After making this, I realized “What About Barclay?” would be a better candidate, but Q works for this scene.

    Q should’ve been the ship’s chef in Enterprise, and the last episode should not have been a holodeck experience.

      I genuinely would’ve found this hilarious and should’ve been done. Hell, I didn’t know I needed this imagery till now.

        It’s what I was expecting from the finale episode when I watched it. Instead, I was left disappointed.

        The chef being off-screen yet somehow involved in a few storylines, it only makes sense that it was Q or a time traveller.

      For a while, I thought that last episode was intended to make the entire series nothing but a holonovel. Making it so none of it counted because it was in-universe fictional was a goddamn brilliant way to redeem that entire dogshit show.

      Then other stuff started referencing it like it was canon and it went back to being an unforgivable disgrace.

            Fair enough. ENT as a series is on the weaker end of the spectrum, but not without its strengths. For example, s1e13 “Dear Doctor” focuses on Dr. Phlox and one of the best moral/ethical dilemmas in all of Trek. No “pew pew” flashy distractions, but rather a lot of discussion on the choice to help others at the cost of cultural contamination.

      Patrick Stewart may not be as animated as Richard Dreyfuss, but it still works.
