  • Episode Analysis | Star Trek: Lower Decks | 5x04 "A Farewell to Farms"

    Jump

  • I heard Trek Central suggest this, but I'm not so sure.

    If we're looking at a Prime Directive violation, we're looking at the interference with the social development part, or on a more granular level, interfering with the internal affairs of a civilization.

    Sure, Bragh was a high ranking Klingon being part of the Oversight Council, but the death of Bragh was between Ma'ah and Bragh. Boims and Mariner participated in the Rite of J'ethurgh, but that wasn't interfering in Klingon affairs, no more than Picard participating as Worf's cha'DIch was. Technically, Ma'ah accepted them as part of his quv beq, so they were invited in.

    And at the end, as far as Boims and Mariner is concerned, the Rite was over and completed - Bragh being a sore loser and the subsequent fight had nothing to do with them and they didn't participate in it - only witnessed it. Nor was the fight a foreseeable consequence of Mariner trying to get Ma'ah reinstated so she could get a Klingon Captain to assist in her mission, and especially not Bragh's death, which was only because he literally stabbed Ma'ah in the back after yielding (by granting Ma'ah his captaincy back).

    So I really don't see the problem here. At worst they were bystanders to the death.

  • A closer look at the uniform shows it isn't the TNG uniform or any one we've seen previously. It has the TNG combadge, but there are highlights on the shoulders and cuffs at the end of the sleeves.

  • I know. I was originally going to say she was a Parliament-class but then thought better of it because Manitoba isn't a city, so softened it to "might be".

  • Why was the genetic engineering research at Darwin Station in TNG 2x07 "Unnatural Selection" legal?

    Jump

  • This is one of those times, like the Klingons joining the Federation in TNG: "Samaritan Snare", where the only explanation that makes sense is the Doylist one - that the writers didn't know about the ban because it wouldn't be established in lore until DS9.

    The only Watsonian explanation I can come up with is that the Federation for whatever reason made an exception in this case. Or perhaps Darwin went beyond its remit by “creating” the children and despite that Picard and Pulaski chose to focus on the immediate problem of the aging disease and to deal with the illegalities later.

    But the Doylist one is much simpler.
