Apparently you’re not supposed to go to warp in a star system which is why it takes so long - they make a big deal of it in the episode where Changeling-Bashir almost blows up Bajor’s sun. I don’t remember that coming up before DS9 though.

I haven't checked this thread since the chatbot became popular but it is creating new lore. I think I was too intentionally vague and it got confused.

It was mentioned in ST:TMP that they would take the unusual step of going to warp inside the solar system to gain more time to intercept the energy cloud.

I thought the reason the trip to Bajor takes different amounts of times is because the wormhole is stationary relative to the star, while the planet continues on it's orbit.

The reason Jake doesn't have a big arc or much depth is because, as I understand it, the writers always primarily intended for him to be an extension of Sisko. He doesn't really exist to go off and do his own thing, he exists to create conflict and drama for his dad.

Even if it's not stationary relative to the star, it's at a different distance than Bajor (I guess in the Bajoran equivalent of the Asteroid Belt) so basic orbital mechanics would result in changing distances between the two

Jake had a lot of character driven episodes. Really good ones! The one where he goes to the front lines with Bashir is loving top tier and I prefer it to The Visitor because thats just Tony Todd not Ciroc.

And that's her dad's name, so she must have got the accent from him.

I think it's just as, if not more likely that Lwaxana made her husband take her name. It took me almost as long to realize Deanna just drops the accent for the movies as it did that she wore dark contact lenses for the entire show's run.

There was a interview that I can't find where Marina goes into detail about Troi's accent. IIRC, she tried three accents, the Greek one, an American accent and her regular accent. Either Gene or Berman insisted on the Greek accent. The backstory she was told initially is that her accent was from Betazed. Then when Lwaxanna showed up, she asked about the accent again and she was told uh, Troi picked it up from her father. Then when her father showed up in one episode and had an American accent, Marina asked about the accent again and they were like "Look Troi picked up her accent in boarding school okay?!". You can see why she starts toning it down and start using her regular accent as time goes on.

Yeah it was especially weird for young me, as Marina is from the same area of London as I am, so watching TNG as a kid I found it really strange that this Deanna Troi character who spoke in an exotic and distinctive alien accent, slowly started for some reason to speak more and more like me over the course of the series.

Marina Sirtis was in an episode of the Jeremy Brett Sherlock Holmes series performing entirely in Italian. (This was an English production, this clip is just all the Italian characters’ scenes edited together). https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vj6tIXHybiw&pp=ygUdbWFyaW5hIHNpcnRpcyBzaGVybG9jayBob2xtZXM%3D

Even if you're only paraphrasing, it feels like quite the coincidence.
