Narek’s acting was awful in this episode, plus the Raffi scenes were weirdly done.

Worse attacks? Hardly. The Synth attack took out the Utopia Planitia orbital shipyards and any ships that were there, the shipyards' planetary facilities, and the Utopia Planitia colony which I imagine had a civilian population of thousands if not millions. Fourteen years later Mars itself is still uninhabitable. Now let's compare that to the attacks you mentioned. The Breen decimated Starfleet Command and San Francisco, though I got the impression the death toll was relatively small. Also, everything was rebuilt within six months or so, based on Voyager. In TBOBW the Borg destroyed thirty-nine Starfleet starships and three pods from the Mars Perimeter Defense. A terrible blow to be sure, but a nosebleed compared to what the Synths did to Mars. In First Contact we don't get full totals on Starfleet's losses, but I doubt it was much worse than TBOBW. The Xindi attack did result in a majority of civilian casualties, but likely significantly less than were lost on Mars, and Starfleet didn't suffer any losses to ships or facilities in the Xindi attack. So, no, the attacks committed by the Borg, Breen and Xindi are not far worse than what the Synths did. Hell, even the combined damage from those attacks is probably still less than the Synth attack.
7 million were lost in the Xindi attack. A little over 92,000 were lost in the Synth attack on Mars.
Agreed that the Synth attack caused more environmental damage than the Xindi attack on Florida and the Caribbean but even 14 years later the death toll on Mars still seems to stand at about 92,000. Federation colonists were either safely evacuated or managed to escape into safe biodomes and bases to wait for help or ride out the aftermath.

Love the Blues Bros. I could tell ya stories.
Off topic: I'd just like to say that I'm 60 years old and smoked for most of my adult life. I haven't had a cigarette in almost 2-1/2 years. I think about it every day, but I don't do it.
To any smokers here: if you want to quit, you can do it. One minute at a time. It gets easier every day.
Percentage of population.
3 million people living on Mars.
15 billion living on Earth.

Quoting yourself is a sin against teh interwebz.
At least cars don't have cigarette lighters to remind you any more.
I can see Commodore Oh, sitting in her office with the Blue Brothers playing on a loop. She probably has the DVD and a spare player packed for when she has to escape back to Romulus.
Real smokers make sure that there are lighters or matches on hand at all times.At least cars don't have cigarette lighters to remind you any more.
What's with Commodore Oh wearing sunglasses when she went to question Dr. Jurati? Why would a Vulcan need sunglasses on Earth? Vulcan has much more intense sunlight, as evidenced by Spock's third eyelid that protected him from light that would have fried the retinas of a human.
I doubt it. Just shorthand for "she's a bad guy, in case you forgot."
What was with Geordie laForge wearing that visor of his?
The ears, the ears. The ears tell you that she's the bad guy. The ears are flying out there in the wind like Dumbo ready to take flight. (But Dumbo is not a bad guy, just sayin')
And the shades. Definite sign of a bad guy.
But I'm impressed that finally Trek has embraced the shades. I love the shades. I have many different pairs of shades. RDJ loves the shades, but that's a whole 'nother topic.
Anyway, there are characters that have yet to be explored. It's way too soon to pass judgment on this show.
Looking forward to next Thursday.

Trek has always been more subtle about such things, not beating you over the head with it. At least before the painfully unfunny "double dumbass on you" or Data being "fully functional." We never saw Kirk actually in bed with anyone. There's a difference between addressing today's situations and adopting the mannerisms and lingo of today, which will probably be dated within 10-20 years. Good thing TNG never used "radical" the way this show used "pro tip." TOS never had political intrigue within Starfleet and TNG avoided it for the most part, with the notable exception of "Chain of Command," "The Pegasus" and "Conspiracy," although the last didn't really count because that was alien parasites, not actual Starfleet officers.
It's funny and incongruous hearing a Romulan speaking in any Earth accent, unless they were born and bred there.....
6 years with me - started at 11
QUIT IT !!
so true - bic.s also serve as bottle openersReal smokers make sure that there are lighters or matches on hand at all times.
What's with your total non sequitur? No human character ever wore sunglasses on Trek. A Vulcan would need them even less.
Or maybe she's afraid Dr. Jurati would neuralyze her.
