    are Betazoids really so vain that the shift of Starfleet HQ is enough to mitigate all their concerns?

    I think this is actually a really big deal, especially since the Betazoids’ concerns were chiefly about security, and the Federation is hardly going to let their seat of government fall.

    But “the Federation is too Earth-centric” is a concept that’s been played with since…at least the PIC era, so I thought this was pretty significant.

      I was actually kind of disappointed going into this show that SFA seemed to be going back to an Earth centric model for the Federation, so this development is very positive for me.

      True, it shows real commitment. Still, considering that their original demand was “We want to have the right to reject any new federation member”, this seems a bit insignificant. It’s more of a gesture than anything, at least to me.

        I think their initial demands were ludicrous because the president had no real intention of rejoining the Federation - it was all theatre.

          But then why come in the first place? Only to return to Betazed to say “the Federation is still the same and doesn’t want us!” After failed negotiations?
