Since Hugh is the Executive Director of the reclamation site, is Hugh trying to help rehabilitate the Romulan ex borg that we saw?

I love it. Makes the world feel more real, less sterile. Everyday people instead of stuck up starfleet types.
I know Kirk and his crew found profanity strange in Star Trek IV, but I don't think it's a contradiction. Picard is hanging out with the "lower classes" so to speak in this show, which have never been spotlighted before in the franchise really. We always saw the best of the best before.
Coming from an academic background and having worked with 2 Nobel laureates, there's a huge difference in how people speak in that environment and what I'd hear in more "rough and tumble" places even now in the real world
Is Hugh even the best person suited to this? We don't know if he ever was a normal person who was assimilated, or literally born a Borg (assimilated baby in a maturation chamber), and I always assumed the latter because I felt if he were an assimilated person it would have been mentioned before.
He's clearly a messed up guy. I guess he doesn't want to dull his pain.
Doesn't bother me. I figure its being written for a 21st century audience.
She doesn't specify. Smoking something and drinking.
Whatever's available?
She calls it Snake Leaf in the episode.
Ah, I wondered about the accents, and the "navigational emergency" bit. I didn't realize it was actually two holograms. Nice catch. So the guy runs the ships by himself with bunch of holograms around. I wonder how many there are total.
Soji called Dahj multiple times (as seen in 1x02) so both of them knew each other just fine
It's not canon. It's a game.
If anything, Star Trek universe is better for it!

It is possible but with the knowledge that you will soon be the recipient of a Supernova in the face I cant see it myself.
Even the Romulans aren't that messed up, I think there is more to it.
I liked it. I am, however, confused about some things:
1. Where was La Sirena supposed to be docked? I thought it was orbiting Earth, but as far as I know there aren't any vibrantly colored nebulae or gigantic star clusters observable from Earth's orbit.
2. Why weren't Picard and his helpers deeply confused and alarmed by the timing of Dr. Jurati's arrival? Instead they seem to immediately jump to the extremely stupid conclusion that her visit coincided with the attack for no reason (she must've been walking her dog in their neighborhood at that very moment) and that Dr. Jurati is clearly not connected to the attackers because she shot one of them and that, of course, is something villains never, ever do.
3. I know we've always had to avoid thinking about how the universal translator works and why some words and phrases are left untranslated. Having said that, I'm confused about Soji's interactions with the recovering former Borg. Why is it impressive that Soji speaks their language? The point about hearing one's mother tongue aiding in recovery doesn't make sense when the UT ensures that that's all anyone ever hears. What is the point of Soji speaking in Romulan? Doesn't the Romulan patient hear everything in Romulan anyway?
4. I understand that the present-day Raffi is extremely paranoid, but why would Raffi from 14 years ago immediately suspect the Tal Shiar? Romulans aren't exactly the cuddly teddy bears of the galaxy. I'm sure there are countless organizations from countless worlds that are more likely suspects. Why would her first thought be "This smells of Tal Shiar."

If you are willing to take that chance then that is up to you, Science can sometimes get things wrong especially when its theoretical physics.
Its not like it can be tested, plus there were too many "if's" and " as long as" for my liking.
Its one of the reasons why I bought into the diplomatic about face that the Klingons pulled over Praxis, Quo'nos was in deep shit and that was just one of the home worlds moons.
To expect that everything would just carry on as usual (except for it being really cold and the lights going out) after the home Star has collapsed into a singularity just sounds like the height of wishful thinking to me.

Its a long way away in the show but yes, it would take a considerable amount of time for the light to reach us though.
Perhaps even in the future the universal translator output is basically google translate. Soji wanted a more personal touch she wasn't sure the UT would give. Also words synching with her mouth helpsI liked it. I am, however, confused about some things:

A weird, seemingly unnatural supernova and 15 plus years later...
It certainly wouldn't be out of the ordinary for Trek to fudge with the natural sciences and make this possible.
I noticed that his face looked less lined.
