Spoilers Star Trek: Starfleet Academy and the Novels

[Oddish]

No Admiral Uhura either, but I guess that was just a First Splinter thing, anyway. But at least she made captain; Paris, Nog and Bashir stuck as lieutenants just seems wrong. But at least @Oddish will be happy with Admiral Kim!

You better frickin' believe it!

I lost my "dancing Oddish" meme, but if I could find it, I would be pasting it everywhere!

Like the Klingon cadet who's interested in studying medicine -- does that suggest that 32nd-century Klingon culture has become more peaceful, as I've often hoped it would have (rather than just rehashing the same old Klingon stuff yet again)?

Well we can infer that the Klingon Empire fell centuries ago, they are actual Federation members by the 26th century and Ezri did talk about the Klingon Empire being on a decline.

And the character who's a Klingon-Jem'Hadar hybrid -- how the heck did that happen? (In general terms, I mean...)

Well when a daddy Jem'Hadar and a mummy Klingon love each other very much, 800 years of genetic engineering by an extremely advanced civilisation allows them to bonk.

I'm tempted to assume this is another case of uncritical over-reliance on Memory Alpha, but while that seems to have been the case with Pike getting a Cardassian award on his record...

What are you alluding to here?

IIRC, when we see Pike's file in the Disco S2 premiere, one of his commendations listed was the Cadassian Legate's Medal of Valor or something like that.

Yep. And they reused the text of that graphic in SWN for Pike and Una's records, so she's got one, too.

Which is why it's unwise to take blink-and-you-miss-it screen graphics as firm canon rather than just lorem ipsum.

True. At least in the olden days Alderaan and Kryptonite were on illegible graphics as were the ship as well as some ship names that were just in jokes, same with dedication plaques. It does boggle the mind why people running memory alpha consider them canon.
