* AscendedFanon: "Future Guy"'s name came from fans who started using it to refer to the humanoid figure. Eventually, the producers of ''Enterprise'' used it as the character's actual name in the script. He was listed on the ''Memory Alpha'' wiki as "Future Guy" for a few years, before being renamed "Humanoid Figure" in keeping with the site's in-universe tone.

** The planned refit to the NX-01 ''Enterprise'' for the unproduced fifth season of the show was later made canon by ''Series/StarTrekPicard''. A young Jean-Luc is seen playing with a model of the refit NX-01 with its added engineering hull, and later the actual NX-01 itself is seen at the Federation Fleet Museum among other legendary starships from ''Trek'' history, also sporting the refit engineering hull.

** Creator/JoleneBlalock , [[PromotedFanboy a die-hard Trekkie from childhood]], was the most dissatisfied -- and vocal -- member of the cast. Like [[Creator/LeonardNimoy Nimoy]] and [[Creator/TimRuss Russ]] before her, she spent an enormous amount of time reiterating how true Vulcans are supposed to act and criticizing the scripts. She also found it a bit silly how T'Pol's hair never moves; if a single hair was out of place during a firefight, they would send her to makeup and reshoot it.

* PlayingAgainstType: It took a while for Bakula and the writers to get a handle on Archer. He started out as a happy-go-lucky, regular schmoe... Right before they blow it all up and just go full ''“I Can’t Believe It’s Not Sisko, Can You?”'' with Archer’s characterization. Which is more interesting, but also not really tailored to Bakula as a performer.

* AuthorsSavingThrow:
** The Vulcans in ''Enterprise'' (particularly T'Pol) were criticized by viewers for acting very [[NotSoStoic un-Vulcan-like]], nearly indistinguishable from Romulans. This was used as the basis of a three-episode story in the fourth season involving the Syrannites, an orthodox sect of Vulcans (in contrast to Vulcan society which has "strayed from Surak's teachings"), and the discovery of the Kir'Shara (the original copy of Surak's writings). It is said that Season 5 would have tried to explain why T'Pol is more emotional than most Vulcans by revealing she was actually half-Romulan.[[note]]Despite that Vulcans are by nature a ''deeply'' emotional people; their control is entirely learned.[[/note]]
** Another complaint was how the show did nothing to show the formation of the Federation. Again, this was addressed in the fourth season with a three-episode story that showed the beginnings of alliance between Humans, Vulcans, Andorians and Tellarites (the Federation's four founding species) [[spoiler:as well as the formation of the "Coalition of Planets" in the penultimate two-part story]].
** Also, the greatest one of all, "Judgment", which turns the entire Klingon race from a [[{{Flanderization}} gigantic flanderization]] to a retroactive TearJerker that shows that the warrior caste took over the Klingons' entire culture slowly over several hundred years. By the time of ''Series/StarTrekVoyager'', the warriors are all that's left.
** Season 1 had both Archer and the NX-01 constantly [[CurbStompBattle getting wrecked]] by every other threat of the week. Archer from season 2 onward is far more adept in combat and wins many fistfights and firefights, while the NX-01 (after getting its phase cannons) starts winning a lot more ship actions (including against the Klingons), even before it upgrades with enhanced hull plating and photonic torpedoes at the end of season 2.
** Season 4 can be seen as one really long AuthorsSavingThrow; bringing in a new head writer who promptly set the writers' team to cleaning up the mess of his predecessors. It wasn't perfect, but there was reasonably only so much they could do in one season, as well as devoting so much time to retconning the three previous clunky seasons.
