ENT S1E22
I am declaring next weekend to be an official Sato-day!
With how often we see people in a holodeck, I actually wonder how many hours a week they actually work. When Le Forge says it’s gonna take 16 hours to fix the engines, he isn’t working that whole time right? I thought the future was supposed to be better with the whole work/life balance thing.

It means there’s a team working on it during the entire time, and it’s not useful in any way to increase the team size. They also talk a lot about how that time is buffered.
In an emergency it would make sense to make people work for longer, so maybe there’s some rescheduling implicit on it. But they never make it clear.
Is there a reason why officers in ENT are typically never referred to by their last name like every other series?
It’s supposed to be less militaristic. By the time of tos Starfleet is pretty well established as being a space navy. The idea was that in the beginning Starfleet would be more like a band of explorers who were all experts in their own fields and everything, including the command structure would be less formal.
Because the captain knows nothing about how a military ship is supposed to run and he also thinks it’s a good idea to bring a dog on a ship that can spend days between places where a dog can do his business without some poor enlisted following him around with a mop and bucket.
