Yeah, it looked directly connected - if you squint, you'd probably be able to work out where on the bridge the door is.

They certainly know how to hang tough.

Funnily enough, that episode provides supporting evidence:

BASHIR: Starfleet Medical won't see it that way. DNA resequencing for any reason other than repairing serious birth defects is illegal. Any genetically enhanced human being is barred from serving in Starfleet or practising medicine.

One has to conclude that the procedure Bashir underwent is considered an enhancement, not a "repair" - like they tried to overcome his undefined disability through brute force, rather than address the underlying cause.

This is barely a counterpoint (it arguably isn't one at all), but I feel obliged to point out that the BS of the past year was conducted by the old ownership.

Here comes the new boss, same as the old boss...?

This Bombers fan isn't mad about seeing Calgary (barely) lose one...

Not equipped to handle sexual assault cases. This is a very well-documented issue.

I'm not certain about the retro-style logo on the wall (I suspect the blockier lettering on the tote bag represents the actual series logo), but might this be the first look at (a version of) the series uniform?

A blonde, female model at San Diego Comic-Con. She is wearing a red tunic with black striping along the top of the shoulders. On her chest is a Starfleet Academy symbol, featuring a Discovery-style split delta with a "swoosh" around it, surrounded by two broken concentric circles, which are futher surrounded by a U-shape that is open at the bottom. Her pants are black, with two red stripes running down the side of her leg.

This has unfortunately been the case in sexual assault cases since...forever, really.

There are almost never any witnesses, human memory is fallible, alcohol is sometimes a factor...the justice system is not well-equipped to handle it.

Good - the original case seemed pretty straightforward.

I think the general policy is that genetic augmentation to grant superpowers is bad, while genetic treatment of disease or other medical conditions is generally okay.

They tiptoed right up to the line without outright stating it.

I don't really have a problem with the resolution...it just seemed to have been unplanned and bolted on, and was contradictory to the beginning of the season.
