General Trek Questions and Observations

What do you think would have happened to Admiral Norah Satie after Picard unmasked her? Would there have been charges against her? Would she have been forced to undergo some treatment?

Didn't they say that came out of retirement? I guess they just re-retired her... with a note that she's a nutcase and not to trust her with anything sensitive in the future.
 
it's been a while since I saw the episode, but didn't she falsely claim that she had evidence of sabotage onboard the Ent-D and used that to persecute and attempt to denounce Picard?

Oh, come on! Cops do that all the time and they're never prosecuted for that. If there was enough there to even stop her, the Admiral wouldn't even have bothered to show up.
 
Satie had a wonderful retirement after having been put out to pasture at the Federation funny farm. She was surrounded by her family every afternoon during visiting hours.
 
Satie was already retired and was just there as some kind of consultant. I'm guessing they just quietly shuffled her back to wherever, and made sure to never bring her back to "assist" with any special investigations again, ever. And if she tried contacting her old pals at Starfleet Command about doing more work for them or having them do any favors for her, they would have just ignored her calls. She wasn't on active duty, so it's not like they could make her go in for medical and psych exams or treatment to continue her already non-existent job after her foul-up in "The Drumhead."

She probably just ended up
being "persona non grata" in Starfleet's eyes, much like Jean-Luc Picard in the first season of Star Trek: Picard.

I wonder how common it is for real government agencies to bring back retired senior personnel to work on special inquiries. It kind of reminds me of John Le Carre's novel Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, in which a former intelligence official living in forced retirement is quietly called back to lead a secret investigation.

This.

Calling anything that she's done "criminal" is just overacting the same way she did. The neverending war...

Let's inquisite (sic) the inquisitors!!!:rolleyes:
