Is this "The Disease"? I'm gonna rewatch this one, and listen to The Delta Flyers podcast about it .
That's the one. Janeway gives him a talking to at the end
Mere existence does not equate responsibility. Uxbridge's personality was such that he would have done the same thing in the same situation regardless of the species of his wife.
I don't even think humans can be held responsible for any of the damage caused by the whale probe prior to entering orbit. There is no on screen evidence that the probe went to Earth because of losing contact with the whales. It's just as likely the probe was going to come anyway and only when it entered orbit did realize it could not make contact with any whales.
As for VGER, humans were responsible for the Voyager probe, but the machine aliens it encountered were responsible for the destructive capabilities upgrade
She created Linguacode, which I guess was the basis for later Universal Translators but the actual device itself existed as early as 2155 as seen in the Terra Prime two-parter and was even part of specialized Earth Starfleet communicators. Was it confirmed Hoshi invented that device?
If Hoshi wasn't the inventor of the UT who was?
You call it dumb, I might have done the same thing as Harry (not entirely sure though). I might not have been able to enjoy that hot Vulcan Mocha, or my girlfriend, or my career, knowing that I just condemned Daniel Byrd (apparently a friend of mine, too) to a life I 'should' have been living. (and perhaps later on finding out Paris never got his 2nd chance).
Then again, perhaps I would have been able to reason that away for myself with the idea that 'fate' simply changed my fate and I have no responsibility to change it back to what it 'should' have been. Not sure though, I don't have much actual experience with parallel timelines.
Come again?
Easy. Enterprise even answered this one. They had spent time on old Earth so learnt the language. I think the episode Carbon Creek
Between the expedition depicted in "Carbon Creek(ENT)" and the Vulcans who visited Earth around the 1980s as seen in Season 2 of PIC I imagine Vulcans picked up enough English to have a basic linguistic database of Earth if they needed to make a first contact encounter.
Vulcans have been observing Earth since at least the 1950's. They might have a few observers on the crew of the ship that have been to Earth before and can speak English.
They are actually just fans of Shakespeare.
Of course they are: they're in Star Trek.
Haha I thought that was the Klingons
Wherein no culture existed on Earth after 1980.
Discovery and the Kelvin movies have shown people listening to post 1980s music.
Because they were made later. Should have said no recent or contemoprary culture. You do not hear about 22nd or 23rd century playwrights or writers. No modern, to them, bands or music.
Why is Picard's favorite writer someone doing Hard Boiled Detective circa 1940. Why not a post WWIII cyberpunk HB detective?

Because 'Records from that time period are very fragmented and incomplete.' Except, of course, for the life stories of humanity's two greatest heroes: Zephram Cochrane and Buck Bokai.
And also once Humanity found out aliens are real, we spent the next five hundred years obsessing over all the shiny new alien cultures instead of continuing to develop our own.
