This video just showed up in my feed that explains what's going on with the whole Moonves/Kurtzman thing:

Got an explanation using written words? I hate sitting through youtube videos for a paragraph and a half worth of idea.

God damn we were not prepared for just how shit pop culture would get back 10 years ago when everyone was clamouring for new star trek/new star wars/new LOTR movies/new ghostbusters/new whatever

Essentially what I mentioned earlier. Moonves out, Star Trek 4 likely not happening. No mention of Tarantino-Trek, even though it's got a full staff already. Kurtzman trying to make a cinematic universe tying in Picard/Lower Decks/Possibly Discovery (though it's on its death bed).

From the Star Trek Birmingham convention, Mulgrew showed up and said she'd love to be Janeway for the new Picard series, but likely not going to get a role. No one's been contacted. Cheeky comment about Garret Wang willing to play anything is true. Hell, Tim Russ has been desperately trying to keep Tuvok around forever, even in his own fan films, which he had to redo, removing Star Trek from the title because of CBS's rules on fan films back in 2016.

iirc during the heyday of incorporating your fanfilm as a non-profit there were a few actors doing that sort of thing as a tax write-off
 
The problem with Enterprise was the metastasized problem with Voyager.

Everyone in production just wanted to keep hammering a paycheck. Voyager production numbering started at 801, they just wanted to keep TNG rolling.

By Enterprise Brannon and Braga were just riding the corpse for as long as they could. IIRC, they wrote 21 of the first season's 22 episodes. Season 4 is highly regarded, despite just low expectations, because the network cleaned house of the used up writers, and brought someone in who actually tried.
 
I just randomly watched the next episode in my netflix queue for DS9, and since I had recently decided to re-watch "Way of the warrior 1 and 2", that episode happened to be "The Visitor"
The one where Sisko gets trapped in a void and his son goes through his whole life and ends up killing himself as an old man to save his father.
Holy fucking shit I forgot how good this episode was...
And then I realized... Jake went through so much to save his father and Sisko just ended up leaving him again a few years later to never be seen again. (I never bothered to read the books, but I'm assuming they brought him back at some point)

So does he even says WHY he did that?

the Nagus needed a zany scheme to get other Ferengi on board the idea of women being allowed to own property and stuff, and so Quark had to step up because I don't remember

also changing gender back and forth is no biggie much like the time they all became transKlingons

I forgot that Star Trek sometimes went off the rails
 
This probably hasn't been said so bluntly, but Trek is the shit.

I feel I need to boost up my knowledge past being just a filthy casual.

Edit: Old Trek, not new Trek. Oh god, not new Trek.

I'm not that down on the episode, but I generally like DS9's "Those Wacky (((Ferengi)))" episodes.

(((Ferengi?))) I always thought that (((Changelings))) were a neater fit.

That said, I think the Ferengi worked better for generating b-plots, especially Nog- "In the Cards" and "Treachery, Faith, and the Great River" are both personal favorites. Ferengi wackiness makes for an amusing diversion but sours if you try to make a whole episode around it ("Magnificent Ferengi" possibly excepted.)
