Though there was one exception, which pissed off Kahn to no end.

To be fair it was cross promotion on the Network Voyager was airing on with a show that was airing the night after. But the Rock being on Star Trek is something no one can ever take away. It might have been stunt casting, but it was unique stunt casting.

Have they ever explained (in any of the ST shows) why the holodeck has the option to remove safety protocols?
I am trying a tad hard to understand why a ship would allow this. My only theory is that they have it this way as a sort of last resort defense against invaders.

Closing quotes save lives.
I knew it was a sequel to an episode but I had never seen the epsiode.
Debugging feature. Really should be behind some kind of admin code. That the command staff do NOT have.
I can't disagree. With reduced episode count, if there's an arc or multiple arcs to tell, that screentime is essential. Like or dislike the show I'm about to mention as reference, "The Orville" was trying to juggle three running arcs - but sped those up while trying to have inane fluff fun episodes. The result was a less satisfying experience all around, especially when some of the arcs and build-ups felt doing something fresh but then they resorted to cheap shortcuts to expedite it just so they could do the fluffy fun, which felt more hollow as a result...
I stumbled on a post in social media* that made an interesting claim in a reply to a post: The episode was trying to suggest how AI recreation of something may be inaccurate as well as a statement about the energy consumption needed, which works rather well in that context so I'm likely siding with them. it's an oddly easy find considering so many replies to the post surrounding that one are saying either the fans need to get a life** and/or they're taking it too seriously. Granted, Trek has done light episodes before that worked and humor is always going to be subjective. But in a day and age now where show makers might when not actually tell the audiences to "go and do something with some green turf outdoors" (can't blame the viewers at that point) or whatever the euphemism is and then wonder why the ratings actually went down because more and more viewers actually took the advice (regardless if the drop is not enough to not renew it for another reason, any new season having a format change will easily say that they're just trying to shift the format to prevent things from getting stale, or it can mean they've ran out of ideas but only the folks in the writers room and producer make any changes to begin with...) So many reasons, at the end of the day there's more to pick than at a nose convention.
The modern shows do remind why TNG placed itself ~80 years into the future, to allow loose continuity and future-building while not tripping over the past. The longer a franchise goes, it's inevitable that something won't quite add up. Not to mention the attitudes and issues of the time, since if people - for example - are forgetting or misinterpreting the then-important reason of miniskirts****, how will current shows be mistaken for in roughly six decades' time from now?
* I don't always provide sources***, but in this instance it's on Reddit' Trek forum: (Good luck in wading... or at least get some "lo-cal popcorn"...)
** Smells like 1986 spirit, which becomes a multifaceted analysis in of itself, where's that no-caf coffee so we can drink 10~100x as much to get the comparable amount of caffeine from 1 cup of the regular coffee? (Decaf having 0.1~12mg caffeine, regular caf is 80~120mg, if you believe the AI but I will without any single thought...) Note to self, don't drink anything like 10~100x decaf...
*** mostly out of laziness or to reduce the risk of carpal tunnel, pronounced by most sufferers as "crappy f*** 'ell!!!", but I digress again...
**** Grace Lee Whitney and Nichelle Nichols had discussed what it was like at the time
LOL! So do commas...
To borrow one of many memes:
"How to cook
crack and
clean a crab"
definitely reads differently than
"How to cook,
crack, and
clean a crab"
That said, the ordering of the instructions doesn't hurt as well since one would want to clean before cooking and cook before cracking... we're assuming that the hapless crustacean there is already down for the count, since applying a scrub brush to a living one might result in some undesired pinching action. Or have it hold some walnuts and multitask in the process, but a lot of seafood is all cholesterol-loaded-fins to begin with...
But I digressed via the tangent.
The Berman era managed to come up with fresh ideas. Again SNW is relying on TOS. Even the characters. There were unexplored crew members in the cage and where no man has gone before that could have been explored in this series but instead we relied on the TOS crew and we saw Kirk the first season. This show already has more than half the TOS crew and they are recycling their stories. Yawn.
Except the entire episode is a TNG trope.
Im talking about all of snw and I have mentioned tng earlier. But right this one lifted off of TNG and TOS.
He's a film editor who directed a low budget movie called Free Enterprise in the 90s, and was involved as a fan film director in the Axanar imbroglio about a decade ago.
Ah. I heard of free enterprise. Never saw it. I also remember axanar. An interesting project but it killed quality fan films.
Hell, Kirk marries, conceives a child and both the mother and child die in a stoning attack by local natives. Miramanee is never again mentioned in onscreen canon.
Tbf that was an episode in the third season. So there was not enough time to mention it again.
There's endless original stories you can tell in Star Trek, it's a blend of pulp sci-fi and fantasy which doesn't rely on consistent rules or physical laws. Just come up with any high-concept hook and you're off.
It's a universe of sentient nebulas, cyberpunk megalopolises, knights and barbarians, godlike entities, post-apocalyptic deserts, other realities, entirely non-human forms of life... the only limit on the number of stories it can contain is set by the writers' imaginations.

And the animated series.
