i mean, i get you, this is all kinds of ridiculous but at least one member of the enterprise crew got hit by purple lightning and turned into a virtual god and the enterprise met the god apollo and q, trelane, the organians... star trek is weird, is my point

Yeah if we're talking absurd protagonist-centrism let's remember that the pilot and finale of TNG are bookends showing Q has chosen Picard to be the representative of the whole human race in Q's test to see if our species deserves to survive

The implication is Picard is some kind of ideal test case for what humans will someday become if they are allowed to evolve into gods

This is kind of why, if we want to get serious about it, Q not showing up at all on Star Trek: Picard feels like a plot hole I mean Picard actually dies on this show and on TNG Q did a whole fake afterlife/time travel thing when he just had a heart attack

Well ST: Picard contradicts so much of all the other series’s continuity that it’s really an alternate universe. It’s really good! But makes no sense, canon-wise.

It's not about how much they'd have to pay you it's that the real writers would absolutely deeply resent having to take any kind of orders from a continuity nerd

They barely listen to the science consultants who advise them on plausibility, like they clearly mainly have them just to say they do

IIRC they actively dislike continuity anyway, so that nerd will exist solely to be enraged as much as possible each week.

In order to make a Star Trek show and get a budget, a nerd has to be locked in a room alone with the continuity errors. Writers can have all the money they want for their time mech storylines, but they can never comfort or help the nerd.
