That is a beautiful review thank you for sharing it
Spoilers Star Trek: Starfleet Academy 1x05 – “Series Acclimation Mil”
It would have been hilarious if instead of the Cardassian makeup they put Tawny in the original Trill makeup from “The Host.”
That would have been a good call, and a LD type gag
And it would have gone a long way to giving credence to a theory I heard before about there being two versions of the Trill species... just one more rare than the other (the ones we see in "The Host"). Similar to the Aenar and Andorians. Or the five Xindi species.
None of that happened in the episode...
Rasmussen was caught by the Enterprise D crew, and the time-pod returned because Rasmussen had set it to and was caught outside the ship when the timer went off.
A good call would have been for Tawny to be there as pure Tawny (can still hide the spots or have less spots as a half Trill) and Sam remarks "You look like Beckett Mariner" followed by Dax replying "No, I don't see it".
Cue a certain sector of fandom complaining about small galaxy syndrome, and why SAM would know who Mariner is/was.
Mariner is on the hero's wall.
I've been reminding myself the wrong story for 30 years because I blinked when I should have been listening, but shouldn't the pod still be in New Jesersy? And it's still more likely that the Picard told the DTA and they told the 26th century by memo that some one had to die, but make sure that his future clothes fit Berlinghoff perfectly.
Matt Frewer is after all, unnaturally thin.
That part of the sector would be me LOL.
My complaints are already lodged cuz they keep mix-matching 'old' aliens.
At least DSC gave us the Ba'uul and the Kelpiens and a very interesting dynamic between them.
SFA/ACA should have had completely different aliens, at least SAM is a new form.
and Genesis and Darem.
I really loved this episode. Seeing SAM's journey was pure Star Trek. Cirric and Tawny were nice surprises.
I just noticed a potential continuity error. If I'm not mistaken, in the unexplained phenomenon classroom, the display right next to the Sisko mystery is for "multi-species accelerated evolution" and features prominent imagery of... a Progenitor. Of the same Progenitors that were classified Red Directive top secret just a few years ago in Discovery.
I suppose some of the events in season 5 of Discovery, the interactions with the Breen come to mind, mandated partial declassification. I mean, it's really just the tech that needed classification and not the existence the Progenitors themselves, right?

I'd say it's safe to say that was the Discovery crew being lied to.
Because Picard never would have allowed Starfleet to bury the whole thing with the Progenitors.
How could he have stopped them?
By releasing the holographic message to the general public.
To what end? Releasing classified information tends to get you court-martialed and even incarcerated.

To the end of honoring the final wish of his mentor?
Which was I'll remind you a huge part of the episode.
No need to remind me as I've seen it many times. However, I still don't think that would be enough for Picard to release highly classified information to the general public, and it is quite frankly ridiculous to suggest that he would.
