That would actually explain some things

Anakin was able to build this in a cave! With a box of scraps!

This applies to the US and western Europe. There are places in the world where hitmen can be hired by normal people, but they are closer to homeless drug addicts than the sort of professional you are probably envisioning.

Is nobody going to ask why Ted Cruz is wearing a yellow wig?

Not at all. Vic was running on Quark’s holosuites. They were not owned, serviced or built by the Federation.

Yea, cause the Binars fucked with in season 1 specifically to give it the ability to make sapient AIs. Apparently nobody ever did a factory reset after that.

Oh thank God. I thought they were bragging about using Twitter.

Link just doesnt realize he is the girlfriend now.

Well it looks like one of the SU-57s is already down, so the odds are looking better for Cessna!

No even a former colleague, Sisko was the guy he used to bully in school.

Well Bones didn’t appear in the pilot or first episode of TOS, so I dont think well get more than a cameo if he shows up at all.

It was vaguely implied several times throughout the series that the ships computer, or at least the holodecks, were more alive than anyone knew/acknowledged. Lots of strange stuff happened in there. I always assumed it had something to do with the modifications made by the Binars.

Well she was obviously making an excuse to be there and everyone in the room knew it. Id guess the security clearance was something like manually verifying his identity and registering him with the computer as part of the command staff. This would normally be the sort of boring paperwork the computer or a lower level security person does off screen, but she wanted an excuse to be there and the clearance was technically something she was responsible for.

Which crimes are those?

It sounds like the issue was that the two primary female characters in TNG were the doctor and the counselor. Whenever the two of them talked professionally it was probably going to be about a patient, and there was a good chance the patient would be male. For VOY, when the captain and chief engineer communicate professionally it would usually be about a piece of machinery, which would of course not be male.

Targeting civilians is a war crime, but targeting infrastructure and killing civilians in the process is not.

Well obviously it didnt work and Spock was not optimistic about his odds. Also, Spock is the guy who evenually cracks the riddle of time travel, so he may have been working off some early half formed theories of temporal physics.

Ok, so here’s an alternate theory: Horonium is actually tritanium (or maybe duranium) that has been saturated with temporal radiation. As for why they mentioned the NX class being built with it, perhaps the Enterprise’s temporal adventures were classified. Starfleet told everyone that all the ships were made with honorarium to cover up the truth.

For one, the Temporal Cold War was supposed to be over by that point, and time travel would not become a common thing until Spock discovers time warp. We know there was a brief conflict with the Romulans at some point around this time. However, the interesting development in that war was supposed to be cloaking devices, not temporal weapons. Besides, Starfleet should have been upgrading to proper shields by then, not retrofitting hull plating. And I’m pretty sure the shade of grey comment was a joke. We know that even by the TNG era, they don’t pay much attention to color-matching hull plates.

I like where you are going with this, except for a few problems. The fact that nobody believed in time travel until well after the Enterprise was built was a huge plot point, so it definitely was not intentional. On top of that, the Enterprise traveled through time several times, through both anomalies and deliberate transport, so the material certainly did not protect from that sort of temporal effect. Also, at one point, they pick up a time ship with a temporal radiation leak that was readily detected through the hull, meaning it’s not even an effective shield.
