial about the episode, this also doesn't make sense... that would mean the station is about 850 years old. I just don't see that being true, as much as I'd like to believe it. Considering the graphic incorrectly showed the size of Federation space, it was more about trying to service fans who are just looking for easter eggs than actually being about making sense.)
I have to say, Sam REALLY screwed Genesis over in this one. She basically kidnapped her by locking the shuttle door on her. Same with Darem. (Speaking of Darem, I was hoping that the 'glitter barf' was just a weird perceptual thing of Sam during episode 5... unfortunately, he really DOES barf glitter. Frankly, that is just beyond stupid.)
I liked that the bonding ceremony was brought back from TNG's "The Bonding". It was nice that everyone took part in it, with the obvious exception of Caleb. I do think he was being a jerk about not going through with it, but only because he was there for most of it and backed out. It would have been better if he simply said no before it started. I want to say that seeing them all do this felt earned, but I can't honestly do that because we really didn't get a sense of family and closeness that this ritual is supposed to show. I blame this mostly on the short length of seasons more than anything else. It robs us of more character focused episodes and scenes that would give us a better sense that this group really does have that bond.
I did like many of the character beats in this episode. Caleb reuniting with his mom. Sam was better here than most of her other episodes. (In fact, I'm glad she said what she did to Caleb about her old self and how annoying she was. Good reflection and self-awareness there.) I like this version of her much more.
Frakes directing is never a bad decision. He was able to get some pretty good performances and he kept the pace going at a good speed. It didn't feel like the episode dragged on like several others have. Overall, I will give this a 7.25, which rounds down to a 7 on this site.

Maslany did not disappoint me. I love it that she's part of Trek, now.
It's 300 days since the first episode. The minefield was presumably laid sometime after the Omega-47 was stolen in episode 6.
Based on a timeline from tenmei, episode 6 was somewhere around 130-200 days prior to this episode.
Season 4 of Lower Decks was Nick Locarno with a Genesis Device, not a galaxy reaching threat.
DS9 is where the Emissary lived, the Bajorans probably preserved it as a historical site.
Uh huh.
It's also where Gul Dukat lived.
Actually, do we know if Ben (years later) slept in the same state room as Dukat?
That's what I thought until the ridiculous ENT episode depicted "Romulan" as an alien phonetic string. I dread the day a future TV writer pulls the same nonsense trope with "Vulcan".
Which is silly. It's like they're ashamed of having encountered Apollo in space.
That Talaxian Fur Fly got a lot of mention this year. Could it be the key to solving this crisis? 
I do forget that episode, but was Braka talking about the arrogance of the federation before the burn?
Because the federation does not seem arrogant during their rebuilding process. Even with that example you gave which I half agree with. The federation did not just ignore what was going on at their boarders', they sent plenty of ships to the edges to investigate something their sensors detected.
Another 9 this week.
Tatiana Maslany was wonderful this week.
