* While ostensibly Picard's refusal to directly aid Gowron in the CivilWar is a combination of the PrimeDirective and Starfleet just not having the manpower this soon after Wolf 359, there's actually a deeper reason that could have been used. Since Klingons believe so much in MightMakesRight, a direct intervention by Starfleet could be used by the House of Duras to [[PropagandaMachine make Gowron appear weak]] and [[NiceJobBreakingItHero backfire completely]]. However, [[OriginalPositionFallacy the exact same is true of Duras]]: proving that Lursa, B'Etor, and Toral were getting Romulan help causes their support to evaporate and allows Gowron to secure full control of the Empire within weeks.

* Tasha's history dodging the rape gangs of her home planet was a big part of her backstory. Now we learn that her final years were spent as the sex slave of a Romulan. Yikes.
