The ghost thing is one thing from that episode, but that there is this space colony that has patterned itself after Scotland and "POW, you're just going to have to accept that" has never set right with me. It's right up there with an entire space colon that patterned itself after native American Pueblo peoples that rather than hop on over to another planet are legit cool with being under Cardassian rule, because "SPIRITS!" Like dude, y'all got here on spaceships not flying eagle ghost.

Which all of that seems a bit a bit odd considering they're like "we know what's happened in the past, you white people are always making us move!!" Because is feels like they're forgetting that part of the past that goes something like "US Congress promised us they'd leave us alone!"

Also what are the odds that your people's mortal enemy "Picard" from 600 years ago, has his great-great-great-great........grandson shows up on your remote ass planet in the middle of nowhere?
