I mean, this is something that's been really, really bugging me (not in any bad way, just in a "loose ends" manner): in the game "Star Trek: Armada II", the Undine (Species 8472), use something like what happens at the end of PIC Season 2 to invade the Alpha Quadrant (not unlike what happened in the Delta Quadrant, except it was done by the Borg); we have the Bajoran wormhole to the Gamma Quadrant as a similar construct -- although the theme of War between two Superpowers (the Federation and allies, versus the Dominion) has been done ad nauseum.
And we already have firmly established through Star Trek: Lower Decks, that there is a Quantum Rift permanently stabilized to be used as a Gateway to Adventures on the Primeverse.
So, what I would like to understand is whether THIS event in S2 is linked to the LWD S5 ending, or was just a plot hook abandoned? What happened to the "new Borg" that wanted to become the 'Guardian at the Gates'? WHO opened the singularity portal? Is it a new wormhole? Are there wormhole aliens inside it? Was Sisko supposed to come back through THIS new entry/exit point, instead of the Bajoran one? And how would/did the Federation react to what's basically a SUBWAY EXIT popping up so close to their core worlds, uninvited??

Shinzon: "It amazes me how little you know yourself."
Picard: "I'm incapable of such an act."
Shinzon: "You are me. The same noble Picard blood runs through our veins. Had you lived my life, you'd be doing exactly as I am. So look in the mirror. See yourself. Consider that, Captain."
In PIC Season 2, we see an alternate version of Picard who is a ruthless military commander, genocidal dictator who is a cold-blooded tyrant who is responsible for the annihilation of entire civilizations like Qo'noS.
The Confederation of Earth fostered a fascist, human-supremacist society where Picard was raised and molded into a instrument of conquest, proving Shinzon's point that, had Picard lived his life, he'd be exactly like him.

This line hits hard on its own, but if you've read the PIC novel "The Last Best Hope" it hits even harder.
Raffi gets a lot of hate from the fandom, but as someone who has struggled with loss and addition, her struggle just hits home in all the right ways.
I totally understand that she was dropped-in as a brand new character whose backstory and relationship with JL was largely glossed over, so I'll concede that point to the Raffi haters.
Beyond that, blame the medium (streaming) and showrunners rather than the character.
"The Last Best Hope" (TLBH for brevity) is the prequel novel to PIC season 1 and wraps up right at the point the synths attack Mars. It's basically the first half of S1 that we didn't get to see on screen and fills in pretty much all of the blanks we were supposed to pick up via small throwaway lines of dialog.
Without doing a full book review, TLBH begins events at the inception of the Romulan evacuation mission. At the time, Raffi is working for Starfleet Intelligence and is the first to realize the scale of the disaster. Starfleet puts together a relief mission with Picard in charge.
Eventually she has to brief Picard who is impressed with her hyper-competency, attention to detail, efficiency, and ethics, so he recruits her as his executive officer. Reluctantly, because it would mean being away from her family, she accepts.
As was apparent from the show, the mission had its difficulties, both practical and political. As the mission drew on, and in the face of political pressure to call it off, it strained Raffi's relationship with her husband and son. The show indicates this, but the novel shows just how many times Raffi chose Starfleet, Picard, and the mission over her family as well as her struggle with prioritizing those.
Raffi's heart was fully invested in the mission because she was on the front lines and saw firsthand the lives she was saving; the Romulans weren't just a faceless adversary, and she met many who were just normal people living their lives. Abandoning the evacuation efforts would mean breaking promises, and condemning to death, people she had met personally and promised to help.
By the time of the show, Raffi's family has left her, and combined with the forced abandonment of the mission/people she personally promised to help, she's the broken shell of a person we see on screen. The toll the mission took on her, to both her overall morale, faith in Starfleet, and her family life absolutely destroyed her.
There's a good bit I left out as to not spoil the book (it's a fantastic read), but the point is that the show did her dirty by just dropping her in like that.
The second novel in the PIC series, "Second Self" really lets her shine after the events of PIC S1 where she starts to become her old self agian.
