Foundation (2021)
Interesting so far - some differences from books are too important to ignore
You have the right to change the details, but the core story is important to be maintained.
A) First of all, it was a grave error for phycohistorians to be included in the expedition team on Terminus, including Sheldon. The colony was supposed to be "enslaved" to historical necessity, without knowledge of how this works exactly. This, I believe is the reason for the assasination of Sheldon. Suicide is more likely.
B) The first crisis of Terminus is not supposed to be resolved with violence, or random heroics from the Hardin mayor or other "you are unique crap". It is supposed to be resolved almost automatically. Maybe it is not as thrilling for audience, used to drama and excitement and last minute rescues from heroes. But if you want to be called Foundation, you have to respect this much.
Enterprise: Marauders (2002)
Bad plot, Klingons behave like they don't know anything about battle
Apart from the described above fact that this episode is a classic cliché, with good guys and bad one -dimentional guys, I really disliked the bad setting of the final battle. Klingons had teleportation on their side, and they are supposed to be ruthless but well trained tacticians in that face to face field battle. Instead wee see klingons behave like mindless barbarians, charging in a group formation against well placed dispersed hidden opponents with the higher ground.
Its a no brainer. They could lock on their opponents with the transport and disable them. Or at least pinpoint from space their location (no scanners?). Or at least transport themselves to a better location.
In the end, when the trap flames encircled them, they didn't use their transports to escape until all was over.
Bad scenario, written in an afternoon.
