What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

[dupersuper]

No reason except to get himself, nearly killed, by a godlike creature that he kept insulting.

I don't know but I find that scene where Scotty jumps at Appollo when he's already been struck once, really funny.

What did he think was gonna happen?

What's with people confusing episodes recently in this thread? That wasn't Melkot.

To be fair I think Swedish Borg was just referencing another time Scotty was part of a landing party when he didn't really need to be, not that the planet Apollo was on was Melkot. That was Pollux IV.

True. That was another mission where Scotty was more trouble than it was worth. Jumping at a creature that can kill you with an act of will is as stupid and useless as jumping in front of a bus at full speed to try to stop it!!!

Scotty was a great engineer but at times he could be a hotheaded fool and that made him a liability in missions like this.

It was that old Antifa practice coming out.

I don't see the relation.

Do you know what he's talking about?

 

[cooleddie74]

I don't want to know.

I don't want to know.

I'm going to tell you anyway. James Doohan was part of the biggest gang of antifa thugs that ever existed. The Allied D-Day invasion of Europe.

 

[cooleddie74]

AH.

Gotcha.

It's almost like it is a TV show about characters played by actors that get paid money...I know, I was just as shocked as you were.

I know people don't mean this extreme, but when I hear complaints about how unrealistic entertainment is,it makes me think of this scenario for the ideal realistic episode.

When the episode starts we are on the bridge but Kirk is not there, nor is Spock. There's two guys sitting at the helm console but they're not Sulu and Chekov, they're total strangers. Another two people we've never seen before are sitting at Uhura and Spock's stations.

The captain's chair may be empty, but if it's occupied, it's someone we've never seen before of course.

So for the rest of the episode, all these strange people that we don't know or care about just stare at the screen or attend to their stations. If anyone says anything, it's totally uninteresting.

So when the episode ends, absolutely nothing has happened.

Now that's what I call realistic entertainment.

Star Trek: Gamma Shift!

Yea space, where no one can hear you die of boredom.

 

[Farscape One]

'Day in the life' kind of stories don't have to be boring.

"Data's Day" and "IN THE CARDS" are great episodes.

 

[fireproof78]

Boredom is in the eye of the beholder.

 

[cooleddie74]

And that episode is that trait personified.

Controversial Opinion: “Data’s Day” sucks.

[Farscape One]

I definitely disagree with that.

We are not only treated with a look through Data's eyes on a typical day, but O'Brien gets married and we get some developmemt of Dr. Crusher, who we discover is a dance champion.

"There are still many Human emotions I do not comprehend: anger, hatred, revenge. But I am not mystified by the desire to be loved or the need for friendship. These are things I do understand." - Data

Data makes a better human than most actual humans living now.

 

[fireproof78]

Data just isn't that interesting.
