We kept hearing there'd be a Denise Crosby and Tasha-related element to this season. Sela is still a possibility. If Sela survived the destruction of Romulus she may be out for revenge on Picard a'la Nero and Spock Prime.

Might be a bit of small universe syndrome, but is it possible that Admiral Jarok could be retconned into Tasha's romulan "husband"?

So, how can a private owned bounty hunter ship is way-way more powerful than one of Federation most sophisticated Starship?

This took me out of the episode. The Federation's newest, sleekest starship is just an "exploration vessel" and is no match for some rogue bounty hunter ship? Please! In TOS, the Enterprise was an "exploration vessel", yet the point was made clear that it could vaporize the entire surface of a planet with its phasers.
 
The Enterprise was also a "starship, a very special type of space ship." There are only "12 like her in the fleet."

Starfleet in the 25th century has moved away from the Swiss Army Knife approach for starships, and far more specialized, with the Inquiry a combat vessel and the California class a support vessel and the Neo-Constitution and explorer class. And it fits with the less militaristic approach of Starfleet post Dominion War.

Terry said there would be a nod to Tasha, nothing more.
 
I think Matalas has been clear she's only one of three antagonists this season. Presumably the big bad actually threatening Starfleet has yet to be revealed.
Well she's going to be around long enough that Terry thinks the audience will empathize with whatever her backstory is. She isn't a one note villain.

I don't think the Shrike is "just a bounty hunter ship" any more than I think Vadic is "just a bounty hunter". There is far, far more a play here than merely collecting bounties.
Yeah, she's clearly lying.
 
They also said last season that Wesley wasn't appearing!

If she does turn up in some form or aniother, they're not going to spoil the suprise.
 
There were baseball cards up for auction in the 24th century. No reason to think there is only one baseball.

Sisko's baseball wasn't even an authentic artifact, it was a gift manifested by an alien. It's probably still valuable to a collector as a bit of Sisko-specific memorabilia, but it'd be more likely to be in a Bajoran reliquary than a pile of random old Earth crap.
 
Vadic was a total cartoon villain. Awful.

I like that Picard actually took charge a few times.

Not much good to say about this episode. I wish we could get a more mature version of Star Trek.
 
Has the Klingon theme been heard in any of the nu-Trek shows, or was this the first time since the TNG movies?

All of Recent trek, minus Lower Decks and Prodigy, has been mature, and even those two shows have had some mature stories.

I believe there's more than meets the eye with her.

Well Kira kept it on her desk in Lower Decks.

My memory fails me. Is the baseball that was manifested by the Buck Bokai illusion the same baseball that the crew signed in Take Me Out to the Holosuite, or was that a different baseball?

I don't recall, but there were no signatures on it in the series finale. but that could be a continuity error.

Vadic somehow goes from being just a bounty hunter in this episode to talking about the "ashes of the Federation" in the trailers. So either things really escalate with the Titan or she already has hidden motives far beyond bounty hunting.

A single real pro baseball game can go through dozens of balls, so it was probably a newly-replicated one provided by the holosuite during the match that the team signed as a memento, and one of several they played with.
