Do you think 24th Century conspiracy theorists would have a field day with the fact that Dexter Remmick was investigating the Enterprise crew and then a few months later he was killed by said crew?
Stuff that make you wonder but not own thread worthy

- Start date
Now that actually sounds awesome. That's the kind of arc welding that I love.
Most people who were aware of the investigation would probably know why. Might even see Remmick's remains. A scorched, phaser-blasted shell of an alien is hard evidence to refute.
Watching "Allegiance" and it's wild thinking about fake-Picard's actions here compared to real-Picard's actions in the past scenes of "All Good Things..." Here he wants them to fly into a dangerous pulsar and they all say no. There he wants to fly into a dangerous anomaly and they say yes.
Am I remembering correctly if I say that in AGT the ship would be at risk but it 'Allegiance' no one would survive the radiation of the pulsar?
Yes. The pulsar was a guaranteed death if they moved closer.
Probably not, but I can imagine all the interference that proved disastrous in Federation history that led to the creation and continued enforcement of the Prime Directive and how that led to "Homeward" planet getting screwed. I blame John Gill and Ron Tracey.
At least Janeway, when enforcing a similar policy in "Time and Again", didn't try to pretty up the simple and ugly nature of what she was enforcing, or justify it (in our eyes or Tom's). She just said: "you're not to warn these people, that's an order."
Also in "Homeward", Counselor Troi defended letting the planet die by saying that the Prime Directive was intended to ensure non-interference. That's the means; the end is what Nikolai said: allowing a culture to grow and evolve naturally. Annihilation is not the same thing as growth and evolution.

I wonder if there was a real Cadet Mitena Haro out there somewhere...
My other thoughts on "Homeward" is that there wasn't anything anyone could do about the planet, that they just got there and they had 38 hours until the disaster was finished and Picard's probably under orders not to rescue people, which stems from people violating the Prime Directive in the past.
I could go either way. In like my dumb hypothetical a sequel to "Allegiance" with everyone back together I could see them bringing back the character but if people say she was just made up that would be fine too.
Would that really stop the Picard we know? I could totally see him emptying the cargo bays and quite a few other rooms as well, and beaming up all the Boraalans the life support system can provide for. And once they're settled on their new home, if he gets court martialed, so be it. And of course he doesn't, because the tribunal realizes that Picard's actions embodied the Federation's finest virtues, yadda yadda yadda.
It's not just breathing, Data moves his lips and tounge as he speaks. I don't think Data is "faking" talking while the speech sounds are coming from a internal speaker, instead I think that Data is employing moving air and mouth movement to talk.
As Bashir pointed out in the good part of "Birthright", Data's creator wanted him to appear human. Hence, his ability to breathe, his functioning circulatory system, and even his ability to grow hair.
Sovak looks like the Ferengi equivalent of a Reagan mask.
^ It's weird, seeing Max Grodenchik playing any Ferengi other than Rom! 
Me, I wonder how the kid from "Hero Worship" turned out. Hell, we don't even know his last name! Did he join Starfleet like his idol Data?
Also the kids from "Disaster", same question.

Yet he did it twice before being cast as Rom.
He, Barash, and Jeremy Aster were adopted by Mirasta Yale and relocated to Earth.

Twice? I only remember one (Sovak).
If you're thinking of the pit boss from "Emissary", that IS Rom.
Fun fact, though: Max Grodenchik almost considered playing major league baseball! He had a hell of a time playing it badly (in "Take Me Out to the Holosuite") because he was so GOOD at it IRL.
He was also in "The Perfect Mate" as one of the two Ferengi.
