The Road to Deep Space Nine ends in a place we didn't expect at a time we never considered. It's like Agincourt, Appomattox, or AR-558.
I don't really know what else to say.

Ambassador Picard and his team of intrepid twelve-year-olds! ...Ro needs her arm twisted into breaking the rules...? Would've been fun for her to periodically re-de-age herself again for kicks, and be seen walking around in the background of some later episode her character doesn't otherwise feature in. Your opinion on child actorhood though - is that a thing you've mentioned before in this podcast?
Alexander and Little Worf, buddy comedy! A bus-load of Klingon children vs. the Bough Breakers of Aldea!
If the saucer were separated, I could maybe buy the Ferengi successfully boarding the saucer; the kids making a successful boarding action against Ferengi ships would make more sense; or the Ferengi kidnapping them off the shuttle & converting them into kid bodies to make them easier to manage.
Is "putting a person's mind in a different body will change the person" worth an episode in itself (and, if you saw that season of Discovery, do you think they handled it well enough)?
The Ferengi's motives and competence kind of remind me of these capitalist slugs from Doctor Who. Maybe because one of their eps also involved how body-switching alters the mind's performance.
PS: I cannot donate, and don't remember what you said in your podcast. Donate as you see fit to donate.
About kids not being actors? Probably. It's an old saw for me.
If they just took the saucer, I could see it, but it'd have to be a "the saucer can't repel firepower of that magnitude and half of our crew is gone!" thing.
If you're referring to Ash Tyler in Discovery, I haven't seen the story arc, but I'm generally familiar with it. I couldn't imagine seeing it making it make any sense. Spoilers, but he's just a Klingon, right? And they treat him like a human who is objectively dead? What?
Ah, yeah, forgot the saucer isn't just civilians.
He's a Klingon, but they do a fair bit with the psychology of being in the wrong body. It's not totally unlike Riker in Frame of Mind.
