As I've said in the past, it's an unfortunate truth that writers can only create characters who are exactly the same intelligence or dumber than they are.
This is part of why some of the best TV shows are based upon books. Authors tend to be smarter than the average screenwriter, and thus showrunners can start the project with a lot of the hardest work already figured out for them.

Maybe that's why 90% of Starfleet is human? Generally speaking, only humans are dumb enough to join, where everyone else is living it up in post-scarcity utopia?
That's actually one of the best descriptions I've seen of Enterprise. Swap movie for tv series and it fits perfectly.
The pacing feels very much like a "TV as a movie" kind of thing. What's forgotten is that each episode has to be good on a standalone basis. Everyone wants to be "Breaking Bad" but no one wants to put in the work. Or they just don't have the talent.
What celebrity cameos did Enterprise have? Off the top of my head, Voyager got the major ones (Sarah Silverman, Andy Dick, The Rock, etc).
I'm more convinced that Voq is supposed to be the albino from blood oath, who was named in some book as "Qagh" which means mistake. I mean, if they are already grabbing other obscure references from books...
He's a klingon that normally would have been "dashed against the rocks"(as a baby, because he was born so white) And Voq is about to become a pariah seeking vengeance against the "cool" klingon.

Regarding the tardigrade type creature, I thought for sure the Captain was just keeping it just to troll the Klingons by beaming it aboard one of their vessels during a conflict. Surprise.....
As mediocre as Season 2 was it still had a few genuinely great episodes. "Carbon Creek," "Dead Stop" and "Cogenitor" stand out the most with "First Flight" being a good flashback episode that delivered some much-needed character development for both Archer and Trip.
I enjoyed the episode very much. Landry won't be missed. I'm glad they wrote in consequences for doing something so stupid.
Loved the battle simulations and the real one. It was good to see the doctor, at last. I really liked the look of medical.
Only negative thing is for me the Klingon scenes really drag. I was never a fan of Klingon stuff anyway, but these Klingons seem to talk even slower and have a hard time enunciating (they could have fixed the latter issue in post..I wish I they would.)
To quote Crow T Robot, these Klingons, "The eye creatures. Scabbing, inflexible, lethargic, mucus-expelling creatures having no spoken language and no particular powers with which to conquer. They were also unfortunate enough to have evolved with heavy-duty zippers running up their backs."
ok it's not entirely relevant but I keep hearing Crow in my head when they switch to a Klingon scene. Anyway 9/10

Season 2 had Carbon Creek, which I believe was nominated for a HUGO! It also had dead stop, regeneration, future tense...I have to go look now. Season 2 rocks
Edit: Minefield, Vanishing Point, First Flight, The expanse,
Yes!
You know, Doug Jones played Abe Sapien in two Hellboy movies. In the second, he provided the character's voice. In the first, the voice was done by David Hyde Pierce.
I feel like this show is getting a verrrry generous grading curve here.
It had a Carradine brother and James Cromwell. That was about it. Oh, and it mentioned Conan O'Brien during a time travel episode but we never saw any other celebrities nor their names pop up in the series.
I actually heard the screams of millions of disaffected Star Trek continuity buffs when Lorca mentioned Elon Musk.
Voyager also had a member of the Jordanian royal family (The current King, if i am not mistaken)
Ent had Seth McFarlane.
You and me both.
