In "Family", when René says he married twice after the story about him traveling with sisters, is the joke that he married one sister, got divorced, and married the other sister?

Star Trek: René will explore the story of how he didn’t actually die and the fire was a ruse because he was wanted by a secret Romulan organization that is so secret even the super secret one from Star Trek: Picard doesn’t know about it

For some reason that reminds me that I was really drunk the first time I watched BSG 2004 and I thought that early episode where they get attacked every 30 minutes or whatever was what the series was going to be and I was crushed when it wasn't. I was really dumb and drunk.

Also, I'm a Baltar apologist.

The runabouts doubled as them, but other than that there were some fighters shown during the massive dominion battle scenes

It felt like fighters were a desperate times desperate measures type thing, unlike what Picard would do with fighters which would just be “every ship has a bunch of fighters. That’s just normal”

Really hope there was an inquiry into whatever admiral or captain ordered those pea shooters to intercept the ship that had just wiped out the entire fleet. That’s “denethor sending faramir” levels of loving psychotic.

Fighters were always "in universe" but never really shown until "Best of Both Worlds" and DS9.
"Fighters" are fighting vehicles and therefore antithetical to Federation philosophy but that won't stop the Feds from having them in their back pocket.

I read that Ishara was based on Vasquez from Aliens but she's really got more of a Sarah Conner vibe.

The "fighters" that were used in DS9 were those light patrol ships that the Maquis used a lot. They got slaughtered whenever they showed up in fleet battles.

lighter platforms kinda make sense if you can put a couple torpedoes on each of them. they'd get shredded but they would probably get some kills. the Enterprise is clearly a super-heavy battleship, one with good survivability too. This does make more sense for the Federation from the perspective of doctrine and ideology, definitely.

They wanted the fleet scenes to be more layered, so they reused a model they had. I don't think there's any more to it.

well they should have been full of fighters during the war. modify the shuttles or something. they were constantly outnumbered. hell remote control them and smash them into the enemy. keep moving forward. shoot them in the belly. when you put your hand in a puddle of goo, and it turns out to be odo...

Was about to make this comment. Like the Home of the Federation’s entire defense are 3 piddly fighters which I have to think made the Borg go “Why are we assimilating these useless biologics?” Like Shinzon heading to Earth and those three fighters come out. Not like a network of space stations or the moon turning around and firing gently caress off lasers and torpedos or anything half built put together from the Utopia Planitia yards on Mars intercepting.
