That is a bad-seat cushion looking Alex!
I'm happy for a reason to take a week off.
It's Alexander ... He shouldn't have been a 5* in the first place. I'm more miffed about the crappy flashbacks just repeats without any added benefits ... So for me this will be a hard pass ... Looks like alcohols back on the menu boys
Bride Keiko also. What about a Bride Torres and Troi and Groom Paris and Riker? The couple who got married in TOS when the Romulans first appeared?
Dress uniform would be perfect for the wedding collection. But we also need Transporter Chief O'Brien and Conn Officer O'Brien from TNG.
Hmm that's a leftover from another event I think.
That sentence should not there in this case.
Community rewards will be included at the end of the event.
The scene where Morn is way in the background telling "the funniest joke in the Galaxy" is hilarious. Of course we cannot hear a word of it. But the actor is just so animated. I believe I read somewhere that since he was out of audio range, he was told to "just tell a funny joke" and he did. The laughter of the extras apparently was organic and natural, rather than pretend.
6 years in, and nothing changes.

(Side note: the wiki might need updating.)
I also seem to recall going to 400K for the following 5*s in reruns of 2021:
Captain Morgan Bateson (July)
Dancing Uhura (May)
Commander Kira Nerys (March)
Frank Hollander (also March)
That being said, you are somewhat correct in one regard:

Very good summary. And excellent examples of the variation in what is basically the same thing being different. I know they love Flashbacks over Reruns because Flashbacks need zero re-working. But, adding that 400K reward shouldn't be major work. And would increase engagement for those that need the character, or a star for the character.
Adding a 400k reward isn't the work. Adding a new character is. It's the same work for every new character whether it's a 4*/5* in a Tuesday pack, a 4*/5* in an event, or even a 2*/3* added somehow. They apparently can't keep up with adding new characters a week(2 in event and 1 in Tuesday pack) plus the mega crew and the occasional giveaway, gauntlet, and honor hall crew. The rerun saved them designing 1 new crew. The flashback saves them designing 2 new crew. So the combination of both a rerun and a flashback between megas gives them 3 crew they don't have to design so they can design the mega crew and the other additional crew.
Well, I thought the 400K Reward was from the Event already or something like that that was existing. My bad.
The 400K reward is the existing legendary from the event. But they have to be replaced in the ranked rewards, so that means adding a new legendary for that. And it generally means tweaking a few things about the event to fit the new character as well (bonus traits etc), so that's some more work that they don't have to do with a flashback.
But, isn't the Ranked Legendary SUPPOSED to be for the next week any way? I'm totally confused.
Yes. So in the week before a rerun you get a new legendary as the ranked reward, then the old legendary as the 400K reward in the event itself. In the week before a flashback you get the old legendary, then no 400K reward in the event. The ranked reward during the event will always be next week's legendary, whether it's a rerun or a flashback.
