The third season has some issues if you look at the plot too closely, but the simple fun factor is high enough that I don't care.

Smiling Spock in SNW channels the same energy.

What a crossover.

Or Farscape's. We got The Peacekeeper Wars to wrap it up eventually, though.

Also Flemeth in Dragon Age.

I want to know how many takes were used for the, "Yes, ma'am, his army of evil," bit. I always crack when he says it.

I'd argue she was actually more logical and rational than her former shipmates despite being more emotional. Everything she said in her first episode was completely right, even though it often violated protocol. Logically, either the protocol should be reexamined or T'Lyn should be given more leeway during her off hours. Punishing T'Lyn rather than working out something that would be beneficial to everyone was illogical and irrational. To me, it highlighted the big flaw of Vulcan culture - that their dogmatic and unquestioning adherence to Surak's teachings is, paradoxically, illogical. Spock eventually understood this, as his line, "Logic is the beginning of wisdom, not the end," demonstrates. That T'Lyn quoted that line would indicate that she has been studying Spock and is likely following a philosophy similar to the one he arrived at in his old age. Logic is a tool, a means to an end, but it is not the end itself. Those who fixate on being logical as an end unto itself ultimately have no goal and are often unable to see the forest for the trees.

I'm not keen on the nuclear hellfire bit, but visiting Risa does sound nice...

Probably aroumd the time replicators became widespread, so, during The Lost Era.

Voyager is just a hair longer than the classic Enterprise, but it's also chonkier so it has more volume. About 150 people on an Intrepid-class, 200 on a Constitution-class.

I think they want to ease her into the cast instead of suddenly having five mains.

Yep, the Enterprise has about the volume of an aircraft carrier, but only a fraction of the crew. By modern standards it is downright roomy.
