Seems like there was reporting about a decade ago that the claimant was successful in her plagiarism lawsuit when she really wasn't.

Abruptly pushing the stick forward
It wasn't in cruise. It was in a -1G manoeuvre as part of stall recovery, and recovered the systems within 4s. Definitely not a normal flight.
The one they stole? Edit: I was recalling incorrect reporting from a decade past. More detail in the following thread.

Never getting therapy after her kid died didn't help her any.

The one thing about Star Trek that I've always had to sort of ignore in order to enjoy it is that they're supposed to be living in a post-scarcity society where nobody uses money, but they still have people that do the absolute shit miserable jobs that nobody wants to do today.
Voyager touched on this when they had sentient holograms in perpetual servitude cleaning, Picard touched on it in the creation of "Freecloud" and DS9 touched on it with all the ferengi stuff...
But it's never explained why people like Joseph Sisco are running restaurants for free, why Picard 'owns' Chateau Picard, etc...
Nor is it explained why when Nog goes to Disco's restaurant he is using his transporter credits...free?
There's a lot in-universe that is unexplained and comes down to naive idealism, but that doesn't mean that we as a society can't strive towards it.

I love the ones that won't hold a pencil under them.
