A good article is—
The first look gives me an impression of a good article itself. Well written with good focus. Some points to be regarded are:
The article have passed the review. All looks fine and properly fitted. Cites are of no great problem and GA standard is achieved. Though it was a quick review, I feel that all is fine with the article. A better cited article is expected on the future, but for now, it's ready to roll out. -

I read that LeVar Burton was "ashamed" of this episode but it wasn't from a good source and it was a very selective quote, entirely missing any context. It also seemed unlikely that he would say something like that publicly. I was eventually able to track down the original quote that seems to be the source of this claim.
In an interview with Dreamwatch magazine Doug Mirabello who was the personal assistant to Rick Berman, said
People generally knew when an [Enterprise] episode was bad. We even had one director go to the producers and tell them he was ashamed to direct the episode where our crew turned into lizard people.
TrekBBS summary and Sci Fi Pulse Transcript of Doug Mirabello interview
Readers seem to have deduced that the only Enterprise episode that fits this description is Extinction and of course the director was LeVar Burton. This assumes that Mirabello was mistaken when he said "turned into lizard people" since in in this episode they do not appear to be turning into lizards. Also please note that quote was edited to include "[Enterprise]" in brackets, it is possible that Mirabello was referring to the much derided Star Trek: Voyager episode Threshold where the crew turn into amphibians (or less likely Genesis (Star Trek: The Next Generation) where Data's cat devolves into a lizard).
I had thought maybe I could use this quote and say it was According to Doug Mirabello but it is still a logical leap to assume he really was even talking about this episode, or LeVar Burton. Fans can make that sort of logical leap but there is too much assumption and original research for an encyclopedia to make any such claims, at least not based on the indirect sources that never actually mention Burton.
I would have liked to include more more Production details, particularly about LeVar Burton and any views he may have had about the episode, but unfortunately this claim is unusable. Having spent the time trying to sort this out I mention it here in case anyone else can find a better source, but more to save anyone else from wasting time on this like I just did. -- 109.76.211.106 ( talk) 14:15, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
