Doctor Bashir, I Presume? (series 5)

The episode completely contradicts what we've learned about Bashir and his family from previous episodes. In 2-6 "Melora" Bashir told her that his father was a Federation diplomat. If so, wouldn't some of the high-ranked people in Starfleet know about his family life? Having a son with birth defects certainly would not have been that big a secret and Richard certainly wouldn't have gotten away with having Julian enhanced if he chose to do so. In 3-18 "Distant Voices", Julian's mind was viciously probed by a Lethean, who via this contact knows everything about him. Of course, there was no mention of the genetic enhancements here, otherwise the evil alien would have easily used the secret and its illegality against the doctor. In another episode, Julian said he was very skilled at sewing up his teddy bear at the very young age of 5, which seemed to be the first indication of his desire to be a doctor. But as "Doctor Bashir, I Presume" indicates, Julian was genetically enhanced around his seventh birthday. If he was indeed physically and mentally deficient at the age of 5, he would have been completely incapable of patching up little Kukalaka. [In 3-18 Bashir could easily hide things from the lethean if he wanted, he has shown he has the mental capcacity to do this sort of thing. Bashir could have been lying about stitching up his teddy - maybe to impress whoever he he was telling. also having a child with learning difficulties isnt something most people would go around telling everyone, even if it isnt that big a secret, so possibly not many people knew, and they changed his name afterwards and switched him to a new school, so people wouldnt necessarily realize or connect the two. we also know from Doctor Bashir, I Presume that Bashirs dad changed his jobs frequently as well, so maybe he didnt have many close friends to tell about his son. so it may seem unlikey but it is possible for this to have happened and no one found out.]

Just another one of Trek's boo-boos regarding holographic items leaving the holosuite (within Star Trek shows it is specifically stated that matter created inside the holodeck can not exist outside the holodeck, eg. ST:TNG "Ship in a Bottle"). This time, Nog enters the suite in a Ferengi-type jumpsuit. He moves into Vic's hotel suite and eventually dons a tux. But later, when Vic terminates the program to throw Nog out, Nog emerges from the holosuite still in the tux, which doesn't really exist. [Nog is suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. He is hiding from reality by becoming part of Vic Fontaine's world. Its perfectly plausible that as the PTD worsens he replicated a tux to wear in the holosuite, rather than it being a projection.][Besides, the Star Trek Technical Manual explicitly states that certain objects on the holodeck are created through replicator technology rather than purely holographic. This is why certain simple items can be taken off of the holodeck if still being held by a person. The book from Ship in a Bottle wasn't being held but was thrown out so the matter was recycled. Cyrus Redblock from The Big Goodbye was far from a simple object so he was a purely holographic object that couldn't leave the holodeck. But the paper Moriarty gave Data on Elementary, Dear Data was being held when they left the holodeck so the replicated matter was allowed to leave. Even if the tux was a construct of the holodeck (which we don't know it was) it's entirely consistent that it be actually replicated, not purely holographic.]
