Just wait until those fan film makers with Enterprise bridges in their garages realise they can actually do this.

4 Hour Shift: A Star Trek Fan Production
Wherein I find Data and Picard the two TNG characters that I can best write their voices. Data is a reflection of the Human condition. The classic outsider. When well written he is a powerful character.
When treated as the android joke he is not.
Agreed. I just don’t like the Data-centric episodes at all. “Data’s Day” is mundane tripe. “Datalore” is one of the worst episodes in the series.
Just not my cup of tea.
In Voyager Seventh season, the senior staff suffers from long-term memory losses... Whatever happened?
The Doctor: "As far as I know, Captain, you haven't executed any of my patients."
<cough, cough>Tuvix<cough,cough>
------
Alien guy: Nanoprobes, cybernetic implants. Are others on your crew like you?
SEVEN: No, I'm unique.
<cough, cough>Icheb<cough,cough>
--------
CHAKOTAY: I never expected to run into people like these (IE primitive people) on such a technologically advanced planet.
How about when he met the "rubber people" with his father on technologically advanced Earth?
---------
Maybe they just need a little more protein in their daily intake, all but the Doctor who may have been tampered with, again!!!

I agree every plot point in these is just stupid, the facial tick, the can't do contraction thing, the shut up Wesley part which gets old really fast...
I don't like Wesley but the crew ignoring everything he says even when he's stating the obvious is just idiotic.
Data's day is stupid even the wedding part, I mean the pre-wedding jitters are so cliché... Plus IRL I've never seen it or heard of it. It seems like a very artificial way of creating micro drama.
I can confirm that I, my (then) bride to be, as well as several friends when they got married had them. But, I do agree it is quite cliché.
There's also the question of why they would maintain a treaty for so long with such deceitful and underhanded people. How can they expect the Romulans to honor their end of the agreement (whatever it is)? I don't know what the Romulan gave in exchange for being the only ones allowed to use a cloaking device but I wouldn't be surprised if it was a big nothing given how naive a gullible the federation turns out to be.
The Romulans had the Ferengi write the fine print.
That seems like a rather odd thing to write.
"Errand of Mercy":
So the reasons for making the various Romulan treaties seem perfectly clear to me.
And by the way, Klingons also seem to be allowed to use cloaking devices.

Oh yeah, the two most deceitful, unreliable, and violent peoples are the ones authorized to use the cloaking device!!! Perfect!
"Authorized?"
As if the Romulans or the Klingons would ask permission from the Federation to use it or even if they were forbidden by treaty they would stop.

The Mission Log podcast brought out that the original idea for "Code of Honor" was for the aliens to be reptiles and not human looking. Given that the racism is the result of the visuals, having non-human looking aliens would have removed the racism appearance.
Likewise, "Justice" is just as racist (in an opposite way) as "Code of Honor" for the exact same reason, - visual depiction. The Edo are supposed to be the ideal look of physical perfection. The planet is even described as an Eden. Yes folks, paradise is populated by only blond Caucasians. The ideal look of physical perfection is an Aryan White supremacist wet dream.
Which is why introducing the Borg Queen guts the need for Locutus. ST:FC totally nullifies and contradicts the who raison d'être of BOBW
It doesn't nullify it, it retcons it into the Queen being lonely and wishing for an equal.
Which puts Picard (and then Data) on one hell of a trillions-high pedestal.
Plus Picard - being a widely-recognized human even at the time of the Battle of Wolf 359 - would have been the better intermediary between the Collective and humanity than, say, a greasy, creepy female humanoid from an indeterminate species with hoses attached to the top of her head and a sinister way of speaking. Starfleet was familiar with Picard and he'd have been used in much the same way the Mayor in the original Red Dawn was used by the occupying Soviets, Cubans and Nicaraguans to help facilitate the local community's absorption into their new order.
I really do enjoy day-in-the-life as a trope, and while the Ambassador's attempt to extract information from Data was a little ham-fisted, I still enjoyed Data's Day. I will say also that it cemented my dislike for Keiko.
Janeway was the only one to beat them.
Well, what did you expect? It was freaking JANEWAY, for crying out loud!

Exactly, so why even bother to sign a treaty with these bozos in the first place?
