What story elements would you remove or just forget exist from canon?

There were still Vulcans old enough to remember when Humans were barely capable of warp one.

That's only if you accept that the Vulcanians discovered the space warp before Cochrane.

It'd harder to believe Cochrane was the first to invent it in the entire galaxy......

No. I don't think he was. But he would be for the "locals". As later Trek (mid Trek?) would tell it of the "main" Trek societies he was last.

But he did it best...or something.

Yes. Living on a tropical island with naked women, etched on the statue after the TNG gang got back....

 

[Oddish]

Well, maybe his vision was changed by his experiences... now, he was fine with living on a tropical island with scantily clothed women.

 

[Unimatrix Q]

Actually from all characters in the Star Trek universe, Cochrane is the one who is mostly like Gene

Forget about Wesley as a stand in for Roddenberry

I'm sure it has been mentioned 10 pages in, but in the Picard forum the subject of the Klingon Ridges in that Enterprise 2 parter came up and I wish they had done those two episodes without having to explain the Klingon Ridges. Coming in the same season where Enterprise "fixed" the Vulcans, the whole Klingon Ridge thing didn't have to be explained. It was something best left to the imagination, especially on the heels of what Worf said about not wanting to discuss it with outsiders.

 

[Nerys Myk]

Worf's line was good gag.
The Enterprise two parter was unnessecary
The better gag would have been Dorn in TOS make-up with out comment.

And I wanted the Vulcans to be right sometimes and humans to be wrong. I wanted to see humans humbled and have to learn from Vulcans and other species, which really should've been the case in the ENT era when Vulcans were so further ahead when it came to space travel.

I suppose this is dependent on what you deem as “being right.” Despite the show’s framing coming across as “Yay humans!” on the whole, I would argue T’Pol was often right. I don’t know what the general consensus was at the time of Enterprise’s airing (I was living abroad without internet service) but a good number of current viewers seem to agree with me, at least from a look at recent Tumblr posts:

“T’Pol - a dog sitter. To clarify; Archer is the dog in this scenario”

“The amount of times Archer should have said “you were right” to T’Pol really bakes my beans.”

“Archer and t’pol: you know that screaming child running around the store destroy[ing] everything in [sight]… and the mother trying to catch him yeah that’s them…”

“i gotta admit i dont really love enterprise but t’pol pretty much makes it worth watching. shes a fantastic character and the nx-01 would be debris floating in space somewhere if it wasnt for her. t’pol i love you”

Now, should characters in the show have acknowledged how often T’Pol and Vulcan standard operating procedures were actually correct? Yes.

They should have lampshaded it by using TOS makeup when he's on the station and DS9 makeup when he's on Defiant.

Of course what's funny is none of the Klingons on K7 recognized him as being an unaltered Klingon.

He had a hat on that concealed his brow ridges.

Religion in Klingon and Vulcan society. No MA, there is no Religion in a logical society.

Huge mis-steps in STIII and TNG

You forgot TAS. Maybe they know something we don't?

Even if "no religion in logical society" could be used against the Vulcans, why would it be used against the Klingons? They have never been depicted as a "logical society" so why can't they have religion, according to your reasoning?

Must disagree. If the empirical evidence presented by careful observation of the universe points to the presence of a higher power at work, then religion becomes eminently logical.

Even if "no religion in logical society" could be used against the Vulcans, why would it be used against the Klingons? They have never been depicted as a "logical society" so why can't they have religion, according to your reasoning?

And Klingons don't really have a religion, per se... according to "Homefront", their gods are dead.
