      Some creative writer may take up the subject again in the future. The disparity made for some of the best story fodder in ENT’s run, so hopefully they take that as an example and don’t just try to bury it forever. There’s some ripe worldbuilding to be done there!

      I really feel ENT messed this up. Yes, it was a nice three(?)-parter, and a clever explanation. But it shouldn’t have happened. The DS9 ep lampshaded the thing; time to move on.

      We also don’t have “hey, why did the ships and planets used to look like cardboard and styrofoam” plot arcs. “Budget and tech weren’t there” doesn’t need an in-universe fake explanation.
