Better to have some sort of ship that just imagine it. Nowadays, if they didn't show the ship, it would come across as extremely cheap and a cheat. So, they work with what they got.

'crappy' is subjective. I think it looks fine.
It's as canon as the rest of the series.
Exposition episode, nothing particularly remarkable but good to know a bit more background I guess.
Seems that Chakotai is actually lost in the future!

This.
And this. There's a whole generation who only know the rematsered effects. There's nothing 'vague' about their status.
Ignorance doesn't make fake history reall!
I liked the “she met a boy” line. No further explanation is needed.
I hope there's an opportunity to expand on that. "She met a boy," kind of diminishes her own journey to, "Doe-eyed waif really has no thoughts of her own and let a boy lead her astray."
It's the only version AFAIK that you can watch on streaming services.
Either way it's not 'fake history'. It's just as legitimate as the original footage.

CHAKOTAY: I don't suppose you can fly us out of here?!
COMMANDER: Har har. Very funny. You know that Bolian barber clipped my wings too short. I said, "Nothing fancy. Just a little off the bottom that's all. Clean up my moltings." Besides, I haven't eaten my own body weight for energy today. I only had a scoop of quadrotriticale and flaxseed this morning. Why don't you change into a bird and get us out of this?
CHAKOTAY: Wrong tribe.
CHAKOTAY: "Some robot thing named Peanut Hamper did WHAT to your people?!?"
Shhh...nobody is supposed to acknowledge that it's all fake history of an imaginary world. It's all real
Yeah it is. I'm sorry.
It's a problem they get to see TOS in the best possible quality?
The FX doesn't change the story, they haven't edited any of the dialogue. The episodes are exactly the same, just with updated FX.
So the shoe is on the other foot. Janeway had Tuvok infiltrate the Maquis to stop their aggression against Federation policy, and now a covert agent has infiltrated her crew with intent to stop the Federation.
Karma. Wow.
Karma. Wow.
When we're talking about an imaginary world yes it is.
Both are considered canon and official. You just get the choice of which version you prefer to watch.
Yeah about that. Did the ship actually make contact with the Solum, or did the Solum just discover the ship when doing astronomical observations of their system? Maybe the ship was never supposed to make contact, but they were accidentally detected, so the crew had to do a hasty first contact which ended up creating more problems. Also there's another goof that when the Protostar arrives, it's still the upside Prometheus, you can even seen the blue deflector dish.First contact with Solum was made by an upside down Prometheus
The stories were good, but I do still have some questions about Rok-Tahk origins. Who were her parents (if such a concept is applicable to her species)? Is her species native to the Delta Quadrant? How did she end up in the arena in the first place?
Also, how old is Zero? Did they originally join the Medusan expedition, which seems to have started around the time of TOS, or were they maybe born latter? At least we know Jankom Pog was in stasis for a long time.
Based on Zero's description of his Medusan shipmates, "Curious minds who'd left their homeworld long, long ago to explore", it sounds like they were an offshoot of the Medusan people who decided to separate from their homeworld, so perhaps their homeworld could only spare a really old-fashioned ship for them to use (unless they left during TOS times, in which case they were given a contemporary ship for that era which looks old to us now)
