I always headcanoned that Rom was very quickly fired after DS9…

As Grand Nagus, I don't think there's anyone higher up to fire him. The position is a weird cross of king, CEO, and Pope. Only death or resignation seems to be able to oust a Grand Nagus.

I really want this line in Lower Decks. It would fit right in.

Sometimes you just decide to deal with that. I'm lactose intolerant, but I'll be dead in the ground before I stop eating cheese or ice cream. I just don't eat it frequently enough to be a continuous problem.

His mom mentions learning to make Klingon food for him, particularly blood pie. He was probably eating a mix of human and klingon stuff on the Enterprise. Of course, since a good amount of klingon food is served live, his options for good klingon food from the replicator were limited.

I'm still just impressed his hips and spine could actually do that.

Or that pig that turned inside out and exploded.

There are hardly any non-human admirals at all though, so it's not a significant statistic.

Yep. Turns out it's cheaper to make cyborg costumes than giant insect puppets.

It doesn't come up very often. Their telepathy is very weak and they usually can't do much without physical contact.

Or she could be pretty typical in regards to emotional intensity but with unusually strong telepathy.

The peptalk that Mariner gave T’Lyn was absolutely fantastic. There were so many good moments in this episode, but that is probably my favorite.

"Then I suppose, by the transitive property, that I, too, am 'as Vulcan as a motherfucker.'"

I never understood people that name their kids that way. Though I understand that the one that got eaten by a lava monster a few weeks ago changed his name to Guy.

And somehow managed to be the first person in Starfleet history to get in trouble for it. Nobody else on that ship or on any ship ever got in trouble for boinking aliens.

Captain Freeman referenced it destroying the Orion ship in the intro, so it's making its way toward the plot. Or the Cerritos is making its way to the plot.

Tendi is a medical officer; she probably has it covered.

I feel like the Klingon response to their gods coming back would be something along the lines of, "How many times do we have to teach you this lesson, old man?"

I think they were banking on Vader hating the planet so much he'd never willingly return and then later training Luke in the hopes that Vader may hesitate to kill his own kids, because Vader hesitating to kill someone is basically the only way anyone has a hope of beating him.

Vader only starts sensing Luke after he gets some training and goes from being merely Force sensitive to a proper Force adept. Trained adepts are consistently shown in the franchise to be easier to sense than untrained sensitives, like Leia.

Vader only knows Luke is his son after being told his name. He only finds out Luke has a sister after ripping the knowledge from his mind, and it's unclear if he got her name.

All Picards? What about Picards by marriage, because as I get older Marie Picard starts looking better.

They floated it a little with Rutherford in the first episode or two with his Vulcan implant randomly making him act Vulcan, but it was dropped almost immediately.
