her starting a school didn't make a whole lot of sense, either. suggesting it, sure. but once sisko sent the word back to earth there would undoubtedly be throngs of actual teachers interested. the prospect would be like crack for a certain kind of idealist teacher, and given how the federation is that kind is probably in the majority.

In order of likelihood:

-Post scarcity society. Everyone wants to have the best and most bespoke flowers delivered every morning to their quarters from the ship's hydroponics chamber.

-Perfectly maintained botanical sections on a ship/station are an important social and psychological requirement to keep people from feeling like they're trapped in a can in space.**

-Federation's working on using plants as a secret weapon to infest enemy worlds as invasive vegetation.

-Every vessel/space station requires working botanical divisions for the purposes of emergency food, medications, and oxygen.

-Plants are a good canary for spotting unusual conditions on a ship with life forms without pesky sentient or animal rights issues. Grass starting to show up with signs of culmulative radiation damage?! Full system diagnostic, get us to a starbase, etc.

**(Apparently some city around here was super industrializing years ago and they had to put in 'microparks' all over the place because they felt the population was getting frustrated and crazy by the lack of nature and greenery.)

It actually makes sense because you gotta remember the Enterprise visits Strange New Worlds. You'd want Botanists on a ship of exploration to identify and catalogue what's found.


Also There's a new Picard Season 3 trailer and you're gonna be very disappointed at the end of it. Impressively disappointed at how they worked Brent Spiner into the show this time.

I bet that trailer had 100% of the clips not containing actors stating exactly how they're feeling and a complete history supporting that explanation

In attempt to drum up interest the trailer seems to have spoiled some things that could've been good reveals in the first watching.

Well a big part of Keiko's issues in DS9 are because DS9 was meant to be in orbit of Bajor and she was meant to be part of the scientific team to Bajor and working on the planet every day but instead the station moved and now she's in the rear end-middle of nowhere doing nothing with her life. I'd be pissed off too.

The nostalgia is strong but I have no faith in the Picard writers to pull it off.

Now if they had let the Lower Deck's writers do it then you would be talking.

Season Three Picard should have been Picard realizing that human cadets have lost the Starfleet Wrestling Championship every year for the last few decades.

Furious at this, Picard takes the job of groundskeeper at Starfleet Academy so he qualifies as a 'staff member' so he can coach the human wrestling team while also calling in favors from his old crew to help train the cadets.

After 5-7 episodes of finally making it to the finals, against the Vulcans, the humans lose, again.

Picard stares silently into the distance as the Vulcan logically explains the reasons his team failed in order of least to most important, topping it off with: They were only human, and from personal experience, a human can never beat a Vulcan in the art of wrestling.

As the Vulcan continues to assess the lack of human ability, Picard begins laughing, and the Vulcan feels a certain sense of... emotion. He realizing Picard is not been paying attention to him and hears a voice from the back of the arena.

"How about a rematch!"

The Vulcan turns to what Picard is looking at.

The Sisko has returned from his time training with the Prophets and his theme music begins playing.

It's the classic serial killer mind games he plays knowing that he's cleaned up all the DNA and fingerprints and evidence. Taunting them into wasting their time is for his amusement.

This episode was way before the writers got onto their "O'Brien must suffer :black101:" kick; he really didn't have much go wrong for him until he went to the Cardie slave space smelter
