1253 olfactory receptor genes. Which is a pretty meaningless number, since we don't really know how many genes are directly related to olfactory senses in humans.
If the line had been about actual olfactory receptors, that number would be ridiculously low. Humans have around 6 million receptors, while dogs have up to 300 million.
EDIT: With some googling, apparently we do know how many olfactory genes humans have - apparently it's in the mid-hundreds. Which would make the Beta Annari's senses only maybe 3-4 times more discerning than our own.
So I really like the Picard stuff, but I shut off when we go to the Bor(in)g Cube. And it seems the stuff I like is headed to the stuff I don’t like.
The ship they have is functional enough, but it doesn't have much screen presence. I literally could not tell you what it's called right now without looking it up.I do like this sow and look forward to it each week. But I’ve realised that to me Star Trek = Star Fleet. While I understand that the universe contains far more than Federation starships, what I like most about Star Trek is the stuff with Federation starships. That’s the ‘universe’ I’ve been invested in since I was a kid. It’s a bubble in a large universe, but Star Trek has always been that bubble.
I guess what I’m saying is — gimme a proper starship! I love big Starfleet starships!

I wonder if the climax of the season might see them confronted by the current Enterprise.
