Sometimes, she crashes the ship!

I can't believe the manual had such a glaring misprint...

A few scattered thoughts on this:

• The NDP are leaderless, and are therefore agendaless until they can get organized again.

• They're also probably broke, and in no position to fight another election.

• While they certainly hold a good position in the new HoC, there's bound to be some introspection about how that worked out for them last time.

Wait, I thought that was Doctor Who...

Straight out of the Bajoran medical collection.

NBI. Cultural exchange is not only one of the fundamental principles upon which the United Federation of Planets was built, but also among the purest expressions of IDIC.

If said cultural exchange were to reveal the innate superiority of the Vulcan species, one could hardly be held responsible.

Indeed, it would be an invaluable contribution to existing bodies of evidence demonstrating just that.

I loved the episode overall, but that Klingon fleet should have been commanded by L'Rell herself (though that was an extremely fun way to bring back Bruce Horak without shoehorning the Ghost of Hemmer into it).

I can confirm that this episode is live on Crave, as well as Paramount+ in the relevant regions.

So, canonically speaking, "Lower Decks" is right around the time Starfleet would find out about the impending Romulan supernova and begin redeploying the fleet for the evacuation.

Maybe a little heavy for this show, but also a convenient excuse to move the Cerritos to the front lines?

I thought it got off to a promising start, but ultimately it wasn't for me.

By the end of it, it seemed to me like nothing more than a series of clumsy excuses to get the band back together, without much regard for the actual story allegedly being told. I was never really excited by the prospect of the big TNG reunion, so I wasn't a fan.

why does he get a pass while Janeway is condemned?

Firstly, the episodes are doing completely different things, and have completely different presentations. "The Enemy Within" uses the transporter malfunction to examin the duality of man, and doesn't address the ethics of the situation in any way. That's going to inform the viewers' reactions, just as bringing Janeway's decisions regarding Tuvix to the forefront of that episode informs the viewers' reactions of that.

Secondly, Tuvix himself would have agreed with Spock - at least, at first. He was initially an active participant in trying to find a way to undo the situation. Over time, though, he changed...and so did Janeway and the Voyager crew. Tuvix is given a name. He's given a job. Janeway calls him an officer and an advisor.

In short, Janeway granted Tuvix personhood...and then unilaterally stripped it away.

The explanation resides on a different Wiki page.

The origin of the significance of 47 can be traced to Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Voyager writer Joe Menosky, who attended Pomona College in California. There is a club at Pomona called The 47 Society, which claims that there exists a mathematical proof that all numbers are equal to 47, and that the number 47 occurs with greater frequency in nature than other numbers – 74 makes frequent reappearances as well, as does 23 (half of 47 rounded down).

Joe Menosky first started including references to 47 in his scripts in the fourth season of TNG, and the in-joke quickly caught on among the rest of the staff. Since then, references to 47 have been included in many episodes and movies of all the modern series.

According to Ronald D. Moore, the number of 47 references in later seasons of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine declined as the production staff tired of the joke. (AOL chat, 1997)
